Fresno State vs New Mexico Game Preview

Why Fresno State Will Win

The Bulldogs got their groove back.

On a four game losing streak with nothing working quite right and without a win over an FBS team, the defense rose up against the run and QB Logan Fife came through in a 17-10 win over a red hot San Jose State.

This week it’s about the defense against a New Mexico offense that’s miserable on third downs, doesn’t do anything from the passing game, and averages just 261 yards per game.

Score 14 points and that might be enough to get this done.

NFL Expert Picks, Week 7

Why New Mexico Will Win

It’s not like the Fresno State offense went off against San Jose State.

With QB Jake Haener still hurting, Fife is expected to get the call. While he came through against San Jose State, he has just one touchdown pass with five picks.

The Bulldog offensive line is struggling, the defense doesn’t force takeaways, and the Lobo defense is just good enough to keep the score low and hang around.

However …

What’s Going To Happen

Fresno State came up with its first four takeaways of the year over the last three weeks, but New Mexico failed to generate a turnover in either of the last two games.

Don’t expect a lot of points or excitement, but it’ll be close and tight late. Fresno State will still struggle offensively, but two takeaways from the defense will save the day.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Fresno State vs New Mexico Game Preview


Why New Mexico Will Win

The Lobos lost to a UNLV team/program that hadn’t come up with a victory in almost two full seasons, but they ran well.

Consider it a minor plus that they were able to generate their first 200-yard rushing day of the season – coming up with 260 yards – and they have to try controlling the clock as much as possible against a Fresno State team that’s going to try scoring in a hurry.

The Bulldogs get penalized a whole lot, they’re giving up a few rushing yards – allowing 187 in the blowout loss to Boise State – and …

Why Fresno State Will Win

New Mexico doesn’t score.

It got 17 against UNLV, and that was a whole lot for a team that hadn’t scored more than 14 in the previous six games. The offense worked against Houston Baptist – relatively speaking – and New Mexico State, and then it failed to get to 300 yards over the next seven games.

Fresno State won’t take many chances, but the passing game should put up 250 yards or more without too much of an issue, and then everything is on cruise control because …

What’s Going To Happen

New Mexico is last in the nation in first downs, third down conversions, and it’s the second-worst in scoring.

After getting rocked by Boise State last week, Fresno State will get it back in a hurry. It’ll take a quarter to get into a groove, and then the avalanche will come – it’s still in the hunt for the Mountain West, West Divison chase.

The Lobos won’t be able to score nearly enough to keep up after halftime.
