Tomorrow night the Spartans welcome the Aztecs to San Jose in a big Mountain West game for both teams.

Last week UNLV picked up a huge win against rival Nevada, which could provide an opening for San Jose State to sneak up on a Rebel team that may be susceptible to a let down game.

After throwing for five touchdowns and over 480 yards last Saturday David Fales was once again named the Mountain West Conference Player of the Week.

Injury Update: Noel Grigsby

Noel Grigsby, who has been out of action since early September, has a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to San Jose Mercury News reporter Jimmy Durkin. The report does note though that Grigsby may be able to return if the Spartans reach a bowl game. The official word previously from the school was that Grigsby was out “indefinitely” and various media outlets speculated that this could mean the entire season. If Grigsby does not return for a bowl game, his career as a player at San Jose State will likely be over due to him being a fifth year senior.

Player of the Week: David Fales

Last weekend David Fales had his best game of the year as San Jose State defeated Colorado State on the road 34-27. His efforts earned him the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week award.
