Because New Mexico is bad.
Don't believe me? Take a look at these numbers (provided by the stats section of NCAA.com):New Mexico is ranked 109 (out of 120) in total offense, averaging 309 yards a game.
Bad.
Their scoring offense is ranked 117. They score an average of 15.3 points per game.
Baaaad.
They have given up 30 sacks, good for seventh-worst in the country.
They are also next-to-worst in the country in Third down conversions, only converting 27.74% of the time.
B'ad.
National ranking in red zone offense? 115. 67% success rate.
Quad-bad.
They're a little better on defense. They're only ranked No. 104, giving up over 429 yards a game.
Scoring defense? 112, giving up 36.56 points/game.
So, so bad.
They have the eigth-worst defense on third down, letting opponents convert nearly 50% of the time.
New Mexico QB Donovan Porterie, a senior, has a 58.1% completion rate (the lowest since his freshman year), and has thrown 7 INTs to only 8 TDs. And again, he has also been sacked 30 times.
New Mexico is bad.
BYU is going to have a red-letter day in ABQ.

Sad thing is--they beat the spread by a lot. Why did our offense go AWOL! NM left 10 points on the field, luckily for us. When we had that fumble I felt sick that we were going to lose the game. Thank heavens for Jan J.
