San Jose State Spartans
Spring practice starts: TBA
Spring game: TBA
What to watch
San Jose State started the conference season
strong, winning four of its first five, but
lost its final three games to end the season
and miss out on a bowl berth. While some of
the struggles were because of injuries to key
players, there also was a lack of offense, which
will need to get rectified this spring. During
that three-game losing streak, the Spartans were
outscored 86-27, despite needing just one win
to secure a bowl.
The hiring of Terry Malley as the quarterbacks
coach should be a great addition to this team,
which was one of the worst in the country on
offense. Malley, who will call the plays, looks
to revive an offense that scored just 23
offensive touchdowns.
The Spartans lose key defensive players in
corner Coye Francies and defensive tackle
Jarron Gilbert, but the Ihenacho brothers (Duke
and Carl) are back and should be totally
healthy. The defense was the strong suit of the
team and ranked second in the conference in
almost every defensive category
