NCAA Preview: New Mexico St. Aggies

New Mexico St. Aggies
Offensive Starters Returning…7
Defensive Starters Returning…7
Looking Back… New Mexico St. enters a new season with new expectations but in reality, it is going to be another long season in Las Cruces. The Aggies went 2-10 a season ago including 1-7 in the WAC and that made it six straight seasons that New Mexico St. has won two games or fewer against FBS teams. The good news is that head coach DeWayne Walker is in his third season and he is now coaching the kids that he recruited but another year of futility could show Walker the door with an early exit.
Statistical Recap… The Aggies were dreadful on both sides of the ball last season as they finished 112th in total offense with 296.5 ypg and 112th in total defense with 453.3 ypg. They were even worse in scoring as they averaged 15.7 ppg while allowing 39.5 ppg, 117th and 115th in the nation respectively and they were one of only five teams in the country outscored by more than three touchdowns per game. All of the numbers should get better based on the fact there is little room to get much worse.
Strengths… As mentioned, Walker is now coaching his players and not the leftovers from former coach Hal Mumme and that can make a big difference. The Aggies bring back a majority of starters on both sides of the ball so there is chemistry heading into the season. The offensive line returns four starters plus gets senior Sioeli Fakalata back who missed nearly all of last year after a season ending injury in Week One.
Weaknesses…. Where to begin? If the offense wasn't bad enough with a lack of playmakers, this season the Aggies will have to learn a new scheme as former Kent head coach Doug Martin takes over as offensive coordinator. Getting pressure on the quarterback was non-existent last season as New Mexico St. registered only nine sacks and 42 tackles for losses, both second to last in the country.
Schedule… The good news is that the Aggies do not have to play Boise St., which moved to the MWC, as they were throttled by a combined score of 208-7 over the last four years. They face Ohio at home in the season opener and a win there could provide huge confidence going forward. New Mexico St. has tough road games at Minnesota, Hawaii, Georgia and BYU and the two most winnable games, against San Jose St. and New Mexico, are on the road as well.
At The Window… The Aggies have not shown a profit since 2006-07 as they have gone 19-28 ATS the last four years. Because of such low expectations, we could see some early value in their inflated spreads.
Outlook… There has not been much progress in this program for the last few years and a step up this season is unlikely. The Aggies two wins last year came by an average of 2.0 ppg while the 10 losses were by 28.8 ppg and that differential is too much to be made up in one year. If the Aggies can win three games, it will be a successful season but do not count on much more than that.

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Sunday May 20, 2012 10:30 pm
We won with the Spurs on Saturday and we will go right back with them on Sunday. It was not a good day for the Staples Center home teams as the Clippers and Lakers blew a combined lead of 37 points and the former hurt the most as the Clippers are now down 3-0 in this series and you ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Sunday May 20, 2012 3:30 pm
We lost with the Heat in Game Three which was pretty much a must win spot for them and now this one turns into a definite one. A loss here and the series isn't over for Miami but it is pretty close so its needs to tie this one up before heading back home for Game Five. The Heat have ... read more

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers Saturday May 19, 2012 10:30 pm
The Lakers were able to climb back into the series last night with a win over Oklahoma City to pull to within a game. It will be short-lived though as these teams play again Saturday in the second of a back-to-back playoff set at Staples Center. It was obviously a must win for Los ... read more

Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros Saturday May 19, 2012 7:15 pm
The Rangers took the opener of this series last night to improve to 25-15 overall including 14-6 on the road. Those 14 road wins are tied with Baltimore for the most in the American League and they have built a five-game lead in the American League West. Derek Holland gets the call ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Saturday May 19, 2012 3:30 pm
This is a big weekend for the Clippers which would love nothing more than to sweep the two games played in Los Angeles to even up this series but it simply will not happen. They likely will not even win one of the games as they are clearly overmatched against one of the most efficient ... read more

Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Friday May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
We played on the Sixers Wednesday and they certainly came up small as Boston was able to grab back the home court edge after a home split in the first two games. This makes Philadelphia in a prime situation on Friday in a chance to even up this series at home. The Sixers were embarrassed ... read more

Baltimore Orioles @ Washington Nationals Friday May 18, 2012 7:05 pm
Jake Arrieta has been either really good or really bad this year and I expect to see the latter tonight. He is coming off consecutive horrible starts at home against the Rangers and Rays to push his ERA to 5.21 on the season and while he has been better on the road, this is not the ... read more

Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres Thursday May 17, 2012 10:05 pm
The Dodgers are finding life without Matt Kept pretty tough. Since going on the disabled list with an injured hamstring, the Dodgers have managed to score only six runs total, going 1-2 in the three games he has missed. They have dropped the last two and with the loss last night, ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Thursday May 17, 2012 7:05 pm
Miami let one get away in Game Two as the Heat lost at home to the Pacers and thus, lost home court advantage in this series. They need to get it back and it needs to be done here in the first game in Indiana because being down 2-1 with the possibility of being down 3-1 is not the ... read more
