The New Mexico State Aggies ended their career in the Sun Belt with a big splash as they ended their bowl drought and did it with a huge win against Utah State in the Arizona Bowl. Now the Aggies look to keep that momentum going Thursday night.

The Minnesota Gophers are looking to have yet another successful season as their season is going to be surrounded by the new passing game they have brought into the system.
New Mexico State Aggies
Meet the New Mexico State Aggies quarterback Nick Jeanty who has had the most career starts on the roster with five starts to his name. The Aggies are going to need their quarterback to step up huge as they have yet to have a powerful passing game.
Jeanty in his career has passed for 1,028 yards, along with six touchdowns and interceptions. Some other notable pickups for the Aggies will be Matthew Romero who is coming in as a transfer quarterback.
Romero finished his junior college career with throwing for 5,489 yards and 49 touchdowns which was impressive by all means.

The best part about all of this, is the news that all of the offensive lineman will be returning for the Aggies. This is huge as the Aggies have one of the most built lines in the nation. Especially now in their new conference.
Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are hopeful they can get another bowl victory as they head into this season with a winnable game against the New Mexico State Aggies. As stated above, the Aggies are looking to showcase their new offense, as the Gophers need to do the same.
Last season, the Gophers had one of the worst passing offensives in the league as they only had seven touchdown last fall. Now they had an excellent running game which was hard to stop, but adding a passing game could make them a legit threat.

One of the reasons why the Gophers need to unleash the long ball is due to an injury of running back Shannon Brooks who will miss the whole season. Now the running back duties will rely on Rodney Smith who is closing in on the school record for purpose yards.
