The Aggies must have lost their star running back.

NMSU lost their best tackler and defensive player and Rose is out. According to Kug, they have a fast tempo offense and receivers who are good, but they can't control the clock unlike UTEP can. They do have a big O line but do not have the experience as compared to UTEP. Kug expects some trick plays from them on Saturday, so he's telling the team to watch for everything and anything. So in other words, possibly expect a Coach Briles, a la Houston Cougar days, bag o' tricks type of game.
