San Jose State Spartans Host No. 13 Boise State in Highly Anticipated College Football Matchup

The San Jose State Spartans are gearing up to host the No. 13 Boise State Broncos in a pivotal college football matchup this Saturday, November 16, 2024. The game, scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m. at CEFCU Stadium, is trending towards a sellout, with only limited tickets available.

San Jose State, currently standing at 6-3 overall and 3-2 in the Mountain West Conference, is coming off a significant 24-13 win over Oregon State in their last outing. This victory improved their record and showcased the team’s resilience, particularly with their strong passing game. The Spartans are among the top five nationally in passing yards per game and rank 11th in yards per completion and 29th in yards per attempt[2].

Boise State, with an impressive 8-1 record and a perfect 5-0 mark in the Mountain West Conference, enters the game as a strong favorite. However, the Broncos’ defense, while solid against the rush, has been vulnerable to passing attacks, ranking 110th in pass defense, 104th in yards per attempt allowed, and 98th in yards per completion allowed. This vulnerability could be exploited by San Jose State’s potent aerial offense[2].

The betting lines have Boise State as a 14-point favorite, a number that has remained just below two touchdowns. Despite this, analysts are predicting a competitive game, with some suggesting that San Jose State could cover the spread given their recent performances and the matchup dynamics[3].

The game promises to be an exciting showdown between two teams with different strengths and weaknesses, and fans are eagerly anticipating the clash at CEFCU Stadium.
