As bad as the offense struggled to run the ball last year, the defense gave up yards to opposing offenses with great ease. The Spartan defense was one of the worst in the nation against the run, allowing 259 yards/game and gave up 34.5 points/game also. Seven starters return on the defensive side of the ball and will be led by newly minted defensive coordinator Kent Baer (previously LB coach here). The defensive line played a large role in how awful the rush defense was last season. DE Carl Ihenacho was their most consistent performer a year ago and departed, but they do have five players with starting experience up front. Pompey Festejo is solid in the middle of the Spartan defense and ranked third on the team in tackles with 83 in 09'. Tiuke Tuipulotu will make the move from safety to linebacker after collected 52 tackles in the secondary. He will likely be on the smallest linebackers in the country at 205 pounds. SS Duke Ihenacho is the most talented player on defense for SJSU. His 89 tackles were second on the team and he earned 1st team WAC honors for his play last season. FS Tanner Burns led the team in tackles as a sophomore and is a gifted player in his own right. While this defense won't be confused for one of the best units in the WAC, they should show a considerable amount of improvement against the run.

Defending national champion Alabama will get their 2010 season started with a home game vs. San Jose State on the opening weekend of college football. The Spartans then travel to Big Ten country and face-off against the Badgers of Wisconsin. WAC plays opens on October 9th at Nevada. The following week they will host national title contender Boise State. The schedule is front loaded with really tough match-ups for this team, but if they can get through those games fairly healthy their should be some opportunity to win a couple games down the stretch. I believe they win a total of 3 games.
