It Doesn't Get Easier Next Saturday

New Mexico State has a great quarterback, receivers who can catch the ball, and a fine running back.

NEW MEXICO STATE 41,

TEXAS-EL PASO 14

LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Tyler Rogers threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Larry Rose III had 17 carries for 144 yards, and New Mexico State beat UTEP 41-14 on Saturday night.

The Aggies intercepted five UTEP passes and scored 31 consecutive points after UTEP tied the game 7-7 late in the first quarter.

Rose, a 5-11, 195-pound senior who was a third-team All-America in 2015, totaled 189 all-purpose yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Aggies over the Miners (0-4) at Aggie Stadium.

New Mexico State, which plays the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville on Saturday at Razorback Stadium, and later plays host to Sun Belt Conference rival Arkansas State on Oct. 28, outgained UTEP 462-227.

In addition to his rushing yards, Rose caught 4 passes for 4o yards and had a 5-yard punt return.

Rogers completed passes to 10 different receivers.

Rose, rounding back into his 2015 All-America form after missing the first three games in 2016, has rushed 63 times for 372 yards this season and is at 3,990 yards for his career, with 29 touchdowns.

This season's 20 receptions for 150 yards brings Rose to 98 caches for 635 yards in his career.

Rose scored his first touchdown after Lomax's first interception and went 40 yards to open the scoring with 9:45 left in the first quarter.

UTEP answered with a 12-play, 81-yard drive capped by Metz's 5-yard touchdown run.

The Miners downed a punt at the NMSU 3, and Rose had six carries for 65 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown that capped a 15-play drive and provided the first of 31 consecutive New Mexico State points -- including a 19-yard interception return for a score by Lomax.

If the Hogs lose this game what happens?

[jacobp]

Oh please. It'll be a 3-4 score game and on to SC

[moses_007]

If the Hogs lose this game what happens?

CBB gets his walking papers Sunday morning.

[Inhogswetrust]

CBB gets his walking papers Sunday morning.

Doubtful. Not the right thing to do this early in the season. Wait until Jan 1 and save $5,000,000.

[Hogarusa]

Cmon- it does get easier. NMSU is not near the same level as A&M and Tcu by beating an 0-4UTEP. They may pose a challenge but are without any doubt, an easier opponent. They lost a home game to Troy

[Hawghiggs]

Doubtful. Not the right thing to do this early in the season. Wait until Jan 1 and save $5,000,000.

Pretty sure the way CBB is coaching. That this is going to happen.

[Boarcephus]

If the Hogs lose this game what happens?

I'm more concerned about what the attendance will be. This will be the first chance we've had to see if the fans have indeed quit on him.  Capacity is around 75,000, what will be the effect at the Broyles Complex if 20,000 find something else to do? 

[3kgthog]

The UA won't care about the attendance. They've already got our season ticket money.

This AP recap of the NMSU should be enough for the UofA to forfeit next week's game. No way we can compete with a team that garners this kind of writing. Do we have a write up of Coastal Carolina's last game too? Might need it for later in the season.

[san1981]

NMSU has a great offense which after yesterday's defensive performance that might be an issue.

And just for recreational purposes NMSU if 4-0 against the spread.

I see this like the UMASS versus Tennessee game yesterday. Heartbreaking loss and come in to play in a half empty stadium. 

[Hoggish1]

Don't you just love it when losers/quitters come on and say things like "it won't get easier next week?"

These types would like to just forfeit the next nine games in order to say—I told you so...!

[Hoggish1]

Cmon- it does get easier. NMSU is not near the same level as A&M and Tcu by beating an 0-4UTEP. They may pose a challenge but are without any doubt, an easier opponent. They lost a home game to Troy

I hope you weren't sending your message to Moses_007 because it would upset him bigly...

[moses_007]

The UA won't care about the attendance. They've already got our season ticket money.

I doubt Long could care if only 10K show up for the game as long as he's sold 65,000 tickets before the start of the season.

[san1981]

Sure easier opponent, but no cake walk. They defeated New Mexico on the road which defeated Tulsa yesterday. They lost to Arizona State by less than TD on a road which beat Oregon last night.

7th in the NCAA in passing which will keep the game close with our defense.

people thought the same thing about The Citadel a few years back too

[HardCore]

If the Hogs lose this game what happens?

Long probably gives him a contract extension with a $25MM buyout

NMSU also lost at home last week to Troy.

[PorkRinds]

Don't be stupid. It gets way easier next week.

[johnny cash]

He lost to Toledo, so there is reason to be concerned with New Mexico State.

[TrueBlue]

Lanny - better increase server bandwidth to be on the safeside. If not, you will have a total server meltdown if we lose - much like the movie China Syndrome.

Ouch.  If we can't muster any better pass rush than we did against A&M, they will torch us through the air. 

If we lose to NMS, Bielema will be fired, probably before he leaves the stadium.

[Swestwill66]

Been outta town,didn't catch the score.we must have lost 65-10 or something ?

[RazorbackAlways]

He lost to Toledo, so there is reason to be concerned with New Mexico State.

This

[ricepig]

Pretty sure the way CBB is coaching. That this is going to happen.

He'll either be fired the Monday after Thanksgiving, or he coaches for us in 2018. Long won't let him sign a class in Dec and fire him on Jan. 1st.

[ricepig]

Ouch.  If we can't muster any better pass rush than we did against A&M, they will torch us through the air. 

If we lose to NMS, Bielema will be fired, probably before he leaves the stadium.

Wanna bet?

[san1981]

NMSU played at Kentucky last year and lost 62-42. It was tied at 35 at half.

Experienced team with a senior QB.

Not calling an upset but suspect it will be close.

[Kevin]

The UA won't care about the attendance. They've already got our season ticket money.

the visual on tv will not look good. don't under estimate the importance of that

[Boardon Hamsay]

In before "Son of All Things Coastal Carolina Game Should Be Forfeited Merged."

[moses_007]

the visual on tv will not look good. don't under estimate the importance of that

Good thing it's only on the SEC Network.

[HoggieStyle]

If the Hogs lose this game what happens?

Wailing. Gnashing of teeth. A sudden rush of bans and timeouts on Hogville....

[farmhawg]

Don't be stupid. It gets way easier next week.

Absolutely. We win by at least 20.

[Boardon Hamsay]

If the Hogs lose this game what happens?

We have a fan anger day at DWRRS featuring free booze as well as both kitten and puppy punting contests?

[NATEHOGG216]

the visual on tv will not look good. don't under estimate the importance of that

Only two things important to Jeff long, $$$$$ and his image. Wonder if the empty stands will hurt his image in his mind.

[Pecos Hog]

The UA won't care about the attendance. They've already got our season ticket money.

The optics would be very, very bad.   

NMST is a very dangerous game for us   A game we SHOULD win, but that's the problem.    We've had this one in the "cupcake" category all along and just assumed we'd show up and get our rent a win.    With all the glaring weaknesses on our team and coaching staff this year, if we are not focused and ready to play this game we could be very well in for a real contest.   

[Razorback de Nosferatu]

the visual on tv will not look good. don't under estimate the importance of that

Truth. Folks underestimate the financial and recruiting issues that will come along with two years of apathy. 

If things don't improve--drastically--and if the buyout is truly as insurmountable as some claim (then why in God's name was it agreed to?), then this is truly a lose-lose situation for Razorback football.

[ricepig]

Only two things important to Jeff long, $$$$$ and his image. Wonder if the empty stands will hurt his image in his mind.

This game won't matter, the attendance for the Auburn, MSU, and Mizzou games will be more of a factor. AD's know 11am kickoffs against non-conference teams are down across the country, it's a non-factor.

[HeathWimp]

If the Hogs lose this game what happens?

Absolutely nothing.

[buldozer]

NM State is not the caliber team that ATM is. That said, anything can happen at this point. If the coach wants to keep his job,( and there is no signal in that direction I have seen so far, he may just want out) he should fire the O Line coach. K Anderson is awful. K Anderson will never make it as a OL coach here and needs to go now.

In CBB tradition, he likely will make few if any changes while expecting different results!

[TrueBlue]

Moses, New Mexico State sucks bro

Arkansas sucks bro.

[hawgdavis]

He lost to Toledo, so there is reason to be concerned with New Mexico State.

This is what I was thinking and what's the mentality of the team, that's what I'm more concerned about. I know that BB atleast looks burned out

[carolinahogger]

NMSU played at Kentucky last year and lost 62-42. It was tied at 35 at half.

Experienced team with a senior QB.

Not calling an upset but suspect it will be close.

If this game is tied at the half Bielema makes no adjustments and we lose by 10.

Well you have to know the posters. Ol moses is a troll/asshat. HogInMemphis, hogcard1964, iwastherein69.. all trolls/asshats

[moses_007]

I aint no troll.  Been on Hogville over 10 years.

[Rayzback]

Absolutely. We win by at least 20.

And if Arkansas State beats them by 24?  You know these two games are going to be compared.  Even if we win this weekend, about the time Arkansas State plays them we may be in melt down mode reflecting back on this game.

[logic]

The UA won't care about the attendance. They've already got our season ticket money.

That may be true short-term.  However, if many fans don't attend the games, long-term season ticket sales will crash.

[twistitup]

Az state almost lost to them - 36-31 I believe

[Porkchop#1]

NMSU has a great offense which after yesterday's defensive performance that might be an issue.

And just for recreational purposes NMSU if 4-0 against the spread.

I see this like the UMASS versus Tennessee game yesterday. Heartbreaking loss and come in to play in a half empty stadium.

Is the Spread the kind of defense we use against Texas A&M? 

The one where our defenders all gather near the sidelines and allow the Aggs to dash unfettered up the middle to the endzone?

[HotlantaHog]

CBB gets his walking papers Sunday morning.

Because an interim coach worked so well before....

[Ex-Trumpet]

If we lose to NM State, Kevin Sumlin should be fired immediately.
