San Jose State has had a hard time scoring this year, averaging just 24.3 points per game in their first eight games.

Quarterback Joe Gray has 1,560 passing yards with eight touchdowns and six interceptions.

Fresno State lost their third consecutive game last weekend when they were blown out 45-17 by Wyoming at home. Their defense had a bad game in that one, giving up 694 total yards to Wyoming's offense.

The Bulldogs have one of the worst defenses in the country this season, giving up 36.8 points per game.
