Nevada vs New Mexico State Game Preview

Why Nevada Will Win

There’s a whole lot of starting over going on at New Mexico State.

Jerry Kill is taking over as the head coach, and he’s going to want to run the ball, rely on the defense, and try to control the clock and be efficient – that’s going to take a little bit to get going with almost everyone who did anything big for the 2021 Aggie offense needing to be replaced.

Nevada is changing a slew of things up as well, but it has the running backs in place to pound away, and the passing attack should be just good enough to keep things moving.

The New Mexico State defense should be better, but it will still have a long way to go after giving up close to 500 yards and 40 points per game. However …

Why New Mexico State Will Win

There’s a whole lot of starting over going on at Nevada.

New head coach Ken Wilson has to fill in the parts after Jay Norvell left for Colorado State and took a slew of key guys with him. The Wolf Pack lost almost everyone who did anything important with their high-powered passing game last year.

There’s a ton of experience returning on the Aggie D. The O might have a few kinks to work out, but the other side gets back eight starters, the linebacking corps isn’t all that bad, and there are options to play around with in the secondary.

Yes, New Mexico State’s offense isn’t going to be steady, but the Nevada defense needs to hope and pray the transfers can help fill in the massive holes all over the place.

What’s Going To Happen

Kill is a terrific head coach who should be able to get his ground game going early on. The Aggies will play relatively well over the first half at home, but Nevada should get an instant payoff from the gajillion transfers coming in.

A few New Mexico State turnovers will help Nevada start to break away in the second half. The relative experience at quarterback – Nate Cox has been around the Wolf Pack long enough to know what he’s doing, and Oklahoma State transfer Shane Illingworth will play a role – will be the difference.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Nevada vs New Mexico State Game Preview


Why New Mexico State Will Win

The offense is playing okay.

The team might not be winning, but he passing game has averaged just over 300 yards over the last three games with Jonah Johnson growing into the gig over the last two weeks.

San Jose State might not be the team of last year, but the D is still okay – Johnson hit it for 300 yards and three touchdowns last week.

Nevada’s defense is having issues on third downs and will give up just enough big plays to matter.

Week 6 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Nevada Will Win

New Mexico State’s secondary is giving up bombs.

Hawaii and San Jose State each cranked up over ten yards per pass, and now it’s Carson Strong’s turn with a Nevada offense that’s ninth in the nation in passing.

The Wolf Pack offense should keep things on the ground as much as it wants to – the New Mexico State defense doesn’t do anything against teams that commit to the run – and there isn’t enough of a pass rush to bother Strong, so …

What’s Going To Happen

Nevada will get up fast with the offense putting up a big number in the first quarter.

New Mexico State will get a few late points to make the score look cosmetically strong, but Nevada will hit 200 rushing yards for the first time all season to go along with a few big downfield pass plays to open it up.
