San Jose State’s offensive played a horrible game if compared to the last time the two teams met. San Jose State’s offensive held the ball for 22 minutes compared to San Diego State’s 37 minutes. San Jose State’s offensive line held the San Diego State defense to just one sack. I do give San Jose State’s offensive credit. They scored 21 points during the fourth quarter of tonight’s game and San Diego State defense plays their hardest in the fourth quarter.
