One Reason Why Abilene Christian Will Win

If the Wildcats were ever going to find their offense, this would be it. There wasn’t much of a ground attack last season, but the passing game was fine and relatively efficient. New Mexico isn’t just rebuilding; it’s all but starting over with nine of the top tacklers gone. Unless the Lobos can find consistent play in the backfield early on, ACU should be able to bomb away.

One Reason Why New Mexico Will Win

Will Abilene Christian be able to stop the run? No? Okay then, good night. The Wildcats were destroyed up front last season allowing over 200 rushing yards per game and almost never controlling the clock. New Mexico will use several options and get the chance to unload the depth with around ten different players eventually getting carries. ACU will almost never have the ball.

What’s Going To Happen

The Lobos will dominate from pillar to post. The defense will find its replacements right away, while there won’t be any answers to slow down a ground attack that’ll be off and running with a 400-yard day to start things up.
