But to finish the season matters even more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the finishing Brennan\u2019s referring to is coach speak for winning.<\/p>\n<p>For that to happen, San Jose State (7-4), a 3.5-point favorite, will need to remain careful with the ball while trusting its strength can trump the greatest strength of Eastern Michigan (8-4), its pass defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to win the turnover battle,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cIt always starts with that for us. And we\u2019ve got to play with great effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to protecting the football, only USC has turned the ball over as few times as the Spartans\u2014just six times this season.<\/p>\n<p>That stat got the attention of Eastern Michigan coach Chris Creighton \u2014 so much so that it was the first thing he mentioned when addressing how his team could pull an upset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt a hundred percent starts with taking care of the ball and taking the ball away,\u201d said Creighton, who\u2019s attempting to lead the Eagles to only their second bowl victory in school history. \u201cI don\u2019t know a coach in America that doesn\u2019t believe in that. But how many of us are able to execute that successfully? Well, the answer is San Jose State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While San Jose State is plus-12 in the turnover battle, Eastern Michigan finished the season at net zero with 17 takeaways and 17 giveaways.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"related left\"><h2 class=\"widget-title\" data-curated-ids=\"\" data-relation-type=\"automatic-primary-tag\">Related Articles<\/h2><ul><li>\n\n<div class=\"entry-section\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/sports\/college-sports\/\">College Sports | <\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<a class=\"article-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/2022\/12\/29\/moore-and-san-jose-state-win-75-72-in-ot-against-unlv-2\/\" title=\"San Jose State beats UNLV in OT to open Mountain West play with win for first time\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"dfm-title metered\">\n\t\t\tSan Jose State beats UNLV in OT to open Mountain West play with win for first time\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n<\/li><li>\n\n<div class=\"entry-section\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/sports\/college-sports\/\">College Sports | <\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<a class=\"article-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/2022\/12\/21\/sjsu-football-spartans-recruiting-class-includes-five-with-local-ties\/\" title=\"SJSU football: Spartans&#8217; recruiting class includes five with local ties\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"dfm-title premium\">\n\t\t\tSJSU football: Spartans&#8217; recruiting class includes five with local ties\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n<\/li><li>\n\n<div class=\"entry-section\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/sports\/college-sports\/\">College Sports | <\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<a class=\"article-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/2022\/12\/20\/san-jose-state-lays-an-egg-in-potato-bowl\/\" title=\"San Jose State lays an egg in Potato Bowl\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"dfm-title premium\">\n\t\t\tSan Jose State lays an egg in Potato Bowl\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n<\/li><li>\n\n<div class=\"entry-section\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/sports\/college-sports\/\">College Sports | <\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<a class=\"article-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/2022\/12\/19\/brent-brennan-is-trying-to-change-sjsus-reputation-in-the-college-football-world\/\" title=\"Brent Brennan is trying to change SJSU&#8217;s reputation in the college football world\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"dfm-title premium\">\n\t\t\tBrent Brennan is trying to change SJSU&#8217;s reputation in the college football world\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n<\/li><\/ul><\/aside>\n<p>However, the Eagles have made strides in that department. After losing the turnover battle in their first seven games, they were plus-10 over the last five games.<\/p>\n<p>But the matchup that will likely be the most pivotal in determining the outcome is how well Eastern Michigan can defend against San Jose State\u2019s air attack.<\/p>\n<p>Spartans quarterback Chevan Cordeiro has thrown for 2,884 yards this season, including 20 touchdowns to just four interceptions. As a team, San Jose State ranked 33rd in the nation in passing offense, averaging 264 yards a game through the air.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern Michigan\u2019s pass defense, on the other hand, limits opponents to an average of 210.4 yards per game, the 40th best in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Eagles\u2019 youth in the secondary where all five starters are sophomores, defensive coordinator Neal Neathery runs an unconventional 4-2-5 defense. He\u2019ll be relying on MAC defensive player of the year Jose Ramirez to generate pressure up front, something the senior has done well, leading the country in sacks per-game average with 12 total on the season.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the Eagles\u2019 success in the secondary has been bolstered by Ramirez and the ability of the Eagles\u2019 defensive front to get after quarterbacks. And Ramirez seemed excited about the challenge of facing Cordeiro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen other dual-threat quarterbacks this season,\u201d Ramirez said. \u201cWe\u2019re just going to attack (Cordeiro) like we\u2019ve been coached to attack all the other ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With both teams at full strength \u2014 no players have opted out \u2014 could the weather be a deciding factor? The forecast calls for a 30 percent chance of snow and temperatures in the low 30s.<\/p>\n<p>The Spartans weren\u2019t slowed much in the snow and cold at Utah State a month ago, though they did lose 35-31.<\/p>\n<p>As for the opposition\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, we\u2019re from Michigan,\u201d Eagles quarterback Taylor Powell said. \u201cWe play in pretty crappy weather every day.
