  Coming into Saturday night, the last time San Jose State beat a power conference opponent was in 2006 when the Spartans beat Stanford - a team that finished 1-11 - by a single point. Cardinal coach Walt Harris, who was in his second season, was fired at its conclusion. Arkansas coach Chad Morris is in his second season, coming off a 2-10 year and Saturday's game between his Razorbacks and San Jose State was only briefly that close. DeJon Packer's 19-yard touchdown scamper with 1:13 left lifted three-touchdown underdog San Jose State past Arkansas on the road, 31-24. Third-year Spartans coach Brent Brennan's team went 1-11 last year and 2-11 the year before.

"It's been two really, really hard years," Brennan said. "To see (us) rise to the occasion, to stay together, to keep believing. We didn't fold. We actually bowed up. We made it hard on them." Packer's score was the game-winner, but San Jose State's (2-1) five interceptions of Arkansas quarterback Nick Starkel were the true catalyst. Two of Starkel's picks came after he and the Arkansas offense had marched into the red zone. But an overthrow was picked off by Jay Lenard at the 13 on the first drive after halftime and an errant pass was nabbed by Nehemi Shelton at the 1 on the next series. Those came when Arkansas (2-2) was already trailing, 24-7 "This performance is completely unacceptable," Morris said. "You get what you deserve in life. We didn't deserve to win this football game." - AP College Football

  09/14/19 - Nick StarkelrSr/2022, San Jose State, 6-4, 217 (DS#24 QB) + More +

  Arkansas quarterback Nick Starkel, in his first start in a Razorbacks uniform, led his team on two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, breaking a 34-all tie and sending Arkansas to a 55-34 win over Colorado State on Saturday. The Razorbacks (2-1) earned their first victory over an FBS opponent this season and only the second in coach Chad Morris' 15 games dating back to last year. Starkel, who transferred from Texas A&M in the offseason, was named quarterback Monday after entering and playing well in the second half of Arkansas' loss to Ole Miss last Saturday. He rewarded Morris' faith, going 20 for 35 for 305 yards with three touchdowns against the Rams.

Starkel completed three straight passes for 12, 17 and 20 yards on the go-ahead drive before Devwah Whaley's 5-yard touchdown run capped it for a 41-34 lead. He then threw a 62-yard touchdown to Cheyenne O'Grady on the ensuing series. Colorado State (1-2) rallied from a 14-point, first half deficit and tied it at 34 when back-up quarterback Patrick O'Brien scrambled and found Dante Wright for a 75-yard touchdown pass near the end of the third quarter. O'Brien entered for starter Collin Hill during the Rams' first drive of the second half when it appeared Hill, who has twice suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, tweaked his leg. Arkansas scored on its first five drives of the game, including two touchdown passes by Starkel. - AP College Football

  Nick Starkel spent his first week running practice reps with the Arkansas starters the same way he spent the previous weeks running practice reps with the second unit. For a player in his first year at a new school making his first start at quarterback, Starkel was cool about the change. He has to stay that way Saturday, too, if his Razorbacks have any hope of salvaging the season.

Arkansas (1-1) hosts Colorado State (1-1) in a game that features two teams predicted to finish near the bottom of their respective conferences. A loss for the Razorbacks, however, would make a far bigger ripple - especially after the Rams beat Arkansas a year ago in a stunner that helped ensure the first season for coach Chad Morris at Arkansas would be nothing worth remembering. Starkel shrugged off any notion of pressure. "Everyone in the QB room prepares as if they're the starter," Starkel said. "There's a guy running with the 1s and that's probably who is going to start. But it's really the same preparation for me." The nonchalance was par for the course for Arkansas players all week, but they remember last year's loss. - AP College Football

  Josh Love threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and San Jose State opened the season with a 35-18 victory over Northern Colorado on Thursday night. Love, in his third season as a starter, was 21-of-31 passing for 224 yards. He threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Jermaine Braddock in the first quarter and a 14-yarder to a leaping Derrick Deese Jr. in the left side of the end zone in the third quarter. Love's 3-yard dive up the middle gave the Spartans a 21-6 halftime lead. DeJon Packer opened the scoring with a 1-yard run.

Collin Root kicked three field goals, his final one cutting San Jose State's lead to 10 early in the fourth quarter. But Bobby Brown intercepted a Jacob Knipp pass and returned it 14 yards to the Bears 13 and Tyler Nevans covered the rest in two carries, including the 8-yard score. It was the first meeting between the programs. The Spartans are 16-2 against FCS teams. - AP College Football

  Arkansas Razorback fans, meet quarterback Nick Starkel. He's an outspoken, maybe even brash, social-media maven and unabashed Justin Bieber believer with a big arm and big ideas about where the University of Arkansas program is headed. The 6-4 graduate transfer arrived on campus in late May with two years to play, and he's got his sights on the starting quarterback job along with fellow transfer Ben Hicks. "Fall camp, I just see myself going out there Day 1 trying to set the tone," Starkel said. "This is what we're here to do. We're here to win games, and if you're not trying to do that, then get out of here."

Starkel strikes up intriguing possibilities for the Razorbacks. Coach Chad Morris said he's been impressed with Starkel's leadership and confidence level, and he's eagerly taken in the reports from teammates in offseason skills and drills work. "Listening to our players talk, he's been out on the field with them throwing," Morris said. "He demands a certain respect and commands leadership, and the ball definitely is electric when it comes out of his hands." - Northwest Arkansas Times

  2019 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LIST: Josh Love, San Jose State, Senior, QB,...Love, a senior from Mission Viejo, Calif., enters the season as San Jose State's #1-quarterback. The three-time Academic All-Mountain West award winner had his best season in 2018 completing 56.0 percent of his passes for 1,963 yards and 14 touchdowns. Among his 2019 summer community service activities, Love and seven teammates visited the Northern California Ronald McDonald House near the Stanford University campus and spent a mid-July afternoon with the siblings of patients receiving care at nearby the Lucille Packard Hospital. In June, the entire Spartan team participated in the YWCA Silicon Valley's annual Walk a Mile In Her Shoes event to raise awareness against domestic abuse and all forms of violence directed to women. Both activities were part of the San Jose State football team's Beyond Football initiative. - San Jose State Football
