What to Know
The San Jose State Spartans watched the action from their couches last weekend, but are set to take to the field. The Spartans and the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors will face off in a Mountain West battle Sunday at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex. SJSU won’t have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy an 8-point advantage in the spread.
SJSU might not have won anyway, but with 93 yards lost due to penalties, they really shot themselves in the foot two weeks ago. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 30-7 punch to the gut against the USC Trojans. SJSU was surely aware of their 14-point disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result. One thing holding SJSU back was the mediocre play of QB Nick Starkel, who did not have his best game: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw two interceptions.
Meanwhile, the matchup between Hawaii and the Oregon State Beavers last week was not a total blowout, but with the Rainbow Warriors falling 45-27 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Hawaii’s loss came about despite a quality game from RB Calvin Turner, who punched in two rushing touchdowns in addition to catching seven passes for one TD and 106 yards.
Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a win. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
