It’s a soggy Saturday afternoon in Spartan Stadium with a current temperature of 60 degrees for the 75th meeting between San Jose State and Fresno State.

Spartans head coach Mike MacIntyre will give Jordan La Secla the nod at quarterback ahead of former Bulldog Matt Faulkner. La Secla leads the team in passing with 954 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

After missing last week’s home Western Athletic Conference victory over New Mexico State, Phillip Thomas is suited up and likely to start at free safety.

Likewise, running back A.J. Ellis is back in uniform for head coach Pat Hill’s squad, taking handoffs in pre-game. Ellis has the Bulldogs’ best game on the ground this season after torching Utah State for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
