The 49ers did not lose the game because of one person or one specific drive or even one coaching decision. But, if you were to look around social media or ask fans, you’d think San Francisco just got blown out by the San Jose State Spartans.
The 49ers' success rate through the air was 52%, with 42% of those plays turning into first downs. On third and fourth down, that success rate jumped to 69%. The trouble came on first and second down, where San Francisco had a negative EPA both on the ground and in the air.
