Former Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo worked a little magic with 7-5 San Jose State, which beat Stanford and Oregon State, and lost by two points at Washington State as a 13-point underdog. South Florida beat up on the dregs of the American Athletic Conference, and doesn’t own a victory over an FBS opponent with a winning record.
South Florida has been without starting quarterback Byrum Brown since Week 5, and its offense has struggled, ranking 118th in EPA/play. San Jose State has an excellent run defense, and it should find success through the air, especially if wide receiver phenom Nick Nash plays. Back the Spartans as Ken Niumatalolo will have his team ready for its final game of the year.
If you're living on the East coast and never chose to stay up late for a San Jose State game, gotta give you some info on the Spartans QB Walker Eget.
Throw out the game against UNLV, a 27-16 loss, because it was a lousy, rainy, stormy night. In the three other November games, he has thrown for 1,226 yards (408 per game), with eight TDs.
As long as Walker's right arm is slinging in Honolulu, we KNOW the way to San Jose, and to the Bank of Ecks.
Is Byrum Brown going to play in the Hawai'i Bowl? That is the million-dollar question. Reports have come out that the junior is getting "healthier" as the team preps for their third-straight bowl appearance.
San Jose's middling defense (395.5 YPG) has lost a few starters to the portal. Also, the Spartans trip to the Hawai'i Bowl last season ended in a 24-14 loss to Coastal Carolina. In fact, they haven't won a bowl game in a decade.
I'm banking on Brown playing and even if he doesn't, I'm calling San Jose's defense to get exposed.
