The Wiz of Odds

San Jose State

San Jose State closed 2014 with six consecutive losses. Of particular concern was the offense, which scored only 14 points over the final 12 quarters. Coach Ron Caragher brought in Al Borges, late of Michigan, as offensive coordinator. If Borges can work his magic, the Spartans could find themselves playing in the postseason.

San Jose State Drops Colorado State, 34-27

Wiz correspondent Greg Laughlin spent Week 7 in the beautiful state of Colorado. On Saturday, Laughlin took in the San Jose State-Colorado State game in Fort Collins, two days after watching San Diego State-Air Force.

Saturday's game was all about Spartans' quarterback David Fales, who passed for 431 yards in a 34-27 victory. The Rams were playing in front of 26,022, the largest crowd at Hughes Stadium in two years.

Minnesota, San Jose State Exchange Cheap Shots

Seldom if ever do you see a kicker get the boot, but that is what happened in Saturday's game between San Jose State and Minnesota at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

The Spartans' Harrison Waid attempts an onside kick late in the contest and, after the ball is recovered, is flattened by the Golden Gophers' Derrick Wells. Ward gets up and goes after Wells and a scrum ensues. The officiating crew huddles and decides to eject Waid.

San Jose State

San Jose State is coming off the best season in program history. The Spartans finished 11-2 and were ranked No. 21 in the final Associated Press and coaches polls. The team was No. 24 in the final Bowl Championship Series rankings.

The breakout season made Mike MacIntyre a hot coaching property and he was snapped up by Colorado before San Jose State's Military Bowl victory against Bowling Green. Ron Caragher was named Spartan coach and there's plenty of talent left to make for a smooth transition into the Mountain West.

Thanks to Michael.

San Jose State

San Jose State is positioned to be playing in a bowl game in 2012, which is remarkable considering that the team is only two seasons removed from a 12-loss campaign. The Spartans won five games last season in coach Mike MacIntyre's second season, but three of the losses were by three points or less.
