This is an interesting matchup as New Mexico needs to run the ball, yet it is facing a team that has been able to stop the run consistently. The Broncos have done a great job at limiting better offenses than New Mexico thus far. Offensively, Boise State has been pretty consistent, but New Mexico actually has a defense that is better than it shows. They are giving up limited yards despite a lot of points because of being put in poor field position. Look for this game to go under as both defenses have their moments at keeping the opposing offense from breaking loose.
