San José State Preview
QB Walker Eget has 714 passing yards with 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. WR Danny Scudero is the top target with 379 yards and 1 score. The run game has strength with Jabari Bates at 175 yards and 2 touchdowns, including an 87-yard burst. The issue is finishing drives: the Spartans are 1-for-5 on field goals, so empty trips have hurt.
The defense has one interception (Jalen Apalit-Williams) and only two team sacks. That makes it difficult for the defense on third downs, and it puts more pressure on the offense to score. To pull off the upset, San José State needs big runs from Bates, no interceptions by Eget, and better red-zone results.
Stanford Preview
Cardinal QB Ben Gulbranson has 723 passing yards with 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. RB Micah Ford is the engine with 335 rushing yards and 3 scores, and his work sets up shorts passes to Bryce Farrell (275 yards, 1 touchdown) and C.J. Williams underneath. Stanford has allowed 10 sacks, but San José State’s pass rush has produced only two, so Gulbranson should have time.

San Jose State vs Stanford Prediction
Stanford has the stronger run game, the better field-goal unit, and a pass rush that can create problems and force mistakes by San Jose State QB Eget. San José State’s lack of pressure will create problems for the secondary. Final Score Prediction: Stanford Cardinal win and cover ATS 38–10.
