Utah State vs New Mexico State Game Preview


Why Utah State Will Win

New Mexico State’s offense is playing relatively well. It’s not playing like Utah State’s is.

It might have been an inconsistent year overall, but the Aggies are on a three-game winning streak with the passing game that’s clicking, the defense that’s holding on in tight games, and with just enough of a running game when it needs it.
