Oregon hosts its third opponent of the season on Saturday in San Jose State. The game is set to kickoff at 2 PM. It will be carried on the Pac-12 Networks.

San Jose State is searching for its first win of the 2018 season after dropping games to UC-Davis (44-38) and Washington State (31-0) to open the season. The Spartans struggled mightily to move the ball against the Cougars on Saturday. They concluded the game with just 109 yards. Only nine of those came on the ground, as they averaged fewer than one yard per carry in the defeat (0.4).

Today, we'll let you know what the stats say about San Jose State in this week's By The Numbers:

Pass-heavy, run-heavy or balanced?

Running plays/yards (average): 61/150 (2.5 ypc)

Mountain West rushing rank: 12th (12 teams)

Passing plays/yards (average): 43/465 (5.8 ypa)

Mountain West passing rank: Seventh

Run/pass play ratio: 58.6 % run/31.2 % pass

Run/pass yard ratio: 24.4% run/75.6 % pass

Total yardage: 615 (307.5)

Mountain West total offense rank: 11th

Points scored: 19.0 ppg

Mountain West scoring offense: 12th

Summary: The gist of it is this: through two games in 2018, San Jose State has had the worst offense in the Mountain West. They've been about as bad as you could be in two games. Only five schools in the country rank worse running the ball thus far this season, and only three have more meager yards per carry than the Spartans. Even the passing numbers aren't great, as they have the fourth worst completion percentage in the Mountain West, with just 52.3-percent of passes of being caught. The numbers are largely skewed from Saturday's beatdown in Pullman, but it's pretty evident, that the Spartans won't be breaking any stadium records on Saturday — at least not any positive ones.

Offensive Stars for San Jose State

For the second straight week, the Ducks' top opposing offensive weapon will be a tight end. Last week Portland State's Charlie Taumoepeau acted as the biggest threat (he scored both Viking touchdowns), and this week it will be SJSU's Josh Oliver. Oliver leads the team in receptions (13) and is second in yards (137) this season. His 51 yards against the Cougars made up nearly half the team's gain from scrimmage. Receiver Bailey Gaither debuted with a six-catch, 137-yard and two-touchdown game against UC-Davis, but had just three yards on two catches last week.

The Spartans rotated between sophomore Montel Aaron and junior Josh Love in the opener. Aaron showed the better fit, connecting on 13-fo-19 passes for two scores and 254 yards. He got the nod and made ever significant pass attempt against the Cougars. He did struggle, however, going just 13-of-25 for 94 yards.

The team's running game is looking for answers. Three backs have 10 or more rushes this season, but none have more than 80 yards on the ground. The team's leader is Tyler Nevnes with 79 yards and both of the team's rushing touchdowns. He did not play in the team's loss at Pullman. Both DeJon Packer (10 carries for 41 yards) and Malike Roberson (13 for 35) figure to get looks on Saturday.

-Season stats-

Top passer: Montel Aaron (JR. )— 26-for-44, 348 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs

Top rusher: Tyler Nevens (SOPH.) — 18 carries, 79 yards (4.4 ypc), 2 TDs.

Better against the run or the pass?

Rushing yardage allowed: 133.5

Mountain West rush defense rank: Sixth (12 teams)

Passing yardage allowed: 433.0

Mountain West pass defense rank: 12th

Total yardage allowed: 565.5

Mountain West total yardage rank: 11th

Points allowed: 37.5

Mountain West scoring rank: 11th

Summary: So, not only have the Spartans been dominated when they have the football, but opponents have done the same when they have it too. You could try to laud the team's rushing defense, before you recognize that UC-Davis quarterback Jake Meier threw for 446 yards, and WSU's Gardner Minshew threw for 414. Through two games, the Spartans ranked second to last nationally defending the pass.
