New Mexico (3-2, 0-1 MW) and Boise State (3-2, 1-0 MW) meet tonight in Week 7 at Albertsons Stadium in Boise.
Boise State boasts one of the most productive offenses in the Mountain West, averaging 479 yards per game — good for 14th nationally. Quarterback Maddux Madsen has thrown for 1,344 yards and 9 touchdowns, completing 60.1% of his passes. But he’s also thrown 5 interceptions.
Madsen is complemented by a ground game averaging nearly 197 yards per contest, led by Dylan Riley (393 yards, 5 TDs). Receiver LaTrell Caples leads the team with 292 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The Broncos’ biggest strength is balance, but penalties and red-zone execution have been concerns — they rank 131st nationally in penalty yards per game (77.2) and 128th in red-zone efficiency, scoring on just 70% of trips.
New Mexico brings a steady, efficient offense averaging 396.8 yards and 30 points per game. Quarterback Jack Layne has been sharp, completing 69.5% of his throws for 1,162 yards for 7 touchdowns — but also 6 interceptions. Damon Bankston (289 yards, 3 TDs) leads the rushing attack, while Keagan Johnson is a top target with 326 yards on 26 catches.
Boise State’s defense allows 351 yards per game, ranking middle-of-the-pack nationally. The secondary has been strong, giving up just 186.6 passing yards per game, but the run defense has struggled, yielding 164.4 yards per game — 103rd in the FBS.
New Mexico’s defense has flipped that profile: solid against the run (119.8 yards per game, 47th) but highly vulnerable through the air, surrendering 271.2 passing yards per game, 126th nationally. The Lobos have also struggled to get off the field, ranking 122nd in third-down defense (45.6% allowed), and their -7 turnover margin ranks 131st in the FBS.
Prediction
New Mexico has the tools to stay competitive, if Layne protects the ball and the Lobos force Boise into mistakes, this could tighten. But Boise’s balance, home crowd, and historical edge make them the safer pick.
Projected Score: Boise State 34, New Mexico 20
