Minnesota Football: RoWINg to New Mexico State - Opponent Preview

Welcome back! Gopher football is here again, as Minnesota opens the season on Thursday, Sept. 1, hosting former head coach Jerry Kill and the New Mexico State Aggies under the lights at Huntington Bank Stadium. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

Can New Mexico State score on offense?

Based on their 23-12 season-opening loss to Nevada last Saturday, in which they were only able to score a touchdown and a field goal against a Wolf Pack defense that returned three starters from a unit that ranked 70th in scoring defense a season ago, I’d say no one is going to mistake the Aggies for an offensive juggernaut any time soon.
