Week 5: Preview of New Mexico v. San Jose State

Week 5 brings the New Mexico Lobos (1-3) to town to take on the San Jose State Spartans (1-2). Not really sure what to make of the pregame analysis as the Lobos have the advantage in Offense, Defense, and Special Teams, yet the Spartans are somehow favored overall.

After last week's beat-down by the Wolf Pack, the Spartans are looking to bounce back and put up a fight. If the team is going to have a chance, RB John Moreno (averaging 91.5 yards per game) will need to get more touches, and getting a solid game from QB Tony Lima is a must. It would also be nice if the team exercised some discipline and stop committing so many penalties.

The Lobos QB situation is interesting, as they have interchanged Week 1 and 2 starter Clarence Lanier (175 passing ypg, 51 rushing ypg) with Week 3 and 4 starter Steven Fleming (358 passing ypg) despite neither player being injured. Unsure of which QB they will start in this game. The Spartans defense will also need to keep an eye on RB Derrick Cantu who is averaging 4.83 YPC the last 3 games.

On the recruiting side of things, it appears that last week's blowout loss to the Wolf Pack has turned off any interested player from wanting to see the Spartans in action this week.
