New Mexico State practices the defense option mentality that permeated the Big 12 and Pac-12 in recent years. The Aggies are miserable when it comes to stopping opposing teams. They are 125th in total defense, allowing 473.5 yards per game this season. In addition, they are 124th in yards allowed per play (6.72), 82nd in pass defense (223.5 ypg) and 130th in rush defense by giving up 250 yards per contest. Throw in that they are tied for 126th in scoring defense by allowing 38.2 points per game, including at least 48 to three of their last four opponents, and it won't take much offense from the Aggies to push this one over the total.
