Boise State's defense isn't the dominant force of years past. The Broncos have surrendered 30 plus points in three of their last four games. Their secondary is vulnerable and prey to an excellent San Jose State passing attack led by QB Nick Starkel, who has completed 70 percent of his throws with a 9-to-2 TD-to-Int ratio and been sacked just twice. The Spartans have just three turnovers. 
San Jose State has continued to improve this season, but they haven't faced a passing attack this potent having drawn Air Force without its starting QB, San Diego State, New Mexico and UNLV. The Broncos have thrown for 200 or more yards in every game. The Broncos rank 16th in the nation in scoring averaging 40 points a game.
