Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Over 45.5 total★★★

The over 45.5 is the play.

The number

The total is 45.5.

The decider

San Jose State are without Luke Weaver at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. San Jose State's offense meets an UTEP defense that has been generous; the edge in that matchup belongs to UTEP. San Jose State score 21.4 a game and UTEP allow 37.3.

The context

San Jose State have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.

Situational

San Jose State are missing Isaiah Buxton (CB); UTEP are missing Carver Cheeks (WR), TJ Tillman (CB) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

These two combine for 36.5 points a game, fewer than this 45.5 total.
