Boise State vs. San Jose State updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

The San Jose State Spartans will head out on the road to face off against the Boise State Broncos at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Albertsons Stadium. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

San Jose State managed to keep up with Air Force until halftime last Friday, but things quickly went downhill from there. San Jose State suffered a brutal 45-20 defeat at the hands of Air Force.

Despite the loss, San Jose State got a solid performance out of Kairee Robinson, who rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. Those two rushing touchdowns set a new season-high mark for Robinson. It was a true group effort though, as the team also got help from Chevan Cordeiro, who punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Meanwhile, Boise State started off good but failed to capitalize on an early lead against Memphis. They fell just short of the Tigers by a score of 35-32. The loss hurts even more since Boise State was up 17-0 with 6:17 left in the second.

Ashton Jeanty put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 53 receiving yards. Those 82 rushing yards set a new season-high mark for Jeanty. Maddux Madsen didn't exactly stuff the stat sheet, but he still finished with two touchdowns in total.

San Jose State's status as the underdog is well-deserved: they've lost four of their last five games. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 4-0 Air Force (San Jose State's opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 83.3% over those games). Boise State's defeat on Saturday dropped their record down to 2-3.

In addition to losing their last games, both teams failed to cover the spread. Looking ahead, Boise State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by ten points. Anyone thinking of taking them against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last four times they've played San Jose State.
