The Spartans kicked things off this year with wins over Sacramento State, Air Force and Kennesaw State before a loss to Washington State in overtime. A 2-2 run followed with wins over Nevada and Wyoming mixed with losses to Colorado State and Fresno State.

In the California Game, the Beavers were demolished 31-0 in the first half and limped to a 44-7 blowout. QB Ben Gulbranson had 131 yards with a score, and Anthony Hankerson led the rush on 49 yards. Trent Walker caught the TD among his five grabs for 58 yards.

Oregon State vs San Jose State Prediction

I’ll lean toward Oregon State. Probably not touching this one though, as both teams could use a good showing here. The Beavers were slapped around pretty badly by California, gaining just 200 yards of offense (140 passing), 3.6 yards per play, 12 first downs and 1-of-12 on third-down tries. Oregon State’s defense gave up 478 yards on the other side (364 passing) and 28 first downs along the way.

As for San Jose State, they gave up 401 yards (275 passing) and 12-of-19 on third downs in their loss to Fresno State. The Spartans offense went just 5-of-15 on third downs themselves and had four interceptions. San Jose State hasn’t gotten past 24 points in any of the last three Games, so I think the Beavers can keep a cover pace here.
