Other facts
1. Big Stats
2. Let’s set a new record today?
Along with the broken tackles record, Jeanty needs just 89 yards to pass Jay Ajayi for the single-season rushing record.
3. Bonus TuStat
The emergence of Jayden Virgin-Morgan has been massive the for program, another big game from him could take the pressure off our DBs.
4. Threadz
So I’m not going to tell you the last (and only other time) we wore these uniforms, but here’s to hoping we can set new memories with them.
5. *Pretty good* memories
Ah, it was a weird game, but we *did* win, so it’s all good I suppose.
Streaks
Boise State – Won 7
San Jose – Won 1
Best Name On Their Roster
Floyd Chalk IV, RB
The fourth?? It’s an easy winner.
Best Picture On Their Roster
Hudson Mesa, OL
Looks like ESPN was struggling a bit with this one.
Players To Watch
Nick Nash, WR
Leads (or rather lead before the start of the week) the country in yards, catches receptions, TDs, etc etc. By all accounts this dude is good at football so I’d probably watch out.
Nick Nash, WR
Just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss the first one. You will be forced to watch this man no matter what you do, they’re gonna throw to him a lot.
Robert Rahimi, S
The Spartans specialize in interceptions, and Rahimi leads the pack with 4. For reference that’s more than the Bronco team to this point… Sigh.
Keys to Victory
Establish the Passing Game
Just like every old timer says, you gotta establish the pass to set up the running game. Get Lauter and Caples involved in the passing game, and we’ll be fine and dandy.
Sacks
QB pressure will be key to defending SJSU’s run and shoot. They been good at protecting the quarterback so the more we can force the issue, the much better it’ll be.
HEI2MAN
Can we get just one more spectacular game from him? A Wazzu-type game would feed families, and would firmly place Jeanty on top of the Heisman world.
Score Prediction
I think this will be a get-right game for the squad. San Jose is no joke of a team, but defensively I don’t think they can keep up.
Boise State 42, San Jose 27
I’ve seen elsewhere were the game starts at 5 P.M. Is it 5 OR 6?
Good catch, that’s a typo by me. Starts at 5pm MST
Thanks
This seems like another one of those weird vibe games. It’s even less of a stadium than Hawaii’s—but no matter the vibe; you are good enough or you are not.
We’d all like to see one of those Jeanty games we got used to the first few games, you know, busting two or three fifty-plus TD runs. (We are so incredibly spoiled.)
