Both teams have to do something or die, but in different ways.
The second half of the season needs something to get New Mexico State going. It has lost five straight games and has yet to beat an FBS team. Texas A&M is still up next.
So throw this away, and forget about bowl dreams.
They have to be careful because four of their next six games are away from home. After a big win over Middle Tennessee, the offense finally got going again. Now it has to do everything it can to beat the Aggies.

Why Louisiana Tech Will Win

Because the defense is not very disruptive, there are not many takeaways. If the Aggies come up with more than one, you might be surprised.
The real issue is a passing game that does not work. The passing game has not been able to go over 190 yards yet because Diego Pavia is not there anymore. It only hits 42% of its passes.
Louisiana Tech vs New Mexico State: Who Will Win
It’s an odd Tuesday night game, but Louisiana Tech shouldn’t have any issues as long as it’s focused.
The offenses will sputter, but the Bulldogs have more of a defense to hold up against an Aggie team that just can’t get things moving against anyone other than New Mexico’s bad defense.
However, the Aggies kept it close against Liberty and fought with UNM. However, NMSU allowed 104 points over the last two weeks.
