🔼 Aloha! Spartan football is headed back to Hawai’i! They accepted an invitation to the Hawai’i Bowl presented by Habbas Law and CEFCU for the second-straight year. They’ll play South Florida on December 24 at 5 p.m. on ESPN. The bowl game will be held at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex at Hawai’i Mānoa. This will be the only nationally televised college football game on Christmas Eve. This is the first time in program history that the Spartans have gone to three-straight bowl games.
🔼 Double-Digits. Spartan football hauled in 11 All-Mountain West football honors! This is the fifth-straight year with double-digit conference selections for the Spartans.
First Team: Nick Nash, Soane Toia, & Jordan Pollard
Second Team: Justin Lockhart, DJ Harvey, & Robert Rahimi
Honorable Mention: Gafa Faga, Taniela Latu, Isiah Revis, Marist Talavou, & John Ward
🔼 Crown Him. Spartan wide receiver and Biletnikoff Finalist Nick Nash became the fourth player to earn the FBS receiving college football triple crown in the regular season! He led the country in receptions (104), yards (1,382), and touchdowns (16). This is an amazing feat, but even more impressive when you consider that he has only been a true wide receiver for 26 games.
🔼 Home, Sweet Home. The women’s basketball team is back home after a trip to Puerto Rico for the Puerto Rico Clásico. They’ll host Saint Mary’s tonight at 6 p.m. The Spartans are coming off a close win over UMass Lowell. Click here to purchase tickets!
🔼 Eyes On Five. Quarterback Walker Eget picked up two national honors this week! He was named to the Manning Award Stars of the Week and the Davey O’Brien Award Great 8 lists. He threw for a career-high four touchdowns with 33 completions and 385 yards against Stanford. The Spartan offense is averaging 325.3 passing yards per game, leading the Mountain West and is fifth in the country.
🔼 Mountain West Matchup. The men’s basketball team is on the road for their first Mountain West matchup of the season! They’ll play at New Mexico tonight at 6 p.m. on the Mountain West Network. The Spartans head to Albuquerque on a three-game winning streak after sweeping the Ball Dawgs Classic. The Lobos are coming off of a win over USC.
