“Hogs dominate Aggies” was the deadline everyone was hoping to read last week. Better late than never, I guess.
The Hogs dispatched New Mexico State 42-24 on Saturday to get back to 2-2. The Aggies (2-3) are a decent team and have a legitimate chance at six wins or more, which is way better than what they usually do in Las Cruces.
Still, as you’ll see in the numbers, this game was never remotely in doubt, even as New Mexico State pulled to within 28-17 early in the third quarter. I think there are a couple different stats you’ll see that — even against New Mexico State — offer a hint that this team is closer than you might think to being what the coaches want it to be.
