Through 3 Quarters

The San Jose State Spartans are one quarter away from solidifying a big victory for the program. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Air Force Falcons as the Spartans lead 14 to nothing.

TE Derrick Deese Jr. has led the way so far for SJSU, as he has snatched two receiving TDs. The team has gotten extra help from defensive menace LB Kyle Harmon and his nine tackles.

Air Force has been led by WR Brandon Lewis, who so far has picked up 39 yards on the ground on seven carries.

What to Know

The Air Force Falcons have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. The Falcons and the San Jose State Spartans will face off in a Mountain West battle at 10:30 p.m. ET Saturday at CEFCU Stadium. Air Force was 11-2 last year and is coming off of a 40-7 victory against the Navy Midshipmen three weeks ago. Meanwhile, SJSU struggled last season, ending up 5-7.

A pair of last-season offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Air Force was second best in the nation in rushing yards per game, finishing the 2019 season with 298.5 on average. SJSU displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they ranked fourth in the nation in passing yards per game, closing the season with 338 on average.

Air Force has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. A win is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
