Alabama vs. New Mexico State preview: When the Aggies have the ball

If you’ve not heard about the New Mexico State Aggies, here’s a quick recap of their last few years: Coach Doug Martin spent 5 years improving the Aggies, getting them up to a fairly respectable 50th ranked offense by S&P+ by 2017 and a 7-5 record, which got them to their first bowl game in 57 years.

Neat, huh?

Except then they got dumped from the SunBelt conference, and spent 2018 as an independent. Couple that with the 2017 squad being senior-laden, and last season saw the Aggies drop to only 3 wins and 123rd overall by S&P+.
