New Mexico State@Louisiana Score Predictions

[billbeck451]

UL 62
other 17

with 10 of those points being scored late in the game after UL's starters are resting on the bench

[VObserver]

UL = 44

NMSU = 17

I think we pull the starters midway through 3rd quarter as we try to rest as much as we can for a short week and Thursday night game. I think the reserves give up some late points but we win a somewhat boring game dominated by groundwork. Both McGuire and Harris go for over 100 and we get 60 total carries in the game as a team.

I expect that Harris will get fewer than 10 carries, as will McGuire. I still would not be surprised to see them both go for over 100.

With as much work as both will get early, I don't think their carries will be that low although Harris could go short of the 20 carry mark at say 15-16 but I think both will be used often early to establish a lead

No way Harris sees 15 carries. The Prophet might, I expect to see a lot of Reed, Pierce, Carter and Jackson. I hope we get to see Haak get the 3rd quarter and run the offense and Landor get the 4th and run the offense.

Us - more than them
Them - less than us

It has the potential to get very ugly, for them. I hope that Hud pulls our starters after the 1st half, as I'm sure the score will most likely already be out of hand, for them. I want our second and third string guys to get some reps and develop our depth a little bit. Also wanna save our starters for the rest of the season. No need to hurt them here.

I also think this would make for a slightly more interesting 2nd half, and might keep at least some of the 40,000+ from leaving early.

If our defense keeps the lid on the jar, I think your expectations and hopes will be realized.

UL = Whatever HUD wants
NMSU = Hope Cajuns defense will allow a field goal.

Guys --I keep hearing all this huge crowd talk---Anybody have a ticket update or heard news of any more than normal coming to the game????

We will see although I expect him to possibly have that after the first 3 drives

I honestly think this game will go like the Nichols St game. He had 2 carries in that contest. We need him to rest up for the Troy game 5 days later so do not expect Harris or McGuire to get a ton of work this week. Same goes for Broadway if we get a sizable lead. Give the ball to Haak and let him execute the game plan and rotate in the other 4 backs behind them. Build some depth in this game where we are vastly more talented and allow younger guys to develop in a real game.

We can only hope it is over with quickly. I would hate to see the negativity a close game might create.

He also had a bum shoulder and they didn't want to push it
