Back-to-back 40-point games: San Jose State scored 42 points in its November 2 home game vs. Boise State and 40 points in its November 9 road encounter at Hawai'i.

The first opponent points off a Spartan turnover came in the October 12 Nevada victory on an interception return for a touchdown.
Gaither sets school TD reception record: Wide receiver Bailey Gaither became the first San Jose State player in school history to catch a touchdown pass in six consecutive games with his 40-yard scoring reception in the Hawai'i game (11/9).
The previous record was five consecutive games with a touchdown catch. Current San Jose State graduate assistant and former wide receiver Chandler Jones was the first to do it in 2013.
Two-game streak with two 100-yard receivers: The November 2 Boise State game and the November 9 contest at Hawai'i each had two Spartans with 100-yard receiving games.

Packer does it three times: Running back DeJon Packer is the team's only player to score more than one touchdown in a game this season. He rushed for two touchdowns in the Nevada, Boise State and Hawai'i games. Packer's nine rushing touchdowns in a season are the most since running back Tyler Ervin, now with the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, ran for 13 touchdowns in 2015.
