Read excerpt
The 89th edition of the Battle for the Valley will have different stakes from the last dozen games between San Jose State and Fresno State.

With San Jose State’s training camp underway, its defense looks to rebound from a season in which the Spartans ranked 115th nationally in passing defense.
