New Mexico (3-1) and San Jose State (1-3) face off in a Week 6 Mountain West season battle at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose.
The Lobos enter the conference fray riding a three-game win streak after falling to Michigan State in Week 1. Tonight they face another set of Spartans, who aim to steady the ship in front of their home crowd.
New Mexico, under first-year head coach Jason Eck, has shown flashes of excellence on both sides of the ball. QB Jack Layne is bringing consistency to the passing game, throwing for 303 yards and 4 touchdowns in the Lobos’ recent win over New Mexico State.
Meanwhile, the Lobos’ defense will try to exploit a San Jose State unit that has struggled to contain yardage (allowing 422 yards per game) and has been inconsistent, especially in secondary coverage.
San Jose State QB Walker Eget recently put together a career night, throwing for 473 yards and 3 TDs against Stanford. But the Spartans’ kicker woes linger — two missed field goals in a 16-13 loss to Central Michigan have drawn scrutiny, and depth and defense remain concerns.
San Jose State also tends to play at one of the slower tempos in the Mountain West, which could disrupt New Mexico’s rhythm if they can keep things methodical.
Prediction
If New Mexico can protect the football and force a few stops, they are in a strong position to win. Their recent momentum and balanced attack give them an edge. San José State has a home crowd and a potent passing game, but defensive vulnerabilities and special-teams issues could cost them.
Projected Score: New Mexico 38, San Jose State 21
