Montana State Bobcats vs. New Mexico Lobos

Have you ever ever seen a staff turn into so underrated that it’s overrated? 

That’s what has occurred right here in Albuquerque. Montana State is an excellent FCS staff, one which’s able to profitable the nationwide championship if a pair breaks go its method. New Mexico is a poor FBS staff, and it solely brings again 9 starters from final season.

However the concept that the Bobcats needs to be giving two touchdowns on the street to a program with an additional 22 scholarships is somewhat ridiculous.

The Rainbow Warriors return greater than 80 p.c of final yr’s offense, and quarterback Brayden Schager has been given free reign to alter issues up if he sees one thing within the protection. In opposition to the Hornets, he’s prone to see lots and pretty usually.
