Before anyone starts throwing rocks in the direction of either school, just keep in mind there's a discrepancy but no one knows which record is incorrect.

SDSU Sports Info lists Saturday's game as the 108th meeting between the two schools. With last year's win, the Jacks were up 51-50-6 in the 107 games played so far.

Re: Jacks at USD
Zimmer's working overtime today: article just posted on the topic "USD, SDSU coaches respect, admire each other."
http://www.argusleader.com/story/spo...ther/75590686/
Good perspective, good article. Fans from either side who want to make it all ugly may want to read the coaches' comments twice.

I sure as heck don't expect a blowout ass kicking like YSU put on the coyotes earlier this year and I don't expect a the game of the season from USD (that happened in Fargo)....

Originally posted by Jacked4Days View PostI understand that USD is having a better season than in years past. They have the right to be excited because the football team is doing something which is more than that fanbase can say about in years past. I also believe that if they win out they will make the playoffs; however, I do not see this happening. One thing I do not understand is the hype around their defense. It almost seems like that defense has been put on an even playing field with SDSU's defense. This season SDSU is giving up 14.6 points a game and ranked 5th in the nation tops in the conference. Arguably, this year we are watching the best SDSU defense that has ever played. As a fanbase, we have been hyping our defense and rightfully so, but USD's defense is nowhere near the level of SDSU's. They are better than in years past, but that doesn't mean it's a great defense. They are mediocre. Nothing more. Nothing less. USD is giving up 22.7 points a game. That ranks 41st in the FCS and 6th in the conference behind SDSU, NDSU, UNI, Illinois State, and Youngstown. This weekend we are not facing a defensive powerhouse. An improved defense, yes, but just that.

Jackrabbits need to go into the dome Saturday and kick USD's ass. SDSU has a better team this year and a much better program overall. That's taking nothing away from the expected progress at USD. All that matters right now is who plays better on Saturday. I sure as heck don't expect a blowout ass kicking like YSU put on the coyotes earlier this year and I don't expect a the game of the season from USD (that happened in Fargo).
The strength for both teams is their defense. If one teams defensive squad comes out more aggressive and with a higher motor I think that team is likely to win. Neither teams offense is that impressive at this point. In fact, I'd say its an even battle. Both want to run the ball first, both have mobile QB's (yes I think Lujan should sit but that Eidsness' call not mine) that can throw but aren't stellar. RB's and WR core are about equal with Jake W. being the best of the bunch, not close.
Turnovers and penalties could be huge. If one team has a distinct advantage in either they probably win. Jacks were really bad in the redzone for the middle stretch of the season, seemed to be better last 2 games. On the other hand Jacks defense is stout in the redzone.
As much as I want to predict a 14 plus point win for SDSU I think its likely to come down to the last possession or 2 like most competitive MVFC games do. I'd be surprised if either team lays an egg and gets blown out.
