The weekly MWC team roundup

Here is the weekly roundup on each Mountain West Conference team.

From Jimmy Durkin:

What’s left to say about the Spartans as they embark on the final half of another terribly long year?

The players and coach Dave Wojcik still have positive attitudes — remarkably so, in fact — perhaps unburdened by the expectations of winning.

“I don’t want to be down,” Wojcik said. “If they see me down, then they’re down. I’m staying upbeat.”

Since putting a scare into Wyoming almost three weeks ago, something made possible in part by the Cowboys’ own style of play, San Jose State has lost its past four games by an average of 24 points.

“I think they’re playing their butts off,” Wojcik said. “They’re giving me everything they have and I know that. I just wish they would have some success. I feel for those guys because they are giving us everything.”

Wojcik hopes that will eventually translate into at least a win or two. That’s going to be tough this week though at Boise State, where Wojcik spent three years as an assistant before taking the job at SJSU.

“They’re going to want to kick (our) backsides, a little bit more because of me,” Wojcik said.
