ODDS: SDSU +8
This is a pivotal game for both teams. San Jose State is at home and is playingmuch better with the goal of just maybe staying in the hunt for a bowl game. There are two key items to watch for in this matchup.
Quarterback Josh Love has a chance to prove himself against a really good defense. He does have three games of more than 400 yards and is tied for the fewest interceptions in the conference with just two. One of those three happens to be Aztecs signal-caller Ryan Agnew.
San Diego State has been on a roll of late and is finally getting everyone healthy and one thing to look for in this game is Juwan Washington. He has been getting the carries since getting back into the lineup but he is averaging just 3.05 yards per carry and has just on touchdown.
This game vs. the Spartans is a chance for him to have a good game since San Jose State is allowing 4.53 yards per rush. So, there is an opportunity for Washington to have a big game.
San Jose State football has struggled the previous seasons but at the halfway point of the season, they are 3-3. They can thank the great play of Josh Love. This year, he has thrown for 1,832 yards for 10 touchdowns and two interceptions. This senior quarterback has really shined with his passing ability but has also done I great job of leading the Spartans. Love also has one touchdown on the ground. If the Aztecs stop Love and the Passing game it will be good for the Aztecs
Last week, Juwan Washington had a very strong game. It was his second game coming back from injury. He had 23 carries for 84 yards and one rushing touchdown. In the passing game, he had 4 receptions for 28 yards and one receiving touchdown. Washington has the ability to run about 100 or more yards per game when he is 100% healthy, and it has been a long time since the Aztecs have been able to rely on that option with him injured. Wth a healthy Washington, it will be good for the Aztecs.
Quarterback Ryan Agnew has been inconsistent this season. He could look really in the first half of a game but in the second half could play like a whole different quarterback. It was evident in last week’s win vs Wyoming. In the first half he was 10-16 for 60 yards but in the second half was 11-16 for 149 Yards and two touchdown passes. If Wyoming is more consistent in the game for Spartans it will mean great news for the Aztecs.
If the Aztecs are more consistent on offense and if their defense stops the Spartans passing game, it will end likely in the Aztecs in the win column. Since the Aztecs have more skills and athleticism on their side, I belive the Aztecs will win.
This is going to be a clash of styles. San Jose State has been extremely effective through the air this season but they are rather leaky defensively. The Spartans are going to have to contend with a stingy San Diego State team here. The Aztecs had limited opposing teams to just 1.8 yards per carry on the ground before Wyoming ran 39 times for 157 yards last week. San Diego State is very good in protecting the ball, committing only three turnovers while forcing 14 takeaways on the year. The Spartans are going to have a tough time here and in the end, the Aztecs defense is too much to contend with: San Diego State gets the road win here.
