San Jose State Spartans

New Mexico Lobos

After last week's tough 47-34 loss to Oregon State to open the season, many pundits predicted that the Spartans would show up in Albuquerque hungry for a win, but it was the Lobos who appeared to want the game more as evident by the 48-17 thrashing of San Jose State.

Senior QB Cole Gautsche of New Mexico had quite a day against the Spartan defense but not how you would expect. It was the legs of Gautsche that San Jose State struggled to stop as the QB accounted for 207 yards on the ground and 2 TDs to lead the Lobos. He also threw for 177 yards and a TD. Senior QB Joe Gray ended up leaving the game early in the 2nd quarter and never returned only accounting for 33 yards through the air and 22 on the ground. Back-up Jason Habash was unable to lead the Spartans back, throwing for 193 yards and a TD but also 2 picks. Gray is expected to play in San Jose State's home-opener vs Colorado State which will take place in two weeks following a bye week.

Head coach Zach Fanko did admit losing Gray was a huge blow to the offense but seemed more troubled by his defense.

"Yeah it hurt for sure losing Joe in the 2nd quarter but I'm not sure it would have mattered much the way we played on defense," said Fanko. "When you give up over 200 yards rushing, especially to the opposing team's QB, you're not doing a great job defensively. So we have a lot to work on these next couple weeks, thankfully we have a bye this week and hopefully we will be ready for Colorado State."
