Matthew Coleman – Wide Receiver (Questionable, undisclosed)

Matthew Coleman is questionable for Saturday with an undisclosed issue. If unavailable, the Spartans may need to rely even more heavily on Danny Scudero, who was their main playmaker in the opener.

San Jose State vs. Texas Prediction

Arch Manning and the Longhorns offense struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities against Ohio State, converting just one of five fourth-down attempts and coming away empty twice inside the 10-yard line.

Manning finished 17-of-30 for 170 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in his first start as Texas’ full-time quarterback. While the defense looked sharp, holding the Buckeyes under 300 total yards, Texas will be looking for a much cleaner showing in its home opener.

San Jose State moved the ball through the air in Week 1, with quarterback Walker Eget throwing for over 300 yards. Still, the Spartans were hurt by two interceptions and couldn’t slow Central Michigan’s ground game, giving up over 230 rushing yards. Facing Texas’ defensive front in Austin will be an even steeper challenge.

Expect Texas to use its rushing attack early and give Manning opportunities for downfield shots against a shaky Spartans secondary. With the home crowd behind them, the Longhorns have a prime opportunity to reset their season and cruise to a comfortable win.
