What to Know
A Mountain West battle is on tap between the San Jose State Spartans and the San Diego State Aztecs at 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday at CEFCU Stadium. SJSU is out to stop a four-game streak of losses at home.
This past Saturday, the Spartans lost to the Colorado State Rams on the road by a decisive 32-14 margin. No one had a standout game offensively for SJSU, but they got scores from WR Isaiah Hamilton and TE Derrick Deese Jr..
Meanwhile, San Diego State made easy work of the New Mexico Lobos this past Saturday and carried off a 31-7 victory. San Diego State QB Jordon Brookshire did work as he accumulated 130 passing yards in addition to rushing for two TDs and 45 yards.
SJSU is expected to lose this next one by 9.5. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past five games.
SJSU is now 3-3 while the Aztecs sit at 5-0. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Spartans are stumbling into the game with the 189th fewest rushing yards per game in the nation, having accrued only 106.3 on average. San Diego State has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 224th worst in the nation in passing yards per game, with only 128.8 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
