San Jose State vs New Mexico State Game Preview
Why New Mexico State Will Win
The defense isn’t all that bad at coming up with takeaways thanks to just enough pressure to matter.

What’s Going To Happen
San Jose State needs to come up with a win to try kickstarting the season.

They’ll score on the first few drives, the defense will generate a few takeaways, and the game will get away from the Aggies in a hurry.
