The Spartans opened training camp exactly one month before their season opener at Pac-12 powerhouse USC.
SAN JOSE — As San Jose State kicked off its first practice of training camp ahead of the 2023 season, there’s a persistent feeling that this year’s team may be coach Brent Brennan’s best yet.
That game is the first of a brutal six-game opening stretch, facing four teams that won double digit games last year and a fifth who won nine. Mountain West play kicks off on a short week with a Friday, Sept. 22 game hosting Air Force, which runs the unique triple option offense and won 10 games last year. The Spartans will get a bye after that, but coming off the week of rest is a trip to Boise State, the preseason favorites to win the conference after a 10-win campaign last year.
And when they have their first two home games, on Nov. 11 against rival Fresno State, who won 10 games and the Mountain West title last year, and San Diego State the week after, they may need to win both games in order to reach bowl eligibility. For 2023, Cooks is gone after signing as an undrafted free agent with the Jaguars, but Cordeiro, Lockhart and the entire starting offensive line returns.
“I think you just feel better about the fact that those guys have played a year, have a little more experience, have had another year in the weight room, have acclimated to the scheme and our program and culture,” Brennan said.
