San Jose State vs New Mexico State Game Preview

Why San Jose State Will Win

Stop New Mexico State from running the ball and you stop New Mexico State.

San Jose State is coming off a clunker of a 17-10 loss to Fresno State when nothing seemed to work other than the passing game, but the run D was great allowing just 98 yards.

New Mexico State only hits 44% of its passes with the second-least efficient attack in college football. The Spartan defensive front will tee off.

NFL Expert Picks, Week 7

Why New Mexico State Will Win

What did Fresno State do to stop the San Jose State momentum? It hit its midrange throws, but New Mexico State can’t do that.

The Bulldogs gave up a few big pass plays, but they kept QB Chevan Cordeiro from being consistent and keeping things moving in key moments. Think bend-but-don’t-break – that’s what the Aggies have to do.

They have enough of a defense to keep things close – Wisconsin and Minnesota were the only brutal blowouts – but they need several breaks to pull this off at home.

But …

What’s Going To Happen

This is the third road date and fourth game in 21 days for the Spartans. There’s going to be a wee bit of a fatigue factor, but it won’t matter all that much.

The run defense will be solid, New Mexico State won’t throw well enough to matter, and San Jose State will turn the yards into points after not getting it done last week.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

San Jose State vs New Mexico State Game Preview


Why New Mexico State Will Win

The defense isn’t all that bad at coming up with takeaways thanks to just enough pressure to matter.

It’s been a rough run overall against FBS teams – the defense has’t been doing enough overall to keep the team in games – but there’s just enough improvement on both sides to think that something might break through soon.

The passing game has been better – Jonah Johnson took back the reins against Hawaii and threw for 280 yards – and now the big plays have to come. San Jose State isn’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard, but …

Week 5 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why San Jose State Will Win

The Spartans might not be playing all that well, and they’re not close to being as crisp as they were last year, but the defense continues to be good enough to get by.

It’s not dominant, but it only allowed more than 23 points once – the 30-7 loss to USC – and it’s good at getting off the field with enough pressure to be a constant bother.

New Mexico State isn’t doing enough to slow down the run – San Jose State has to at least start giving it more of a try – and even though the passing game has been better, it’s not close to being efficient enough to keep up if the Spartans get out to a good start.

What’s Going To Happen

San Jose State needs to come up with a win to try kickstarting the season.

Beating New Mexico State might not be a true sign of anything big, but anything less than a walk in the park might send off fire alarms. At the very least, after three rough offensive performances, the Spartans will finally start to crank up the production.

They’ll score on the first few drives, the defense will generate a few takeaways, and the game will get away from the Aggies in a hurry.
