3:30 PM San Jose State at Navy:
This is a matchup between San Jose
State of the Western Athletic Conference and FBS independent Navy. San Jose
State is entering this game at an impressive 3-1 on the heels of a 38-34 win
over rival San Diego State last week. The Spartans are passing for just over
300 yards per game led by quarterback David Foles' 1124 yards passing and 9
touchdowns on the year. The Spartans need to work on a rushing attack that is
only putting up 125 yards per game. San Jose State is holding opponents to 21.8
points per game with only one foe getting over 20 points (SDSU's 34). The Naval
Academy is entering at 1-2 with a much needed win over VMI ending a two-game
losing streak to start the season. In a bit of a surprise, Navy is only 10th
nationally rushing with an additional 145 yards per game in the air. The
defense is an issue for the Midshipmen with Notre Dame putting up 50 and Penn
State putting up 34 in wins over Navy to start the season. Navy must prove they
can stop a very good offense and will get the shot with San Jose State. This is
the second overall meeting between the two schools with San Jose State winning
a 27-24 thriller in San Jose. Expect Navy to struggle to cover the Spartan wide
receivers and give up big plays like in the opening two games. San Jose State
is an underrated team that has a chance to make some noise this fall. San Jose
State 41-14.
