Utah State vs New Mexico Game Preview


Why Utah State Will Win

The New Mexico offense still doesn’t work.

At all.

One score might just do it, and that’s not an exaggeration. The Lobos haven’t scored more than 17 points in any of the last nine games and only scored more than 14 in one of those – a loss to UNLV.

After last week’s total clunker against Wyoming, the Aggies will come out roaring.
