I've got a feeling it's going to be one extreme or the other.

Since the 21-30 pt offense is what we've seen most of the season against quality opponents, that's what I'm going with. I have to pick that which is most likely to occur based on recent history. If we're sub 20 points, we lost.

I predict right around 27 points scored by our offense. But, I also get the feeling that it could be 30+ as it might turn into a shootout of sorts as this is probably the best offense we’ve seen all year. I don’t expect as many crucial mistakes by our defense this week, but they have too many weapons to be shutdown. I do expect our run game to be fairly efficient against their defense, which will be crucial considering the injuries on the offensive line and how that hurts us in pass blocking. I think the SDSU QB will throw 2 picks leading to short drives for our offense. He seems to be inconsistent at times and isn’t the most accurate thrower by any means. He can certainly extend plays so we must maintain our gaps and get a few hits on him early. It’ll be interesting to see if we run a spy with #97 Daka, which I predict.

I think this will be less about points scored and way more about point differential. HCMH is going to open and close the playbook to the score. Unless we break some big runs on base "option" runs through a porous defense, and/or we totally shut down their offense, I expect this one to be within a two score game throughout.
