Fresno State (6-4, 3-3 Western Athletic Conference) and San Jose State (6-5, 4-3 WAC) will square off in a show down on Friday night in an ESPN2 game. The Spartans need to win Friday in order to be assured a bowl berth, and most likely, the Bulldogs do too. SJSU may win, it may not.

Injuries have plagued the Spartans for the past few weeks (Kyle Reed, Yonus Davis, Carl Ihenacho and Jeff Schweiger, to name a few). When I asked Coach Tomey on Monday what the Spartans’ quarterback situation would be come game day after starting quarterback Kyle Reed got injured last week, he said a game-time decision would determine who would start. I asked Tomey if Reed would be healthy enough to play if the game were to be played Tuesday and he said, “The game isn’t tomorrow!”

I got the impression that Reed may not be playing this week (or Tomey is trying to make the Bulldogs second guess who the starter indeed is). If Reed doesn’t start, I’m not expecting the Spartans to win. If Reed does play, however, I’ll side with the Spartans.

Prediction(s):
With Reed — SJSU 24, Fresno State 21
Without Reed — Fresno State 21, SJSU 10
