Utah State, on the other hand, is coming off a 28-21 win over New Mexico.
San Jose State
With just two games left in the 2014 college football regular season, the San Jose State Spartans are desperate for a win. They’ve lost four straight at this point in the process, and they’ve managed to win just three games all year.

At this point in the year, the Spartans have established themselves as a solid passing team. They’re averaging just 140.7 rushing yards per game (94th in the nation), but they’re making up for it with 284.4 yards per contest through the air (24th).
Luckily for the Spartans, Utah State will allow them to throw the ball successfully. The Aggies are just 98th in the nation in terms of defending the pass, as their primary area of success defensively has been stopping opponents on the ground.
Utah State
Goal No. 1 for Utah State is defending the pass. If the Aggies are able to do just that, San Diego State won’t stand a chance, as the team is as one-dimensional as it comes.
So far this season, defense hasn’t been a problem when it comes to holding opponents to low scoring. The team is giving up just 19.4 points per game, which is god enough for 13th in the country.
Unfortunately for the Aggies, they’ve had difficult of their own putting points on the board.

The team is 80th in the nation when it comes to scoring, which equates to just 26.9 points per contest.

Although it’s impossible to call the Spartans a safe bet in this one, consider one thing: This should be a low-scoring contest.
[dfads params=’groups=63739&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
These two teams combine for just 48.7 points per contest. Additionally, they give up just 46.8 points per game.
The total projected score has gone under in eight of Utah State’s last 10 conference games. Look for this one to go in the Aggies’ favor straight up when the clock strikes zero, but with a low score, don’t be shocked if San Jose St. earns a moral victory in the form of an ATS win.
