Spartans (7-4) favored to beat Eastern Michigan in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
However, the Eagles have made strides in that department. After losing the turnover battle in their first seven games, they were plus-10 over the last five games.
Spartans quarterback Chevan Cordeiro has thrown for 2,884 yards this season, including 20 touchdowns to just four interceptions. As a team, San Jose State ranked 33rd in the nation in passing offense, averaging 264 yards a game through the air. Despite the Eagles’ youth in the secondary where all five starters are sophomores, defensive coordinator Neal Neathery runs an unconventional 4-2-5 defense. He’ll be relying on MAC defensive player of the year Jose Ramirez to generate pressure up front, something the senior has done well, leading the country in sacks per-game average with 12 total on the season.
“We’ve seen other dual-threat quarterbacks this season,” Ramirez said. “We’re just going to attack like we’ve been coached to attack all the other ones.”
