you got 2 supposedly shut down rushing defenses going here.....and 2 big time backs.....stephen jackson comes with a big reputation but,has slowed down quite a bit toward the end of the year....he has just 2 100 yard games in his last 6.....teams seem to be stacking the line and forcing big,gawky derek anderson to beat them....he can burn you....but he he and the beavers make alot of mistakes....ha has 22 td`s and 23 ints....
dontrell moore seems to get stronger as the season progresses....this guy has a penchant for breaking off big runs....and qb kelly`s a dangerous runner himself.....
the key seems to be how many big plays the oregon st passing game can make vs how many mistakes anderson makes....new mexico`s pass defense isn`t world class,to say the least....and they blitz alot...that`s either gonna mean they`ll force anderson into mistakes or they`ll get burned in man to man coverage.....
another thing that bothers me is,actually how good are these pac 10 rushing defenses?......several have great stats....but how many prolific rushing attacks are there in the pac 10?.....
i think some of these pac 10 rushing defense stats may be a little misleading......
like rocky long as a coach....this is probably his best new mexico team....and playing a pac 10 team has to give them an emotional edge...playing in vegas has to be a slight advantage for new mexico
can their pass defense hold up and can they shake moore and kelly loose to make some big plays and pound what looks like a real good oregon st defense????...they could get shut down if that running game stalls...
another toughie..i saw that dave cokin has this as a goy.....i don`t put much credence in these guys,but have some respect for this guy from corresponding with him on another site....
..bought new mexico up to 3....wtf...
