A 19 point spread on this game is absolutely absurd, especially since it's in Albuquerque. Since they joined the Mountain West, Boise is 4-3 against triple option teams and 0-7 against the spread. Hopefully something changes tonight because they have looked like shit on defense against option attacks for quite a while now.

It is New Mexico, I wouldn't get too worried about the triple option.

It is New Mexico, I wouldn't get too worried about the triple option.

Last year we were 30.5 favorites at home and lost to them. They took a team photo on the field after the game to celebrate the moment. It was embarrassing. Two years ago we went to their place and gave up 49 points and 505 rushing yards. Two years prior to that it was a three point win. It's been ugly to say the least. If we win by one point, I'll take it.

It'll be a good game. I think both games tonight will be good ones.

I had an abusive Step-Father from New Mexico so I hope you guys r*pe them.

Since this one is AT NM i may actually watch it.

The new DC Avalos is much less aggressive than Marcel Yates was with bringing pressure and gambling to create big plays and turnovers, etc. That could be a good thing as we head into this match up against the triple option attack that we struggle to contain. The approach is resulting in less turnovers created, but also fewer explosive plays given up. If we're going to continue to get pressure on the quarterback with less blitzing and less risk taking with a front four that is really playing well, then I'm all for it.

I'm liking what I see from Avalos (so far). His defensive seems technically sound and more disciplined. Steve Caldwell has done a bang up job with the D line too. The man has been around for a while and he can coach. I really like him. We'll see how this all translates tonight. It's put up or shut up time. We should not be losing to teams like New Mexico who beat us for the first time in seven tries in 2015 and has also played us very close in recent years. That's simply not the standard. It's not acceptable.

Alright, T minus 30 minutes to blast off. Sphincters beginning to pucker.

What a lazy facemask. You have help, just contain him...

And I do not like these New Mexico helmets.

The best defense we have is our offense burning the clock

 

[pitman]

And scoring

Wilson caught 4 passes, and UNM caught two facemasks.

It's nice to have Wilson, who will go up and get the ball. We have not had that for a while
