Following a 42-30 home loss to Colorado State, SJSU head coach Brent Brennan took time during his Monday press conference to address the Spartans’ defensive woes. “Despite the end result, I’m really proud of how our guys performed in that third quar- ter,” Brennan said. “I don’t care if you’re a San Jose State fan or a Colorado State fan, that quarter was some of the best GABRIEL MUNGARAY | SPARTAN DAILY football ever played, by both Spartans senior wide receiver Tre Hartley runs past two Colorado State defenders for a 55-yard touchdown during the game on Saturday. teams, and that’s the type of comeback energy that we will That number increased after nationally in tackling, scored become the 38th NCAA continue to apply to Army.” recent performances against a personal high of 10 tackles Division I football program The Spartans will face a Duke University and the versus Hawaii on September to have played all three mil- 3-2 Black Knight team led University of Oklahoma. 29th and was third on the itary service academy teams by head coach Jeff Monken.
