Helped by two interceptions returned for touchdowns, the San Jose State Spartans picked up its second road win of the season Saturday, defeating the Aggies of New Mexico State, 31-17.
It was one of the least pretty offensive games I've ever seen, and I've seen some bad college football. Fall 2006, I covered the end-of-season rivalry game for the community college I attended. American River College vs. Sacramento City College is a lot like when SJSU plays Stanford.
SJSU has a chance, but not much of one. Such was the case for ARC.
The Friday before had rained, and Hughes Stadium was a mess from a night of high school football before the game. The skies were daunting, and the field was still a sloppy mess.
The field affected the play. The only thing play that worked on the slip and slide field were running plays, of which only Sacramento City could run. ARC didn't actually gain a first down until there were less than two minutes left in the game. It was a sloppy 19-0 victory for the Sac City.
But anyways, that's what the Aggies-Spartans game was like. Neither the Aggies nor the Spartans had any luck moving the ball, the Spartans from sheer incompetence, the Aggies from poor decision making.
If the San Jose State Spartans play as badly as they did against New Mexico State, they won't even sniff a victory against the Broncos of Boise State. The Broncos have one of the top rated offenses in the country, and are also in the top 40 defensively too.
