Nevada vs San Jose State Game Preview

Why Nevada Will Win

Can the Wolf Pack get the passing game going again?

It wasn’t bad in the stunning loss to Colorado State, and its hasn’t been too awful over the last few games since. Now it has to let it rip.

The defense hasn’t been miserable – playing Colorado State, Hawaii, and San Diego State has something to do with that – and being a +8 in turnover margin has been a huge help.

But …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 8

Why San Jose State Will Win

San Jose State has had two weeks off since the stunning loss to Fresno State. It’s going to be ready to get back on track.

The passing game should be way too effective against a Nevada defense that hasn’t seen good quarterback play all season long. The Spartans don’t run all that well, but they should be able to do just enough to balance things out a bit.

And then there are the turnovers. Nevada might have 16 takeaways on the season, but San Jose State has turned it over just twice. The team is +9 in turnover margin – it’ll be fine.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s like Nevada was waiting for that Colorado State game against former head coach Jay Norvell, lost it in painful late fashion, and it hasn’t been close to getting its mojo back.

San Jose State will quickly get back on track to playing in the Mountain West title. It’ll come up with a solid defensive performance – Nevada won’t come up with 300 yards of total O.

Why Nevada Will Win

The Nevada passing game got back on track.

The O rolled through the air in the first five wins and came up with 354 yards against Fresno State in a 37-26 win. The one loss came when the ground game worked against Hawaii, but the pass defense didn’t.

San Jose State’s defense hasn’t bee ripped up, but it’ll give up well over 200 yards and it doesn’t come up with enough big plays. The only team is was able to shut down through the air was Air Force, but even New Mexico, San Diego State, and UNLV were able to throw well.

To be fair, those teams were trying to come back in those games, but still, the Spartans don’t pick off a slew of passes and now it’s Carson Strong’s turn to have some fun – the Nevada quarterback is going to throw multiple scoring passes.

Week 15 College Schedule

Why San Jose State Will Win

This team is finding a way.

It’s not all that explosive offensively, but it doesn’t make a ton of mistakes.

It’s not that great at running the ball, taking the ball away, or controlling the clock, but the defense has a knack for coming up with the big stop, and QB Nick Starkel has been the veteran presence who’s not making a whole lot of mistakes.

There’s no Nevada running game to worry about, and the Pack D doesn’t take the ball away. Turnovers shouldn’t be a big deal in this, but if the margin is going to go one way, it’ll push towards San Jose State.

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

San Jose State has been moved out of his home park as a part of the Santa Clara County restrictions, and now it’s off to Vegas and UNLV’s old home in Sam Boyd Stadium.

Here’s the Mountain West championship deal – the winner is in, the loser is out.

San Jose State was able to overcome a rough day by Starkel to beat Hawaii with the ground game, but that’s not going to work this time around. This is the first big-time passing game the Spartans will face, and Nevada come through. Strong will make the big plays and Starkel won’t.
