San Jose State coach Ron Caragher under pressure as season slips awayĢ) A fake punt by Boise State that turned fourth-and-long into a first down at SJSU’s 34 yardline and set up the Broncos’ second touchdown. But the difference was a series of gaffes and big plays – all of which tipped in Boise State’s favor:ġ) An opening-drive interception by Potter, which resulted in the Broncos’ first touchdown. *** The Spartans produced 495 yards of offense and were within a touchdown at halftime. What happens next year when there’s no Christian Tago? Mix in an efficient game from quarterback Brett Rypien (16 of 21), and BSU did as it pleased, just as so many other teams have done against the Spartans this season. Two tailbacks, Jeremy McNichols and Alexander Mattison, reached the 100-yard mark. The Broncos had 54 rushing attempts - 50 percent more than their season average - and churned for 298 yards on the ground. *** The defense was its usual self: Ineffective.īoise State loves to throw, but coach Bryan Harsin must have taken one look at SJSU on film and ripped up the playbook: They are 113th in the nation in red zone touchdowns, with a conversion percentage of 51.8. Settling for field goals on the second and third drives - they had first-and-goal from the six and first-and-10 from the 28 - put them in a hole they couldn’t overcome. It was arguably the best game he has played for SJSU. And Potter was as effective as I’ve seen him against a top-tier opponent. The offense couldn’t have played much better (with two exceptions, which are noted below). Comment: Considering the venue and the opponent, the Spartans handled themselves fairly well.
