I don't think they helped themselves by letting Chase Holbrook throw for over 500 yds. New Mexico St is a team you should shut down if you want to move up in rankings.
I agree. He already had 2,000 yards coming into the game, and they run usually 60-65 passing plays per game. It's al they do. They usually get their yards, but our defense seemed to play deep all night and let a lot of short passes happen.
I'm glad we won. You are correct. We need to blow out these teams to move up. We are currently 15th in the BCS. If we make it to 12, we get a BCS bowl. We have to win out, win big and hope for some teams to get a second loss.
