San Jose State football: Spartans vanquish the Rebels 34-17, remain undefeated

On a chilled Saturday night at CEFCU Stadium, the spirits of Spartan’s past raised a celebratory toast to the 34-17 shellacking of the UNLV Rebels. Why?

It was exactly 65 years and one month ago that San Jose State started 4-0, but that’s where the similarities have to stop. That 1955 Spartan team, led by the late Bob Bronzan, went 5-3 finishing second in their division.

This 2020 Brent Brennan team has been on a tough three-plus year mission to raise a new flag and make brand new marks. With the teams ahead of them and their bodies-of-work well-known, an undefeated season is within the realm of possibility now.
