Last year we had 10 sacks at SJSU. More or less this year?

  Last year I went to the SJSU game. Our defense lived in the backfield. I didn’t even realize that we made that many sacks. It seemed like we missed more opportunities than we made. Due to feeling we missed lots of opportunities, I was surprised when I heard the start on the way home.
  
  So this year we have them at RES. They will go from 82 ft if elevation to 4657ft.
  
  With a home field advantage do we improve on last year? If so by how much?

    Anything over 5 is a fluke, at any level.

  They seem pretty bad this year. I guess it depends on how motivated this Utah team is. I wouldn’t be suprised to see about 5 sacks.
  
  Sacks are a deceptive stat. Sometimes, like against BYU or UND, you might not get very much even though Utah got a lot of pressure on the QB. Mostly due to the QB getting the ball out quick.
  
  Utah got 10 or 11 sacks against UCLA a few years back and it was mainly due to their QB holding onto the ball way to long.

    Last year they had a mobile QB who would pull the ball down and attempt to run. This probably lead to the increased number of sacks. IIRC he was eventually knocked out for a couple of series after a hit from Chase. It was on the opposite side of the field from where we were sitting and you could still hear how crushing a hit it was. I don’t know much about their current QB, but overall they don’t look that strong this year.

      I remember that hit because I turned to my gf and said “I think chase killed a guy”

  Oh…Texas beat SJSU 56-0. Let’s see how we’ll do.

    Texas also allowed Maryland to score 51.

      That’s the point. If Texas did that, how will we do, especially against the same opponent.

        It’ll be like 20-3, knowing us. But I won’t read into it much.
