San Jose State at UTEP

October 17, 2026
img9:00 PM Eastern

UTEP is 1-5 and has been outgained by 165 or more yards in five of its six games. It lost 61-7 at New Mexico on October 3 and 30-13 to Nevada at home last Saturday, gaining 211 yards in the Nevada game. It scores 15.8 points per game, tied for 132nd among the 138 FBS teams, and allows 39.5, 135th. It gains 257 yards per game and allows 394. Its only win is 51-10 over Texas Southern in September, and it has lost the ball 10 times in six games. San José State is 3-3 and has held its last five opponents to 26 or fewer points. It last played Friday, October 9, and lost 16-13 at home to Wyoming, so it comes in with eight days between games. Its three losses came by 16, 16 and 3, and its wins include 20-16 at Hawaii and 27-21 at Eastern Michigan. San José State scores 21 points per game (114th) and allows 23.5 (tied for 70th). UTEP has scored 17 or fewer in each of its last four games, and I’m betting San José State to cover.
