Comments

Air Force should win this one handily. New Mexico’s defense is very poor giving up almost 500 yards per contest. However, the Lobos defense is a little better against the run but that could be because of the wide open MWC passing attacks. Furthermore, just because you can stop the conventional run doesn’t mean you can stop the option.
