This is the only place on earth where one can find out the year New Mexico State switched from grass to turf within minutes of calling it out. Way ahead of ESPN (again) tonight.

Game just got delayed due to a lightening strike with a completely clear weather radar.

Is that accurate. I thought they were supposed to be quite bad after everyone went to CSU

They look like a G5 team. QB has above average athleticism but he’s not going to kill you with his arm. Defense looks 🤷‍♂️ meh. MN “should” be able to move the lin, move ball on ground but we know how that goes. The only thing that can defeat MN is MN. They don’t look as bad as advertised, I’ll allow.

Any given day a bad G5 team can beat a poorly coached sleepwalking P5.
 



More flags in this game than both teams’ first downs combined 🤦🏻‍♂️
 



Their defense isn’t great but plays pretty hard

This is my takeaway as well. Granted, I still think the Gophers are going to roll in this game, but I don't necessarily think this NMSU team will be the worst team in the country by the end of the year.

Offense looked pretty decent before the delay. Lot of horizontal movement. Short passes taking advantage of zone coverage.

I’ve only watched after the delay but they might have more turnover than yards post delay
 

NMST is absolutely terrible! They haven’t even scored on their own! Nevada gave them their 2 points. If we don’t demolish them 70-0 on Thursday, I’d be surprised and disappointed.

By the end of this game, Nevada will be rolling over NMST 45-2.
 


If Fleck really wants to rub it in....the Gophers could easily cover the 37.5. NMSU is BAD.

They missed a chip shot field goal and have gifted Nevada like four (now five) straight turnovers. Rossi's defense is going to roll this team, but they aren't _that_ bad. Y'all have to keep in mind the perspective on this team is that they would be the worst FBS team in the country. That's what's priced into the 38-point line. They do not look like the _worst_ team in the country.

I do have to wonder if Kill is going to throw the ball _at all_ next week. We've seen him decide not to throw before against SJSU.
 

I don't see how the Aggies are going to be able to score any points on the Gophers. QB is awful. Gophers can win this 38-0 and cover the -37.5 spread.

Any vertical passes? I remember that element was a foreign concept during his gopher years.
 


Watching this, I really do hope they come out and try stomp them in the first half rather than play the slow conservative style throughout. I’d rather not see any of TM, MI, CRAB or any of the first time OL needing to play in the second half. There are some positions were thin at and you don’t want to lose someone in the second half if a game that should be out of reach early
