Overview

  • Kickoff is 2 p.m. Saturday at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, with television coverage on NBC Sports Bay Area.
  • Idaho enters 2-1 and ranked eighth in FCS, leaning on a veteran offensive line and QB Joshua Wood, who leads the team with 273 rushing yards and has completed 65.7% of his passes for 433 yards and four touchdowns.
  • The Vandals will be without starting tailback Elisha Cummings because of a knee injury, with Art Williams coming off a 144-yard game in relief.
  • San Jose State is 0-2 with seven turnovers through two games, and coaches have urged quarterback Walker Eget to simplify decisions after three interceptions and a lost fumble.
  • The Spartans’ defense has held opponents to 4-for-25 on third down, but special teams remain a concern with kicker Denis Lynch 0-for-4 on field goals.
