Not FCS, but local. San Jose State back? 3 victories already.
Mercury: "In a 32-21 victory over the visiting New Mexico Lobos at CEFCU Stadium, Love threw for 405 yards despite being pressured and hit for the majority of the night. Orchestrating one of his best individual performances at San Jose State (3-2, 1-1 Mountain West), Love helped the Spartans pick up their first conference victory of the season."
