Why Pokes Lose at SJSU

[Adv8RU12]

Do I want them to lose? Hell no. But...

1) SJSU 2 weeks to prepare
2) @home
3) 608 yards against CSU
4) DC unimaginative, no-risk playbook figured out by opponents.
5) Poke defense not making adjustments
6) Poke players (with a few exceptions) seem to have lost the fire in their bellys

7) Pokes have poor history in California

I'm going to take the other side (from a gambling perspective)

1) they are on the road where the weather is warm and probably no wind - perfect passing conditions for Bret and co.

2) crowd likely to be small and not much of a factor

3) SJSU is hardly a defensive juggernaut either

4) less pressure on the team and more focused playing on the road - 2 best offensive performances this year - Nebraska and air farce - both on the road.

Well, that's all I've got. Our defense has to play better as they have a qb that is better than csewe's. If we don't get pressure on him, he will pick us apart.

I lost major coin betting on Wyo. last week. I felt sure we would kill csewe. I think this is a make or break game. We win and still have a chance to make some noise in the conference. A loss would be devastating.
