2009 San Jose State Football Schedule

Spartan fans have for some time known the San Jose State out-of-conference football schedule. On Tuesday the WAC released the full 2009 conference schedule to schools, and today it was officially announced by the SJSU Athletic Department. SJSU has one scheduled televised game on Sunday, Nov. 8 against Nevada at Spartan Stadium.

The San Jose State football program did not shy way from competition when scheduling the upcoming football season. It's long been known that the Spartans open their 2009 campaign on the road Sept. 5 against perennial national powerhouse USC. Things don't get any easier as the Spartans return home the following week to host last years BCS No. 2 Utah.

On Nov. 8 SJSU hosts Nevada. Note that this is a Sunday contest and will be televised on ESPN. The following week sees the Spartans travel to Logan for a match up against Utah State.
