Spartans start fast again but fall flat as Broncos rally big

San Jose State (1-5, 0-2 MW) came into a sold-out Albertsons Stadium Saturday night and... shell-shocked Boise State (3-3, 2-0 MW) 27-14...in the first-half...before the Spartans fell off the proverbial cliff in the second-half in a 35-27 losing effort.

“I don’t have an answer to what happened to us in the second-half tonight,” said head coach Brent Brennan. “But we didn’t help ourselves not scoring any points in the second-half and not stopping them. It was heartbreaking and everyone’s hurting really bad.”

Trying to pin down where, how and why the wheels came off again in the second half is certainly difficult to corral for the layman’s eyes, because if Brennan can’t immediately see it, perhaps it’s more systemic.
