Colorado Springs, Colo.----- For the second time in three weeks, two San Jose State University players received Mountain West football ""Player of the Week" honors.
Quarterback Josh Love was named the Mountain West "Offensive Player of the Week" for the second time this season and kicker Matt Mercurio was named the Mountain West "Special Teams Player of the Week."
Love, a senior, completed 24-of-36 passes without an interception for a season-high 405 yards and two touchdowns in the Spartans' 32-21 conference win over New Mexico on October 4. The Spartan signal caller received the same Mountain West honor after San Jose State defeated Arkansas, 31-24, on September 21.
Mercurio, a freshman, tied a San Jose State single game school record kicking four field goals in five attempts and converted two extra point tries in the win. He accounted for the team's last 13 points with a PAT and field goals of 24, 33, a career-long 49, and a second 24-yard field goal.
