WAC Conference - New Mexico State Aggies Preview
Last season was a humiliating nightmare for new Head Coach Hal Mumme and his coaching staff. The numbers don't lie: 0-12 on the season, and a defense that was so weak it finished 116th in the country, bad enough for last place. On the other hand, the Offense broke three school passing records and ranked 2nd in the WAC with 266 passing yards per game. That was offset - just a little bit - by the fact the O also managed 22 INT's, 78 YPG rushing, and allowed four sacks a game. This year the offense receives a boost with QB Chase Holbrook and WR Akieem Jolla (Miami transfer) coming in. They'll at least get another two TDs per game, so look to the Aggies doubling their offensive output. HC Mumme's spread offenses always improve in their second year, so things already look much better.

Defensively, six are returning. Look for the D to play with extra incentive: a player was shot and killed last season, and they'll no doubt play for his memory. There's increased speed to allow DC Woody Widenhofer to implement his defensive playbook. Improvement on D should happen. The Aggies could take a step up this season, gaining confidence with some soft games early, and playing tough against the WAC's elite. But the reality is bowling and championships are still a ways away.
