San Jose State opens against New Hampshire

SAN JOSE -- Coach Ron Caragher opens his crucial third season at San Jose State on Thursday night against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent.

But the Spartans don't expect an early season blowout against lower-level New Hampshire, which went 12-2 last year in reaching the FCS semifinals."When one looks at our schedule and says we have a challenging schedule, no question New Hampshire is included in that," said Caragher, who is 9-15 in two seasons.By now, college football fans know all about the Wildcats, the reigning Colonial Athletic Association champions. New Hampshire has the longest active streak for appearances in the FCS playoffs -- 11.
