The UTEP Miners (1 - 9) are taking to the road this week as they play the New Mexico State Aggies (1 - 9). New Mexico State will be hosting this game at the Aggie Memorial Stadium in Las Cruces, NM. UTEP will be taking the field with a team that has lost nine-straight-games. New Mexico State will be coming into this game with a similar losing streak to break free from. New Mexico State figures to be favored in what could be a close and ugly game.

UTEP comes into this game scoring just 18 PPG on offense. The UTEP Miners are paced by the ailing play of QB Kai Locksley (871 yards, 3 TD, 4 INT). Without any stability at quarterback, UTEP hasn't been able to summon up consistent scoring opportunities. To make matters worse, UTEP is surrendering nearly 36 PPG to opposing teams on defense. UTEP bleeds yardage on the ground which is an area that the Aggies could aim to exploit.

New Mexico State comes into this game scoring just 19 PPG on offense while surrendering 41 PPG on defense. New Mexico State hasn't been able to do much lately, but the Aggies are coming off of their first win of the season by way of UIW. Look for New Mexico State to play with confidence as they seek to connect victories. On the New Mexico State sideline, we expect running back Jason Huntley (794 yards, 6 TDs) to be busy throughout the game.

A battle between a couple of horrible teams here is going to make for an entertaining game. The difference is the Aggies have an offense that will run away with this game fairly early on and not look back. We like New Mexico State to defeat UTEP in this game. Final Score Prediction, New Mexico State Aggies win and cover ATS 37-24.
