Kentucky vs New Mexico State Game Preview
Why New Mexico State Will Win
New Mexico State scored first.
It was up 3-0 on Alabama last week in Tuscaloosa, it was well on its way to a historic upset, and …
Yeah, for some reason, Alabama decided to try the rest of the way in a 59-3 win, but this is a better New Mexico State team than that.
It can’t run the ball all that well, but it throws, it has a dangerous passing attack that can keep things moving, and now it’s going against a Kentucky team that’s not trying to gear up and get ready for an SEC championship appearance and possible shot at the College Football Playoff.

What’s Going To Happen
Kentucky isn’t going to take any big chances.
It’ll run at will on the New Mexico State defensive front, it’ll convert on third downs with ease, and it’ll learn from the close call against Chattanooga early in the season and take this seriously enough to get out to a good, sharp start.
But unlike last week against Alabama, New Mexico State will put up a few points in the second half.
