Nunez expected to make his first start
Brandon Nunez is expected to make his first start of the season in Tuesday’s matchup at Florida International, Nick Coppola of Las Cruces Sun News reports.
The quarterback situation at New Mexico State has been an absolute carrousel this season, and Nunez will have a shot to see if he can earn the starting job under center ahead of the final weeks of the regular season. Nunez went 4-for-7 for 49 yards and ran six times for 30 yards and two touchdowns in the win over La Tech in NMSU’s most recent game.
Jones “ready to roll” for Panthers
Aarmi Jones (shoulder) is “ready to roll” as Florida International’s quarterback while the team prepares for its game Tuesday against New Mexico State, Kevin Barral of Sports Illustrated reports.
A shoulder injury prevented Jones from participating in Florida International’s latest game. However, the update indicates he is available for FIU’s next matchup. The timing is excellent for him, considering Florida International’s QB1 spot is wide open. Jones will be competing against Keyone Jenkins and Chayden Peery for the coveted role.

New Mexico State vs. Florida International Prediction
I’m taking FIU to go over 26.5 points (the over has been juiced to -130). New Mexico State has one of the worst defenses in college football this season. The Aggies have allowed at least 27 points in six straight games. Over that span, they allowed over 45 points three times. They’re horrendous. And their quarterback tonight will make his first start of the season. I’m seeing a lot of stalled drives and plenty of opportunities for FIU to score points.
New Mexico State vs. Florida International Prediction: FIU Panthers over 26.5 Points (-130)
