Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread UNLV at SJSU FOOTBALL

[j. spilotro]

May as well start a thread talking all things UNLV at SJSU. Suffice it to say, huge game, but they all are here until the end.

Haven’t seen the line yet, guessing UNLV will be around a 6 point favorite. There are no roll overs, won’t even be one for the UNR game. SJSU is going to go all out and they certainly CAN beat UNLV.

I think it’s going to be a really tough game.

This one makes me nervous. Does CSU play FSU before or after our game? Hopefully before because if they win, and we get upset, then the loss will hurt less.

We play Friday, they play Saturday.

Take care of business against SJSU and then pressure stays on CSU.

Baby Jesus is back and I think helped get the offense back on track. Haven’t watched SJSU so I’m not gonna comment. I know they’re dangerous and was a game that a lot of us had circled as a danger game. We were 20 point favorites against SDSU and didn’t look past them… don’t think we’ll be looking past SJSU either.

SJSU is really good offensively at what we defend poorly which is the short passes. I am very concerned about this game. I believe that we will need to score TD's and not have to settle for FG's if we want to win.

Wow. Too much. Bad number imo.

They’re not great but they’re capable. More capable than Oregon State, Hawaii, SDSU, Utah State and Fresno State.

They throw ALOT and they protected the QB very well against Boise. Nash is a stud receiver.

If both teams bring their A game, I think UNLV wins the game. So let’s just worry about bringing our A game.

UNLV's defense depends on the pass rush. If they cant put pressure on the SJSU's qb it will be a long night. They play too far off which opens up the short passing game and not very good at defending the long throw. So if they cant get through the line and keep their qb on his heels the outcome might not be great.

Agreed. And we won’t bring enough with the front so we are going to have to bring backers. Have to disguise it, switch it up, surprise them. But we did that against other teams and some were able to pick us apart with the short game.

At some point, we have to gamble and play tighter shorter … those 5-6 yard easy ones are slow death.

I don’t think UNLV needs its A game as much as not having game turning calls by the officials or really dumb penalties by UNLV
