Hey, hey hey, it's time to play! Football that is. And the Thunderbirds are in such a hurry to start their last Big Sky season that they are beating everyone out of the gate. One game on tap for this weekend involving the Big Sky with everyone else waiting until next weekend. Just a reminder, in listing these games, the Big Sky school will be in scoreboard abbreviation and any non-Big Sky team will be spelled out. Hence, "WSU" will be Weber State and any other "WSU" will be spelled out (Washington State). Here we go.
SUU at San Jose State (FBS Mountain West)---As stated, the Thunderbirds will get things rolling as they head out to the Bay Area to play the upstart Spartans. This game might have been a good one in years past, but the Spartans believe they have turned a corner after last season, and they might be right...San Jose State 38, SUU 14.

Re: Big Sky Predictions 8-28
While I agree that SJSU will win, SD, I might want to dispute the "with ease" part. I know I'm usually the first to bash SUU, but SJSU has a long history of playing down to their opponents. The Spartans will probably win, but it might just be closer than one might think....

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
