The 2015 San Jose State Spartans football team represented San Jose State University in the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The Spartans were led by third-year head coach Ron Caragher and played their home games at Spartan Stadium . They were members of the Mountain West Conference in the West Division. They finished the season 6–7, 4–4 in Mountain West play to finish in a tie for second place in the West Division. Though they finished 5–7 on the regular season, they qualified for a bowl berth due to having the third highest eligible Academic Progress Rate (APR), after only 77 of the 80 bids for a bowl were filled. This was San Jose's first bowl berth since 2012. The Spartans defeated Georgia State 27–16 to win the inaugural Cure Bowl .
