Watching NMSU dismantle Auburn made me less sanguine about our chances. NMSU is a run-first team, & we could not stop the run against Liberty in the 4th quarter when they ran it down our throats. Auburn averaged (if I heard the announcers correctly) over 200 yards pg & NMSU shut them down. We're a run first (almost run-only) team, so I'm a bit... concerned.
If we only had a pass game that didn't make me close my eyes every time the qb dropped back.

Does anyone know how bad or what the status of J-Rock is? I hate he got hurt and was in that much pain. It looked brutal.

Haven't heard, but based on what I saw at the game, I'd be surprised if he were back as soon as this Saturday. I'm not a doctor, though, so I'm basing this purely off of, "Your leg's not supposed to bend that way." Hoping for the best, though. Sometimes injuries can look so much more brutal than they actually are. (The reverse is also true.) Regardless, prayers are up for J-Rock. |

I'm surprised no one asked postgame. |

Just realized there's already a thread for this game, so I deleted the one I created.
Now we look ahead to our last guaranteed game.
This is one of the biggest games of the year, especially with NMSU coming off a big win against Auburn. Add the fact that the game is for 2nd place in the conference, and you've got a real banger coming up.
RR will have the boys buzzin ready to slap a big asterisk on NMSUs trip to the CCG.
This game deserves to be promoted from ESPN plus. Any chance that happens?
If we go in there and pull it off, it will set us up to get a good look from bowl committees, assuming we are eligible.
Big, enormous, huge game.

I feel better about this game than I did about Coastal, Liberty, and South Carolina.
Purely because I don't think their QB carries them as hard as say Rattler carries SC.
That said, he seems efficient. Could be a long day for us.
If we can get QB pressure and can run the ball we win.
Not that that formula should surprise anyone at this point.

If it turns into a professional wrestling contest, Im going with their QB. Has a great body slam move.

If they shut down our run game and we start chucking it trying to get big pops, could be a long day for our D. Hope everyone packs some extra #hardedge for the trip west.

At the beginning of the year I counted this as a W. I think we still win, but it will be a great game instead of a cake walk.

Mike annnounced on the radio Saturday, the stadium level had the first sellout ever. Surprised we havent had a sellout prior but the stadium level was crowded Saturday.

On paper, this should be a great game. Looking very forward to it.

This game should have been picked up by linear tv. Better than just an ESPN+ game. Hope this gets improved on in the future.
