The Wolf Pack travels to San Jose State Saturday to take on the Spartans. Unlike San Diego State, San Jose State has a more balanced offense to accompany a rock-solid defense. San Jose State, a program that used to be a perpetual loser and a regular in ESPN’s “Bottom 10” rankings, currently sits at 4-2 overall, 2-1 in conference, and is in second place in the West division, poised to make a run at the conference championship game. The Spartans defense is a major reason why, ranking 16th in total defense, ninth in passing defense, 43rd in rushing defense, and eighth in red zone defense. The Spartans’ two losses this year were against Auburn and Fresno State, both on the road and both by only one possession. Two guys on the Spartan defense to keep an eye on are senior linebacker Kyle Harmon and junior defensive end Viliami Fehoko.
Nevada football team faces tough challenge at San Jose State on SaturdayLast week, Nevada’s offense was outplayed by a San Diego State offense led by a quarterback who was playing safety four weeks ago. The offense couldn’t get anything going against the Aztec defense. The unit’s issues have been consistent throughout the season, particularly during the current six-game losing streak. It doesn’t get any easier this week, either.
9%) for the Spartans, with one touchdown and one interception. Kairee Robinson ran for 50 yards on 12 carries (4. 2 yards per carry), adding four receptions for six yards. Elijah Cooks had seven receptions for 140 yards (20. 0 per catch) and one touchdown against the Bulldogs. Shane Illingworth totaled 181 passing yards while going 21-for-33 with one touchdown and one interception for the Wolf Pack against the Aztecs.
Lockhart is second on the team in catches (17), receiving yards (298), and yards per catch (17. 5), and has acted as a quality number two receiver behind Cooks. Another weapon to keep an eye on is tight end Dominick Mazotti. Despite only recording 11 catches, he makes the most with what he’s given. He has 142 yards receiving and a touchdown and averages 12. 9 yards per catch.
Spartan running back Kairee Robinson averages 4. 6 yards per carry and has six touchdowns thus far, making him the likely starting point for San Jose State’s offense. Quarterback Chevan Cordeiro is also a threat in the running game. Despite only having 173 yards on the ground, he has shown an ability to scramble and keep drives alive. He’s also a red zone threat, scoring six touchdowns on his own.
Harmon leads the team in tackles with 52, and is coming off his best game of the season against the Fresno State Bulldogs. He finished with 11 total tackles, nine solos, and helped lead the defense in holding Fresno State to only 98 rushing yards and a mere 2. 7 yards per carry. Fehoko also had a big game against the Bulldogs, totaling seven tackles, including three tackles for loss, a sack, and a forced fumble he recovered that set up a Spartan touchdown to end the first half. Both lead a front seven that is expected to give Nevada fits.

If Nevada does slow down the running game and San Jose State is forced to throw the ball, Cordeiro is effective throwing down field, throwing for 1, 610 yards and seven touchdowns to just one interception. Despite a 56. 8 completion percentage, he’s a dangerous dual-threat quarterback. He also has weapons to throw to that Nevada may recognize. Former Nevada receivers Elijah Cooks and Justin Lockhart both jumped ship to San Jose State after former Nevada head coach Jay Norvell took the job at Colorado State and have both become reliable pass catchers for the Spartans. Cooks, who missed a majority of last season to injury, is having a stellar first half of the season, hauling in 29 catches for 542 yards and three touchdowns to go with a whopping 18. 7 yards per catch.

No updates have been announced on when or if the postponed game will be rescheduled. Nevada safety Bentlee Sanders was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award Monday, given annually to the nation’s best defensive back. Sanders is tied for the nation’s lead in interceptions with five and tied for second in forced fumbles with three — all three recovered by Nevada. He also leads the team in total tackles (51) and solo tackles (38), and is second in assisted tackles (13). The three finalists for the Jim Thorpe Award will be announced on ESPN Nov.
The Nevada defense, particularly the secondary, has been something to point to when looking for something positive from this season. The Wolf Pack is tied for ninth in takeaways and ranks 33rd in pass defense and 76th in total defense. Even the defense has its problems, though. With Nevada sitting at 106th in the country in run defense, it’s too easy for teams to avoid the perceived strength of the defense and just gain yards on the ground. For a San Jose State offense that doesn’t put up huge numbers, it does have plenty of weapons for Nevada to worry about.

For a Nevada offense that is struggling to score points, this isn’t an ideal matchup, especially since the issue of starting quarterback continues to plague the team. Nate Cox and Shane Illingworth were in a quarterback battle in fall camp that extended to the first few games of the season. Cox took the reins for the last four games, but was benched midway through last week’s game. Illingworth had his moments, particularly in his first drive that ended with a touchdown, but only finished with 181 yards, one touchdown and one interception. If Nevada’s running game is slowed by the Spartan front, one of the quarterbacks will need to make plays in the passing game, something neither of them have shown an ability to do consistently.

He does a lot with a little, and if Nevada’s secondary is able to slow down the receivers on the outside, Mazotti may be targeted in the middle of the field to make catches underneath the safeties in the middle of the field. Notes: San Jose State postponed last week’s scheduled game at New Mexico after the tragic death of freshman running back Camdan McWright. The 18-year-old McWright died last Friday after being hit by a school bus two blocks from the San Jose campus. As the school bus was driving through the green light, McWright rode his scooter into the crosswalk in front of the bus. He died on the scene.
