Utah St -5.5 @ SDST. What am I missing?

I feel like all year Utah St has been flying under the radar?

SD St isn't that good of a football team? Is it the let down after a big win over Boise St?

SDSU got off to a slow start this season but have been playing very solid last couple of games. Line is about right at 4.5 imo.

San Diego State is a very good football team for their conference. I've watched all but one of their games this year and like what I've seen the past few weekends. Their RB Donnel Pumphrey is a ton of fun to watch--think Darren Sproles--and can take over a game.

Utah State had a +7 turnover margin against Boise....SDSU is giving up less than 300 yds per game... Utah State going on the road now after a big emotional win.... read up on how pumped Utah state was for Boise game (they looked at that game as the conference championship game).... good spot for a let down

But if Utah St plays like they can, emotions to the side, 14+ win right?

 

[thecruncher]

No, like I said, the number is right imo.

I think Philly hit it on the head, LOL. I took Utah State in that game, but I see serious letdown potential here. This ain't the pros, we're talking college kids. I'd say the Aggies have been getting beer and pussy all week, but being a Mormon school, I don't think they do that, LOL. At Vandy, we hammered the cheerleaders after every win, threw in a bottle of good scotch to boot...... unfortunately, during my tenure, wasn't a lot of hammering to be done.

Interesting spot for for Utah st, they could lose this game but would still probably play the Aztecs again in the mwc game. That being said Utah st. Is extremely well coached and never let down after a big win or loss. I think they're gonna limit Pumphrey and thoroughly control this game, leaving no question as to who is the big dawg in the conference.

Solid defense that can run the ball and stop the run, getting points at home.

San Diego St a clear play for me.

As mentioned Utah St off huge win getting lots of turnovers in the process. Let down spot as well.

Excellent running back in Donnel Pumphrey for SDSU.
