A good clash in the desert.

After claiming their first Mountain West football title with a 34-20 victory over Boise State on Saturday, it didn’t take long for the San Jose State Spartans to learn about their bowl destination.

The bowl game will be the first meeting between these two teams. It kicks off at 11:00 AM Pacific/12:00 PM Mountain on CBS.
