Why Sacramento State Will Win
Again, the offense has the upside to explode.
Marcus Fulcher is a strong veteran running back, Kaiden Bennett is a great all-around quarterback who knows what he’s doing, and there’s enough pop to make San Jose State have to press.
The Spartans are retooling on the offensive front, the quarterback play isn’t a sure thing, and the defense could use more of a breather than this to start the season.
