"SJSU Storylines: The Spartans are still searching for their first win against an FBS team in 2025 as their only win of the season so far came against the FCS school Idaho. Kicker Mathias Brown takes over field goal duties from Denis Lynch, who missed six of his first 10 attempts. Brown, in his second season, has never attempted a field goal in his collegiate career. Running back Jabari Bates has been ruled out for the season after suffering a lower body injury against Stanford."
"New Mexico Storylines: After being picked to finish eleventh in the Mountain West in the preseason media poll, New Mexico has gotten off to a 3-1 start under head coach Jason Eck in his first year with the program. His previous head coaching gig was at Idaho from 2022-24. New Mexico's only loss of the season is to then ranked No.14 Michigan. Lobos quarterback Jack Layne played under Eck the previous three seasons at Idaho."
"Stats That Matter: SJSU wide receiver Danny Scudero is leading FBS in receiving yards per game with 128.5. SJSU put up 524 total yards of offense against Stanford, which is the most yards SJSU has put up in a game since Oct. 14, 2023 where SJSU had 531 yards of offense against New Mexico. SJSU's 296.8 passing yards per game is the 2nd most in the Mountain West. SJSU quarterback Walker Eget is coming off a career high 473 passing yards."
San Jose State (1-3, 0-0 MW) hosts New Mexico (3-1, 0-0 MW) tonight at 7 p.m. on FS1 with radio coverage on 860 AM KTRB. SJSU leads the all-time series 15-5-1 and is 8-2-1 at home versus New Mexico. The Spartans seek their first FBS win of 2025, coping with season-ending injury to leading rusher Jabari Bates and the absence of starting safety Jalen Apalit-Williams; kicker Mathias Brown assumes field-goal duties. New Mexico, 3-1 under first-year head coach Jason Eck, features quarterback Jack Layne and its only loss came to No.14 Michigan. SJSU's passing offense and Danny Scudero's receiving production stand out.
