And that’s a wrap on the 2025 SJSU season. It was very much an up and down year for the Spartans, but a joy to cover the team nonetheless #SJSU #cfb

The decisions made by this coaching staff continue to confuse me
Sources: San Jose State will start freshman Daniel Rolovich this week against Northern Illinois this week. It will be Rolovich's third start of the season. He'd been "banged up" and missed the start against New Mexico last week. He's 1-1 as a starter this season.

After watching this interview, Jeff’s passion for the program at SJSU & its success is clear. I think it’s important to note Jeff stated his desire to impact the team and program in any way possible (GM, Assistant Coach, Advisor) but he feels being the Head Coach is where his talents would be best served. Personally, I’ve wondered for a while now why Jeff Garcia hasn’t been a more involved piece in the athletics department, and football program more specifically. However I have my doubts about whether this public push by Garcia to be more involved in the program will actually amount to anything come the offseason. SJSU will have to lose some more games before any of this gets seriously considered by Konya and his staff. Great interview @park30news 👏

Hawaii native SJSU tight end Kamaehu Kopa-Kaawalauole scored the game's first touchdown in his homecoming game against the Rainbow Warriors. He told me this week's game was a moment he dreamed of. “I remember when I was a little kid, I was always watching Hawaii football. It was always my dream to play in that stadium.”

Caleb Womack read that interception the whole way, what an incredible play to stifle a driving Cal Poly team #SJSU

It kind of amazes me how much tackling continues to be an issue for this team #SJSU

While the loss was expected, I really liked what the offense showed in the second-half, I’m super encouraged with what’s to come from them. What encouraged me the most was the defense, they appear to be more solid in the secondary, the tackling still needs work though. #SJSU

It’ll be interesting to see what Coach Stutzmann does with this offense to try and get the ball moving on this USC defense. Right now it looks like Luke Weaver just doesn’t have the time to push the ball down the field in typical SJSU fashion. #SJSU

It looks like it’s going to be a looong day for this SJSU defense, that first drive from Maiava and the USC offense looked easy. The first true test for this defense probably won’t come until WK2 #SJSU

Caught up with WR Cooper Hoch at #SJSU Spring Practice. Full interview of Cooper with @HB_SportsBeat below. Notable Quotes: “It’s kinda fun embracing that role, I like being able to teach because that tests my knowledge of the offense too…being able to talk to dudes about their splits, whether it’s depth, distance. That’s been fun for me and it’s helped me grow my game too.” - Hoch on embracing a leadership role in the WR room. “It’s a process, each day we’re getting a little bit better, but I love being around those guys and I can’t wait to see what we do together.” - Hoch on relationship with QB’s so far #Spartanup
