San Jose State on Saturday

Who: San Jose State (3-2, 1-1 MWC) at Nevada (3-2, 0-1) When: 1 p.m. Where: Mackay Stadium, Reno Radio: 910

Story line: In their sixth game, the Spartans have a chance for their fourth win; they haven’t had four wins in a season since 2016. San Jose State has gone win-loss-win-loss-win this year and last week beat New Mexico 32-11. The Spartans are averaging nearly 33 points per game in their three wins and 20 in their two losses. Nevada had a bye last week, much needed after a 54-3 throttling at the hands of Hawaii in its Mountain West opener Sept. 28.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

⏩ San Jose State quarterback Josh Love was named MWC Playthird er of the Week for the second time this season, after he threw for a season-high 405 yards and two touchdowns against New Mexico.

⏩ Malik Henry — a former Florida State commit who played at Independence CC (Kansas) last season — will start at quarterback for Nevada, the Wolf Pack’s starting QB this season. Elijah Cooks (23 catches, 260 yards, 4 TDs) and Kaleb Fossum (20/ 195/0) are Nevada’s top receivers.
