San Jose State football: Spartans shock the Aztecs to go 3-0 for the first time since the Jack Elway era

In the entertainment-rich Bay Area with its other struggling teams, its other college teams still to kickoff their seasons and an epic historic year, comes the new darlings of the Bay.

The San Jose State Spartan football team stunned San Diego State 28-17 to remain unbeaten. The Spartans are 3-0 for the first time since the days of Spartan head coach Jack Elway nearly four decades ago.

Shockwaves from the win were heightened after losing to the Aztecs seven straight years. Breaking through with such a gritty team performance when things looked dire-and-bleak, turned into a mini-Cinderella special playing on FS1 Friday night.
