San Jose state is not a total laughing stock as they were in the not so distant past. I mean they did go into OT last year against OU’s new Savior of a QB when he was leading Washington St in the PAC 2. But yea Sparty of San Jose shouldn’t be too much of an issue. I think?
After yesterday I kind of wished we’d had played San Jose in game one and then Ohio State in game two much like we will next season when we open at home against Texas St and follow with the Buckeyes at home the following week. I understand the thinking about playing the fellow top tier team in game one to potentially make a statement out of the gate or see where you stack up. But on the other hand, the thinking about getting the rust out in a real game situation against an actual opponent is valid too. Unfortunately in the college ranks unlike high school, you don’t have the opportunity to scrimmage in August against someone else so that’s why I’ve always like reserving week two for that marque game.
