SAN JOSE–Offensive struggles and turnovers haunt San Jose State (2-2, 0-0 MW) in a 26-10 defeat to Fresno State on Saturday night.

Down 16-10 late in the fourth quarter, the Spartans had multiple chances to take the lead. They would throw every chance away, with quarterback Luke Weaver getting intercepted on back-to-back drives and having four on the night. Fresno State would capitalize and score ten unanswered points. 

“It’s just bad decisions by me,” Weaver said. “Bad football, a couple of careless decisions also, just leaving the ball so other guys can get it. I got to make it so my guys can make plays on the ball and I didn’t do that tonight.”

It was a defensive dogfight opening up the game, with both defenses holding down the ground in the first half, having a combined nine punts.

Down 6-3 coming out of halftime, the Spartans couldn’t have come out to a worse start to open the second half. They went three and out, allowed a 68-yard punt return by wide receiver Jordan Malau’ulu that was eventually capped off on a 18-yard touchdown by wide receiver Josiah Freeman.

Freeman stepped up when the Bulldogs needed it, capping his night off with 6 catches, 91 yards and a touchdown, including multiple third down receptions that helped keep the Bulldogs extend drives.

Trailing by ten in the fourth quarter, SJSU’s offense was finally able to move the ball down the field. A 15 play, 92-yard drive was capped off on a fourth and goal, as Weaver rolled to the right to find an open wide receiver Carson Clark for a touchdown.

Outside of that drive it was a rough night for the offense overall for SJSU, failing to create many opportunities to put points on the board.  

When they had opportunities, it would result in zero points. Running back Jabari Bates had broken free for a 66-yard touchdown but was called back from penalty. Penalties and mental errors have been a problem the past few weeks for SJSU, and it continued tonight, having seven of them.

Defensively, it was a strong effort from the Spartans. They continued with their momentum from the past few weeks and kept the game from slipping away.

“To the credit of our defense, we were still in that game which is crazy,” SJSU head coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “When you got that many turnovers and penalties and we’re still in the game was a testament to the defense.”

Wide receiver Anthony Ivey stepped up for what was a struggling night for the passing game. He headlined SJSU’s offense, with 7 catches for 150 yards. Prior to this game, he only had two receptions all season.

What has been an efficient season for the rushing attack, the Spartans weren’t able to exploit their run game as much. It was the first time of the season where they failed to eclipse 100 yards on the ground and averaged 2.8 yards per run.

It’s now the third consecutive year where SJSU fails to beat its rivals for the Valley Trophy and Niumatalolo is now 0-3 against Fresno State.

SJSU now sits at 2-2 approaching its bye week and conference play. They’re not in a bad position compared to last season, but the offensive miscues continue to pile up and Niumatalolo will have a handful of things to clean up ahead of its next game.

“We have to get this sour taste out of our mouths,” Niumatalolo said. “We got to look at the film, we see it in real times that we’ve got to fix.”

Conference play will begin for SJSU, as they take on the University of Hawaii at 9 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.

San Jose Spartans report: Spartans host Bulldogs in “Battle of the Valley” in week 2 of the NCAA season at Spartan Stadium Saturday

SAN JOSE–Another chapter of “The Battle of the Valley” between San Jose State (2-1, 0-0 MW) and Fresno State (1-1, 0-0 MW) begins on Saturday, but there are some new changes in a lengthy rivalry.

With the conference shift from the Mountain West to the PAC-12 for the Bulldogs, this marks the first time both teams will face off in a nonconference matchup since 1994 and the earliest matchup in a season since that same year.

Both teams come out of Week 1 with wins in their home openers, with Fresno State’s dismantling of Sacramento State, 49-3, and SJSU holding onto a 30-20 win over Cal Poly.

A matchup so early into the season brings a lot of questions and uncertainty surrounding both teams. Both offenses have had their fair share of bright spots and weaknesses.

The first quarter of this matchup will be crucial for both teams, as neither team has scored in the first quarter this season. Getting off to a good start early can be a potential deciding factor in who comes out on top.

“You always want to get off to a fast start,” SJSU head coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “So we’re doing all we can, I’m sure they [Fresno State] are too. Nobody wants to start scoreless.”

The Spartans will need to play more disciplined football and avoid making as many mental mistakes as they committed in their previous two matchups. While starting on a better note than last season, the product isn’t close to perfection, and Niumatalolo has emphasized that this week.

“Obviously, winning is big for our school and our friends but if we don’t play well, it doesn’t matter,” Niumatalolo said. “So the big thing is just preparing so we can play well and execute.”

The line of scrimmage battle is another key factor to keep an eye on. SJSU’s offense has opened up its rushing attack at a level that hasn’t been seen often under offensive coordinator Craig Stutzmann’s system. In all three games, they have eclipsed 100 yards rushing, putting less weight on senior quarterback Luke Weaver’s shoulders.

One of the Bulldogs’ biggest strengths comes on their defensive line and their “front seven,” with nickelback Simeon Harris being named to the Jim Thorpe watch list heading into this season. Running back Jabari Bates has had a career year early on, but this is the biggest task he and this offense have faced since USC.

In what could be a tight game or a game where the Spartans might have to play behind, Weaver is going to need to lead his offense to a consistent, turnover-free game in order to go 3-1 heading into their bye week.

Balanced Offense Propels Spartans to Win Over Mustangs 

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

San Jose State Spartans running back Jabari Bates answers questions from the media postgame, with a 163-yard rushing performance against the Cal Poly Mustangs on September 12.

By Sean Mentzer

SAN JOSE–On the opening possession, Spartans quarterback Luke Weaver fumbled trying to navigate out of the pocket on third down, giving the Mustangs the ball on the Spartans’ 32-yard line. However, the Spartans answered back, forcing the Mustangs into a turnover with an interception by sophomore Greco Carillo in the end zone. 

The Spartans’ closest attempt to scoring was a 42-yard field goal that missed wide right by Trajan Sinatra.

A scoreless first quarter saw both teams try to establish their run game, but they produced little, with 39 rushing yards combined. 

The Mustangs broke the scoreless tie with a touchdown from Fidel Pitts. The Mustangs missed the PAT on the same side of the field Sinatra missed his 49-yard attempt. 

The Spartans answered back immediately. The passing game jolted the offense to life as the second quarter began. A 39-yard pass to Jordan Anderson set the offense up in the red zone, where a touchdown pass to Carson Clark gave the Spartans the lead.

The second quarter ended with two more field goals from Sinatra, extending the Spartans’ lead to seven.

The Mustangs wasted no time scoring to open up the second half. A quick two-minute drive was capped off by a Jaden Green touchdown to tie the game.

Halfway through the third quarter, Anthony Ivey returned a punt to the Mustangs ‘ 49-yard line, and the Spartans offense got right back to work. Jabari Bates’ running helped set up a touchdown to Cooper Hoch, giving the Spartans the lead back. 

A run-heavy drive by the Mustangs tied the game 20-20 at the start of the fourth quarter. The ensuing kickoff return by Dominique McKenzie placed the offense at the Mustangs’ 44-yard line, but only mustered a field goal, giving San Jose State a three-point advantage. 

As the Mustangs built up a persistent drive looking to take the lead, a jump ball thrown to the end zone was intercepted by Caleb Womack. 

“It was just a great overall call by our coordinator [Bojay Filimoeatu], got me to drop back to the deep half,” Womack said. “We had the D-line just pressuring the quarterback, made him just throw the ball up, and at that point, got back to the receiver days and had to go up and get the ball.”

Bates’ tough running didn’t slow down, bringing the Spartans to midfield where Weaver threw a 41-yard pass to Clark for his second touchdown of the game. 

“He just keeps his head down and goes,” quarterback Luke Weaver said about Bates. “He doesn’t complain about anything, he doesn’t sub himself out, and that’s really a testament to him.”

“Well, he’s one of our best players,” Spartans Head Coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “And people get confused by his size; watch him in the weight room. He’s one of the strongest guys on the team pound for pound.”

The Spartans’ defense did a strong job containing Mustangs’ dual-threat quarterback Anthony Grigsby Jr., who entered tonight’s game with 96 rushing yards on the season, getting four sacks and seven tackles for loss. 

The Spartans’ passing game fueled the offense all night, even when the running game came alive in the second half. Bates finished the night with 27 carries for 163 rushing yards. Maintaining that offensive balance will remain key for the Spartans when they host Fresno State on September 19.

San Jose, Calif.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — San Jose State ended its eight game losing streak in emphatic fashion Tuesday night, knocking off the Nevada Wolfpack 87-71 at Provident Credit Union Event Center.

The Spartans (7-19, 2-13 Mountain West), who had not beaten the Wolf Pack since January 2020, delivered one of their most complete performances of the season despite being without four starters. Jermaine Washington Jr., Yaphet Moundhi, Javaughn Hannah and Ben Roseborough all remained sidelined due to injury.

San Jose State entered the night short handed and near the bottom of the Mountain West standings, while Nevada (17-9, 9-6) came in fourth in the conference and heavily favored. The Wolf Pack defeated the Spartans 87-54 in their previous meeting.

The Spartans wasted little time setting the tone.

San Jose State opened the game on an 11-3 run, fueled by back-to-back 3-pointers from Nganga. The Spartans hit their first five attempts from beyond the arc and built a heavy lead, forcing Nevada to burn an early timeout.

Adrian Meyers paced the offense early, scoring 11 points in less than seven minutes, with most of his production coming from long range. Nevada struggled to find rhythm offensively, shooting 33% midway through the first half.

San Jose State did not attempt its first free throws until the final three minutes of the half, underscoring its efficiency from the field. The Spartans carried a 47-32 lead into halftime, shooting 52% from the field and 52% from 3-point range while dishing out 12 assists and grabbing 18 rebounds.

Nevada shot 41% in the first half and just 20% from beyond the arc, while also getting out rebounded by the smaller Spartans.

The Wolf Pack responded with urgency in the second half.

Nevada increased its physicality inside and began attacking the rim, earning frequent trips to the free throw line. Five minutes into the half, the Wolf Pack had attempted 18 free throws, converting 15, compared with just four attempts for San Jose State.

The surge cut the Spartans’ lead from 15 to six, as Nevada’s halftime adjustments and San Jose State’s foul trouble shifted momentum.

But the Spartans answered.

Colby Garland drilled a 3 pointer to push the lead back to double digits, and Pasha Goodzari followed with another from deep. San Jose State extended its advantage to 13 with 8:55 remaining and maintained control the rest of the way.

The Spartans finished 30 of 58 (52%) from the field and 15 of 29 (52%) from 3 point range. Nevada shot 22 of 55 (40%) overall and just 3 of 20 (15%) from long distance.

Nevada held a significant edge at the free throw line, going 24 of 32 (75%), while San Jose State finished 12 of 19 (63%).

The Spartans outrebounded the Wolf Pack 38-32 and recorded 18 assists. Both teams committed 15 turnovers.

San Jose State’s largest lead was 18 points. Nevada never led.

For a team battered by injuries and a difficult season, the victory marked a much needed bright spot as the regular season winds down.

San Jose — UNLV pulled away late to defeat shorthanded San Jose State 76-62 on Saturday afternoon, capitalizing on its depth and timely scoring runs to secure a Mountain West victory.

The Spartans dressed just seven players and were without leading scorer Colby Garland, who remains sidelined with a concussion. San Jose State also missed Ben Roseborough, Javaughn Hannah, Yaphet Moundhi and Jermaine Washington, leaving the Spartans thin against a UNLV team that entered the game favored.

Despite the limitations, San Jose State (6-12, 1-6 Mountain West) showed early resilience, trading baskets with the Rebels before UNLV began to find rhythm offensively. A Rebel run midway through the first half pushed the lead to eight, but the Spartans responded with a 9-1 surge to tie the game at 14.

San Jose State relied heavily on its interior offense in the opening half, drawing fouls and converting at the free throw line as perimeter shots failed to fall consistently. The Spartans briefly regained the lead at 20-19 with 8:23 remaining, but UNLV answered with a decisive 16-5 run to seize control.

Adrian Myers provided a spark late in the half, knocking down a 3-pointer and converting a pair of free throws to pull the Spartans within four. UNLV closed the half on another run and took a 40-31 lead into the locker room.

The Rebels opened the second half with efficient shooting, extending their advantage, but San Jose State adjusted offensively and found success from beyond the arc. A strong stretch of perimeter shooting cut the deficit to three and briefly swung momentum.

As the half progressed, the Spartans balanced inside scoring with perimeter looks, but UNLV maintained a cushion for much of the second half. Each San Jose State push was met with a response from the Rebels, who repeatedly halted comeback attempts.

Fatigue eventually set in for the undermanned Spartans, and UNLV pulled away in the closing minutes to secure the 76-62 win.

UNLV improved to 9-8 overall and 4-2 in conference play, while San Jose State fell to 6-12 overall and 1-6 in Mountain West action.

San Jose, Calif–The Spartans (5-7) entered the contest looking to snap a two game losing streak after falling at New Mexico, 88-65, and at home against Stanford, 86-82. San Jose State came in 4-2 on its home floor but winless against teams at .500 or better this season. The Aztecs, now 7-4, were playing their second conference game after opening Mountain West play with a loss to New Mexico.

San Jose State now 5-8 was without Javaughn Hannah, Ben Roseborough and Sadraque Nganga, further testing the Spartans’ depth against a physical Aztecs squad now 8-4 after defeating the Spartans 81-68 at Provident Credit Union on Tuesday night.

Turnovers plagued the Spartans early, allowing San Diego State to capitalize in transition. The Aztecs’ fastbreak offense helped build a double digit lead less than 10 minutes into the game.

San Jose State responded with a strong run midway through the first half, cutting what had been a sizable deficit down to a one possession game in a five minute span. The teams traded baskets down the stretch, though foul trouble emerged as a new concern for the Spartans. San Diego State went 9 of 14 from the free throw line in the opening half.

San Jose State forward Yaphet Moundhi left the game with just under three minutes remaining in the first half and did not return before the break. The Aztecs took a 42-38 lead into halftime.

Moundhi returned to the bench to start the second half but did not re-enter the game. Jermaine Washington opened the half with a 3 pointer to trim the Aztecs’ lead to one, setting the tone for a competitive second period.

Behind a scoring surge from Colby Garland, the Spartans tied the game at 49 with 14:30 remaining and briefly took a 53-51 lead shortly after. The game remained tight for more than 10 minutes, with neither team able to create separation.

That changed when San Diego State went on a key late run, pushing its lead to eight and halting San Jose State’s comeback momentum. The Aztecs maintained control from there, closing out the win.

Garland led a strong second half effort for the Spartans after a quiet opening half. San Jose State also excelled at the free throw line, shooting 94 percent as a team.

Despite the loss, the Spartans showed resilience, limiting turnovers and fouls while executing within their system. The effort, however, was not enough to overcome San Diego State’s late surge.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Stanford Cardinal (8-2) invaded the South Bay campus of the San Jose Spartans (5-6) and handed them a 86-82 loss in the Santa Clara County Clash.

The Cardinal wasted no time jumping all over their regional neighbor.  They lad by as many as 14 points in the first half, with the assistance of a 6-0 run.  This was accomplished without the services of their freshman sensation, Ebuka Okorie.

Okorie was held out of the game with a reported lower body injury.  The team’s leading scorer (21) and assists (3.1) guy was apparently not needed for the dispatching of the Spartans. Stanford controlled the first 20 minutes of the game, never trailing or tied.

At recess, the visitors from Palo Alto led by eight points, 44-36.  Two of their players reached double-figures.  Senior forward Chisom Okpara led with 13 points, senor guard Jeremy Dent-Smith added 11 points to the Cardinal total.

The Spartans only presented one player to reach the aforementioned plateau.  Senior forward Yaphet Moundi led his squad with 10 points.

In the second half, Stanford increased their single-digit halftime advantage to a high of 14 points, although SJSU did cut the deficit to four points midway through the second stanza..

The Cardinal immediately went on a 7-0 run over 1:29 span, putting them back up by 11.  The lead did reach 14 points, as it did in the first half.

The Spartan did try to utilize their swords and shield to knock over the mighty Tree, but the Cardinal seemed to have an answer for every SJSU run.  They cut it to two a couple of times, but Stanford had the every time..

The crucial sequence was a turnover by SJSU with 7 seconds left in regulation.  Gealer was fouled with 3-6 seconds left.  His clutch free throws sealed the game, and gave the Cardinal a four point victory, 86-82.

Okpara and AJ Rohosy both led the Cardinal with 20 points each, while Den-Smith added 16 and Agarwal chipped in 11.  SJSU was led by Moundi’s 26 points and 5 rebounds, and Colby Garland 20 points 9 assists, , in addition to Adrian Myers contributing 14 points.

The Cardinal will next be in action Wednesday, December 17, as they host UT-Arlington at 7 PM PT on ACCNX.  The Spartans travel to the Southwest to take on New Mexico Saturday, December 20, at 6 PM PT on MWN.

San Jose State Falters Late to UC Irvine 72-63

SAN JOSE, Calif. — UC Irvine held off San Jose State 72-63 on Saturday afternoon at Provident Credit Union Event Center, pulling away midway through the second half after a tight, back and forth matchup for most of the game.

The meeting marked the first of a four-game homestand for the Spartans (3-5), who entered the day coming off a win over Loyola Chicago. The Anteaters (5-4) arrived with slight favorability at a 53% win probability, per ESPN — and validated it behind strong transition play and a dominant performance from guard Derin Saran.

San Jose State remained without key contributor Javaughn Hannah, but early on, the game lived up to expectations of being closely contested. Sadraque Nganga opened the scoring with a free throw, but the Spartans didn’t make their first field goal until nearly three minutes in, when Jermaine Washington slammed home a fast break dunk. The Spartans struggles from the field continued the entirety of the game.

Despite shooting just 28% from the field in the first half, the Spartans kept the deficit manageable. UC Irvine built leads of six and later nine, but San Jose State repeatedly clawed back, including a tip in at the buzzer to trim the halftime score to 36-34. Nganga led SJSU with 10 points at the break, while Saran paced UCI with 12.

Washington tied the game at 36 to open the second half, but once again the Anteaters responded with a run. A three from Adrian Myers in his return off the bench briefly halted the momentum, yet UC Irvine continued to generate separation.

The Spartans’ offensive struggles worsened as the half progressed. UC Irvine’s lead swelled to 11 with just over 10 minutes remaining, capitalizing on SJSU turnovers, defensive lapses and transition miscues. San Jose State made one final push, trimming the deficit to five after a sequence of scores from Yaphet Moundi and Ben Roseborough, but Saran responded with a three pointer and a layup on consecutive possessions to restore a double digit lead.

A late three from UCI’s Justin Dixon extended the margin to 69-58 with 4:24 left, effectively sealing the game. The Anteaters held control from there.

“The physicality,” Roseborough told Sports Radio Service when asked about the cause of second half collapse. “They hit first, you got to hit first. Loose balls, everything like that, you got to get to it. They played way harder than us tonight.”

Head coach Tim Miles echoed that assessment.

“Credit Irvine — they ran the floor well. They did all the things that winning teams do. … Ultimately, I didn’t think we were great in transition defense and I didn’t think we converted well on the offensive side, especially in the interior.”

San Jose State shot just 31% from the field (22 of 70) compared with UC Irvine’s 49% (30 of 61). Despite winning the rebounding battle 43-41 — including 19 offensive boards — the Spartans were outscored 50-26 in the paint and 24-6 on fast breaks.

Roseborough led SJSU with 12 points. Saran finished with a game-high 24 for the Anteaters.

The loss marks San Jose State’s first home setback of the season. The Spartans continue their homestand later this week as they look to regroup and find their footing before conference play.

San Jose State Basketball dominates Bethesda in their home opener 110-56

San Jose, Calif–The Spartans (1-3) buried the Flames (0-4) under a relentless first half surge, turning an early 9-8 deficit into a 15-0 run that broke the game open and came away with a 110-56 victory at Provident Credit Union Arena. San Jose State led 54-24 at the break and never let up in a wire to wire blowout.

SJSU guard Colby Garland scored a team high 17 points, and Roseborough added 12, all in the first half to pace the Spartans’ balanced offense. Camron Durr led Bethesda with 11 points.

San Jose State dominated nearly every statistical category. The Spartans shot 65% from the field (43 of 66) and 52% from 3 point range (12 of 23), while holding Bethesda to 30% shooting overall. SJSU outrebounded the Flames 55-18 and outscored them 60-18 in the paint.

The only brief scare for SJSU came early in the second half, when Garland went down awkwardly after a collision under the basket. He returned quickly and said afterward the issue wasn’t serious.

“Oh I’m actually feeling pretty good,” Garland told Sports Radio Service. “…I injured this ankle early in preseason, so it’s been lingering. It tightened up a bit, but I went to the back, got a few massages and went right back out there. I feel good.”

San Jose State opened the game hitting shots at a high clip but struggled with turnovers early. Once the Spartans cleaned up their possessions, the offense exploded behind strong ball movement and physical interior play. Bethesda briefly slowed the run with a 3 pointer midway through the half, but the Spartans controlled the rest of the night.

SJSU’s starters combined for 64 points, including strong showings from Jermaine Washington and Yaphet Moundi, who opened the second half with a 3 pointer to extend the margin.

With the win, SJSU is now 1-3, while Bethesda falls to 0-4.

San Jose State returns to action later this week looking to build on its first victory of the season.
