5 Players to Watch: The New Mexico Bowl

The New Mexico Bowl takes place this Saturday and features the dynamic offense of Fresno State going up against UTEP from Conference USA. Both teams have a bunch of talented players, and here are five that you should be keeping your eye on.

1- Jake Haener (Fresno State)

Haener is one of the best passers in the country and should have a huge day against this UTEP defense. The second team All-Mountain West quarterback will be an early favorite to win MVP honors in this game.

2- Gavin Hardison (UTEP)

I’m not sure if the UTEP quarterback has the talent around him that Haener does, but he has proven to be a reliable passer this season and is a big reason the Miners are bowl eligible.
