The San Jose Spartans are next in today's 2010 college football outlook. The Spartans struggled through a 2-10 (1-7) season last year, but with new head coach Mike MacIntyre on board, there's hope for a turnaround.
The passing game should be solid. The receiving corps is deep, led by senior Marquis Avery and sophomore Josh Harrison. There will probably be a three-way battle under center, though, between Jordan La Secla, Matt Faulkner, and Dasmen Stewart. The running game, however, leaves much to be desired—it produced just 76 yards per game in 2009. That's simply not good enough to cut it, even in the WAC.
On the other side of the ball, San Jose State was porous against the run, allowing a whopping 259 yards per game. The Spartans will be lucky to match last year's win total if that trend continues.

Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy's expert take: The Spartans are just plain bad. Luckily New Mexico State is almost as pitiful, so Jose is not a lock for last, but that's likely their destiny.
