I believe Martin will have the kinks worked out after the lack luster spring games. Wadley has done solid work against NMSU but Dimel's hair pulling play calling are expected to continue no matter which O.C. in the booth. Dimel has final say.UTEP vs New Mexico State Prediction, Game Preview

Agree. UTEP has a ton of experience and NMSU has very little. UTEP should have a dominating performance. 38 - 17.
31-6 is dominating. Especially, when you factor in the 512 to 193 yards and 7.1 to 4.3 yards per play advantage.
It does. Notice that only 4 of top 22 on offense are seniors and only 3 of top 22 on defense. If this team turns out to be good, lookout in 2022.
I mean all these guys are classified the same as last year, right? Because of COVID.
Did not say there was an advantage. I said if this team is good this year then they should be even better in 2022. That would apply any year when a good team returns a lot of starters and depth. We still don't know if we have a good team this year but I'm expecting them to be improved.
Fair enough. Just pointing out (CUSA-centric) all teams have built-in depth because of the extra year.
Apparently it has it's challenges up and down the world of college football.
True. With the delta variant influence striking fear in the hearts of fb fans, I could be off by 4.9k.
These next 3-4 years are going to be interesting in college football. Guys that were freshmen last year could be at a school for six years and maybe 7 if they have an injury. That's going to be just crazy!
I'm only one person, but I'm super excited for the season to start! I just really like football though.
Of course he is. He just received a large pay raise and a contract extension for accomplishing nothing.
Well, who cares? That is NMSU’s money
Nothing much. The team is looking a lot better this week. Couple of players we'll be counting on have been dinged up. One thing that I have noticed this week is Gavin has started throwing the ball to more people than just Jacob and Justin. Tyrin Smith is our best slot receiver. Dennis Barnes is the fastest player on the team, but can really only run a few routes effectively. Jakolby has started throwing some deep balls. This kids looks really good with our 3rd and 4th string guys going against the 2nd team defense. Don't know how much of a drop off is between the 1st and 2nd, but they simply cant stop him. Been seeing a lot of 4 wide. The running game looks pretty good out of it actually. They've been throwing the ball to the backs a little bit out of it as well. I'm not sold on the defense. The pass rush is taking too long to apply pressure and the secondary is having a hard time holding up. Linebackers look ok when they're kept clean, but that seems to be an issue as well. Could be by design though because the tackles seem to be playing a one gap scheme and only one of our DTs (Kelton Moss) looks to be big enough to hold up in a two gap. Overall, the team looks to be faster. Practices are more competitive this year, with more guys getting on teammates who seem to not be focused.
No way 5K Miner fans go now. Plus, it reeks of cow shit up there.
I would like to think our offense line and wide receivers are so talented that they are making the defensive line and secondary look average.
That very well could be the case. I just expected our D line to be the best unit on the team.
going for 4 straight. The last time UTEP football beat Las Cruces the current 4th year seniors were in high school. Frustrating. If the streak isn't broken I say we're in for a really terrible season overall.
So you're saying there's a chance....
