San Jose State Looks to Bounce Back
San Jose State faced off against Boise State in the last game and they were competitive in the first half, but in the second half, they struggled and ended up losing 41-21. Walker Eget did have a strong start on offense completing 34 of his 50 passes for 446 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. The turnovers were an issue and that is going to need to be cleaned up. Justin Lockhart had a strong game putting up 10 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown.
