Didn't know this: "San Jose State and LSU
shared the national lead in 2007 for fewest fumbles with three." -- but some of this is due to passing so often
"San Jose State has ranked in the top-20
nationally in turnover margin the last two seasons. The Spartans were seventh at plus-13
and 13th in 2006 at plus-9." -- such a figure is usually associated with a 7-4 or so team but SJSU's running limited the final record
Offensive Starters Back (6)
WR David Richmond, 6-4, 200, Sr.
OT Fred Koloto, 6-3, 290, So.
OG Isaac Leatiota, 6-4, 295, So.
C Ronnie Castillo, 6-0, 292, Jr.
TE Brian Elledge, 6-3, 210, Sr.
WR Kevin Jurovich, 6-0, 183, Sr.
Defensive Starters Back (6)
DL Jarron Gilbert, 6-6, 280, Sr.
DT Adonis Davis, 6-1, 295, Jr.
DE Carl Ihenacho, 6-3, 245, Jr.
DE Justin Cole, 6-3, 240, Jr.
CB Christopher Owens, 5-10, 170, Sr.
S Duke Ihenacho, 6-1, 200, So.
But Lowery's and Castelo's departures have to hurt. However, good nucleuses on O and D make it more filling in holes than any sort of rebuild.
KEY TEAM STATS
FIRST DOWNS (Rushing-Passing-Penalty) SJSU 229 (63-136-30) OPPONENTS 271 (117-144-10) -- gotta get some semblance of a running game going
RUSHING ATTEMPTS-YARDAGE SJSU 385-1005 OPPONENTS 437-1985 -- wow, look at the disparity in attempts AND total yardage
TOTAL OFFENSE SJSU 4177 OPPONENTS 4896 -- gotta even this one up
PENALTIES-YARDS SJSU 77-550 OPPONENTS 95-793 -- finally, finally a Spartan team playing smartly
TIME OF POSSESSION/GAME SJSU 30:11 OPPONENTS 29:39 -- this is really remarkable, controlling the game via passing but giving up big plays also factors into these numbers.
3RD-DOWN CONVERSIONS (Percentage) SJSU 61/180 (34%) OPPONENTS 84/173 (49%) -- 49% just cannot be allowed in a winning season
