I like our chances in this game. They may be extra motivated by adding their head coach back but we are on a roll and at home which will make the difference.
I would be more worried if we were on the road. I expect New Mexico to be pumped with getting their head coach back after his health scare. That could add some motivation to them but I like our defense much better this season and our offense really took off with Freeze on the sidelines. I think we win by two scores at least.
Getting a win over a Mountain West school would look good as they might be the best G5 conference this season.
I was at the game tonight. Great atmosphere, light crowd. I’d guess the number they reported was accurate 17,000+. The stadium looked about 2/3 full. Boy, that wasn’t the game I was expecting, but I’ll take the W!
