LSU vs New Mexico Game Preview
Why New Mexico Will Win
The Lobos are scoring a little bit.
They’re not ripping it up, but they’re averaging 27 points per game – that’s a lot considering how rough it was to get things moving last year.

What’s Going To Happen
New Mexico will come up with a few takeaways and be just annoying enough defensively to make LSU fans a little bit grouchy.
The Tiger running game will take over, the offense will rise up in the second quarter to take control, and there won’t be any sort of a threat from the Lobo O to make anyone sweat.
It won’t be a perfect performance, but it’s all starting to build under Brian Kelly.
