Boise State won last years’ meeting 28-14. This was a lot closer than most expected, so the Broncos will be looking to dominate this game like they have in many games this year. The Broncos have won eight of the last nine game against the Lobos, and with a win this year it will make it three wins in a row.
Boise State Broncos
The Broncos kept their title hopes alive by beating Fresno State last week. The Broncos were down 17-3 before rallying to squeeze out a must win. Because of this win, the Broncos stay hot on Utah State’s tail for the Mountain division.
Like many teams in the past, the Broncos have a potent passing attack. Their quarterback, Brett Rypien has thrown for 3048 yards and has 25 touchdowns. This is return has allowed the Broncos to average 313.9 yards per game through the air. They should have no trouble moving the ball down field against a poor New Mexico pass defense.

The past two weeks for the Broncos defense have been solid overall. Especially last week against a good Fresno State team, the Broncos were able to shut down the Bulldogs offense for most of the second half, which allowed them to win.
New Mexico Lobos
The Lobos started conference play 1-0, but have now lost five in a row. With only three wins, the Lobos have clearly been eliminated from the bowl season. Their only motivation should be to eliminate their fellow division rival from the opportunity to repeat as conference champions
The Lobos may average 30.2 points per game, but overall they do not have very good offensive stats. Their quarterback, Sheriron Jones has only thrown for 1311 yards this season. He has thrown 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Their leading rusher is Tyrone Owens, who has 628 yards on the ground and 7 touchdowns. During their five game losing streak, the Lobos have not scored more than 24 points in a game, which will need to change if they are going to pull the upset.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The defense for the Lobos has pretty much been torched this entire year. Their pass defense especially as they allow an average of 280.9 yards per game. Since Boise State is a pass first team, the Lobos’ secondary will be the key to shut down Boise State.
