San Jose State coach Mike MacIntyre didn't mean to be disrespectful to Boise State when on Monday's teleconference he said his team was a "J.V. football team" during the 48-0 shellacking at the hands of the Broncos. He was simply pointing out how depleted his team was starting to look.The Spartans have lost 12 starters -- 15 players total -- to season-ending injuries. MacIntyre started seven true freshmen and doesn't even have 50 scholarship players to put on the field.
"I have never seen anything like this in my life and I hope I never see anything like it again," MacIntyre said. "We are really, really thin. It's tough to compete."
The Spartans lost starting tailback Lamon Muldrow to a torn ACL against Boise State. Reserve linebacker Ryno Gonzalez (knee) and offensive tackle John Konye (neck) also were injured. Throughout the season, San Jose State has lost All-WAC first-team safety Duke Ihenacho (foot), starting linebacker Pompey Festejo (foot), starting center Robbie Reid (knee), starting tight end Ryan Otten (toe), starting LB Kyler O'Neal (knee), and starting DE Mohamed Marah (shoulder). Starting quarterback Jordan La Secla has been playing with bruised ribs.
