Lobos at San Jose State Preview1:05 – 5:25

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:05

All right, Lobos at San Jose State on Saturday afternoon.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:10

It is a 2 o'clock start over on NewsRadio KKLB.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:12

JJ and Ned will have the pregame show at 1 o'clock.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:16

Spartans are 4-4, 2-2 in conference play.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:20

They've lost to USC and Fresno State, Wyoming, and Nevada.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:23

Their victories are over Eastern Michigan, Cal Poly, on the road at Hawaii, and on the road at UTEP.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:31

All right, so what are the Spartans? First of all, they're desperate.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:36

They need to win three of their last five to become bowl eligible.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:40

They have New Mexico, Northern Illinois, Air Force, UNLV, and North Dakota State.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:45

A North Dakota State game is a non-conference game, the way I understand it.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:50

What do they do well? They get to the passer.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:54

Luke Weaver is a capable quarterback.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

1:58

Did they go two quarterbacks last week? They played Rolovich as well last week.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:01

They played three last week.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:02

So there's

2:02

a little uncertainty.

2:03

So

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:04

I'm a Sony plate as well.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:06

So who are they going to run? I think Ken Niumatalolo is really trying to figure out.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:10

I think he's pissed.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:11

I think he thought that this team was way better, and they got handled at Nevada last week.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:16

And Nevada's playing better.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:18

Do they run the ball well? Not incredibly well.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:20

Their leading rusher is Jabari Bates, 586 yards.

Jeff SiembiedaHost

2:24

He's averaging four and a half yards per carry.
