The October 19, 2024, matchup between the Wyoming Cowboys and the San Jose State Spartans promises to be a lopsided affair, with the Spartans heavily favored to win. San Jose State enters this game with a 4-2 record, riding high off a season that has seen their offense and defense gel together well. Led by quarterback Chevan Cordeiro, the Spartans are averaging over 30 points per game and have been particularly dominant at home, where they have won their last five contests. Cordeiro has been efficient, throwing for over 1,600 yards and leading an offense that thrives on both the passing and running games. On the other hand, Wyoming has struggled significantly, sitting at 1-5 on the season. Their offense, led by quarterback Evan Svoboda, has lacked consistency, and the team has averaged fewer than 20 points per game.

Defensively, Wyoming has allowed over 35 points per game, which could spell trouble against a San Jose State offense that has been clicking on all cylinders. The Cowboys will need to tighten up their defensive performance if they hope to contain San Jose State’s balanced attack. Wyoming’s chances of staying competitive in this game will largely depend on whether they can limit their mistakes and control the clock with their run game. If the Cowboys fall behind early, their lack of a dynamic passing attack may make it difficult for them to mount a comeback against a strong Spartan defense. Given San Jose State’s home dominance and Wyoming’s struggles on the road, the Spartans are poised to win this matchup comfortably.
