Why New Mexico State can cover
The Aggies have proven to be an above average team on the offensive side of the ball. They have rushed for 777 yards in five games as a team (155.4 yards per game), which is the fourth-best per game average in Conference USA. Junior running back Seth McGowan leads the way with 334 yards and two touchdowns on 58 carries.
This game will likely come down to NMSU’s ability to slow down the Jacksonville State offense. The Aggies allow 35 points and 462.2 total yards per game. Jax State has a strong rushing attack, and NMSU is allowing 233.2 yards per game on the ground. If head coach Tony Sanchez can get his team to commit to stopping the run, they will likely be able to stay within striking distance. See which team to pick here.
