San Jose State seeks end to 23-year road skid with freshman QB

San Jose State is seeking to end a 23-year road losing streak, with a freshman quarterback at the center of the team’s effort.

The road streak

The San Jose State football team has gone 23 years without ending a road game with a win. The streak gives the team a clear measure of what it is trying to change when it plays away from home.

A freshman quarterback

San Jose State will take on that challenge with a freshman quarterback. The quarterback’s presence adds a developing player to a game already defined by the program’s long road drought.

What the game represents

For San Jose State, the road game is an opportunity to address a streak that has lasted more than two decades. Ending it would bring the program a road result it has not had in 23 years.

The team’s next road outing will show whether San Jose State can change that part of its football record while relying on a freshman at quarterback.
