Auburn is set to play its second tune-up game this Saturday against the San Jose Spartans in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn (1-0) is coming off a 42-16 win over the Mercer Bear where they were in complete control. The same can not be said of the Spartans (1-0), who narrowly beat out FCS opponent Portland State 21-17.
This will be the third matchup between the two programs and the first since 2015 but because of [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag]’s time in the Mountain West he and the Spartan’s head coach Brent Brennan and very familiar with each other.
Before the game starts at 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday here are five things to know about the Spartans.
