San Diego State vs San Jose State Game Preview
Why San Diego State Will Win
How is San Diego State doing this? It’s San Diego State, so the defense is stellar, the running game is fantastic, and the team has a way of taking a stranglehold on games.
The ground attack has hit 200 yards in each of the five games, the run defense has yet to allow more than 70 yards a game, and good luck busting the Aztecs out of their formula.
Can San Jose State run? It’s 111th in the nation averaging just over 100 yards per game.

So far this year, San Jose State is 0-3 when allowing more than 130 rushing yards.
