Josh Adkins to start at quarterback for New Mexico State against UTEP

There will be a new quarterback on the field for the NM State Aggies on Saturday against UTEP.

The coaches at New Mexico State made the decision after falling to 0-4, most recently losing to New Mexico 42-25 on Saturday.

Out is Matt Romero, in is redshirt freshman Josh Adkins.

Not only has Romero not looked good in his first four starts, he looks as though he’s not quite ready for FBS level play, at least not yet. It is nice to see the coaching staff finally admit that they may have been wrong about him and put in another quarterback.
