Fresno State was no match for San José State on Saturday night.

Fans watching the Mountain West Conference matchup in the Bay Area were stunned by the convincing win by the 5-5 Spartans.

Final: San José State 42, Fresno State 18.

The loss drops the Bulldogs to 8-2 and third in the Mountain West.

Fans chimed in on what they thought about Fresno State.

See for yourself.

I'll tell you, Fresno State is ranked 25th and has a chance at a new year's 6 bowl. San Jose State has a history of screwing that up. Ibsaw this coming. This isn't the first time

Being a Fresno State Football Fan reminds me of being a Chicago Cubs Fan from 1908-2016… They always get so close but break your heart. Every time!

Well... every part of the Fresno State game has been taken away tonight. The Red Zone D, the third down conversions, the turnovers, the energy of previous games is not there . #FresnoState

San Jose lifting the Valley trophy should never happen! Fresno State literally has the V on their jersey

Oddsmakers had San José State the favorites at -2.5..

Fresno State wasn’t the only Mountain West that had a surprising loss on Saturday night.

Air Force lost to Hawaii 27-13 that now puts UNLV at the top of the Mountain West standings, followed by the Falcons, Fresno State, San Jose State and Boise State.

The top two teams make it to the Mountain West championship.

Air Force lost, Fresno State is about to lose. Guys, MW football title race is wide open!
