San Jose State, Fresno State meet for 79th time in football rivalry

SAN JOSE -- Coach Ron Caragher has reached a crossroads in his San Jose State tenure just one month into the 2015 season.

It's too early to call the 79th edition of the Fresno State rivalry game Saturday night a make-or-break situation for the third-year coach. But San Jose State (1-2, 0-1 Mountain West) faces the prospect of starting the season 1-4 if it loses at Spartan Stadium, considering the team travels to heavily favored Auburn next.A defeat also would all but end its chances of winning the conference's West division and perhaps sabotage the program's goal of rebounding from last year's 3-9 record.
