Taylen Green QB vs. Jalen Mayden QB
Boise State’s Taylen Green has shown promise this season, despite a low completion percentage of 52.9%. He’s managed to accumulate 576 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. However, his 4 interceptions reveal a decision-making vulnerability that San Diego State might exploit. Green’s style tends to favor medium-range throws and he has shown resilience under pressure despite being sacked twice this season.
Jalen Mayden, the quarterback for the Aztecs, offers a slightly better completion percentage of 60.3% with 701 passing yards. Just like Green, he has 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Unfortunately, Mayden has shown vulnerability under pressure, taking 9 sacks this season. His decision-making needs improvement if San Diego State hopes to capitalize on home-field advantage.

Boise State Broncos vs. San Diego State Aztecs 9/22/23 Betting Picks
