Q&A With Mountain West Connection Discussing New Mexico Football

Tomorrow is no doubt a big game for Rutgers football and an opportunity to gain confidence ahead of the start of Big Ten conference play. However, New Mexico no slouch, as they finished 2015 with a 7-6 record and a bowl appearance. It’s true they suffered a bad loss last weekend to in-state rival New Mexico State and are missing two of their best players for the Rutgers game. Even so, the triple option and strong running game of the Lobos, currently ranked 7th in the nation, should pose a big test for the Rutgers defense. I was fortunate to trade questions with the managing editor of the Mountain West Connection, the SB Nation site for all of the Mountain West Conference.
