New Mexico Offense Faces Tougher Test
New Mexico has posted 37 points per game on average, yet its two biggest outputs came against lesser competition. The Lobos have managed just 21 points in each of their last two outings. Their deliberate approach, taking 32.5 seconds per snap when ahead after halftime, should limit possessions. San Jose State converts only 31 percent of third downs while New Mexico has surrendered successful runs on fewer than 30 percent of attempts. The Lobos have also permitted just 11 red-zone trips all season.
Points Expected in Northern Illinois-UNLV Clash
Northern Illinois allowed 510 yards and 41 points in its last outing. That performance sets up opportunities for UNLV, which faces a defense surrendering successful plays on more than half its snaps and converting 56.5 percent of third and fourth downs. The Rebels should extend drives on the ground. Northern Illinois counters with a back averaging 5.3 yards per carry against a unit that ranks in the bottom 20 nationally in yards allowed per rush.
Miami-UNC and Georgia-Florida Lines Draw Interest
Miami heads into a road game before traveling to face Notre Dame the following week. Carolina has remained competitive in prior outings and can exploit Miami's pass defense. Florida plus the points also stands out, as the Gators have failed to reach 20 points in two losses yet those contests still cleared the total because the defense could not contain opponents. Georgia's offense enters with extra preparation time after a bye.
