New coordinators: Offensive coordinator Andrew Sowder and defensive coordinator Derrick Odum are in coordinator roles for the first time in their respective coaching careers. Sowder is in his ninth season of college coaching; Odum, his 22nd.

Two generations of Bernardis: First-year offensive line Joe Bernardi is a second-generation San José State offensive line coach. His dad, Gary Bernardi, now at the University of Colo-rado, was the Spartans’ offensive line coach from 2010 through 2012.

The Bernardis are the second multi-generational foot-ball family to serve as San José State assistant coaches. Tom Quinn, current New York Giants special teams coordinator, had the same role with the Spartans during the 1999 through 2001 seasons. His dad, Mike Quinn, was San José State’s special teams coordinator from 1976 through 1978.

Youth movement in the coaching box: Offensive line coach Joe Bernardi (30), offensive coordinator Andrew Sowder (29), linebackers coach Bojay Filimoeatu (27) and wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings (26) begin the season aged 30 and under. Filimoeatu and Cummings will be a year older in De-cember.

Experienced offensive line: San José State’s starting offensive line at the beginning the season consisting of tackles Troy Kowalski and Nate Velichko, guards Jeremiah Kolone and Chris Gonzalez, and center Keoni Taylor have 159 combined starts after eight games in 2017. That number is tops among Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools.

Families that stay together: The 2017 San José State team has two sets of brothers and one second-generation Spartan. Cornerback Jermaine Kelly is the older brother of wide receiv-er Jeremy Kelly.

Linebacker William Ossai, a senior, is the older brother of freshman Isaiah Ossai. Isaiah is the third Ossai in the family to join the San José State football program. Their older brother, Onyeka Ossai, was a linebacker during the 2001 through 2003 seasons.

Defensive lineman Nico Aimonetti is the son of former San José State team captain and 1986 honorable mention All-America offensive lineman John Aimonetti.

New CEFCU Stadium playing surface: In 2017, San José State replaced its FieldTurf playing surface with its second artificial playing surface, AstroTurf, since CEFCU Stadiium opened in 1933. For the first time, the Spartans’ home field has a two-toned look with light and dark greens alternating every five yards from goal line to goal line.

Home stadium name history: San José State and Citizens Equity First Credit Union (CEFCU, pronounced SEFF-cue) are in year two of a 15-year naming rights agreement for the university’s football stadium, built in 1933, to be called CEFCU Stadium - Home of the Spartans. CEFCU and San José State Athletics first became partners in 2011 with signage on the stadium scoreboard and at the West gate entry point.

New uniforms: In July 2017, San José State University began a six-year, all-sports apparel agreement with adidas.
