Week 10 thoughts...
Another egg as the season begins to circle the drain...this one was close in the 1st half and then went off the rails.
Before the season I made a comment about what would happen if we ever lost DE Leonard Johnson to injury. He left the game late in the 1st half with broken ribs and NM State scored on 4 second half drives, including three drives of over 70 yards. Johnson is out indefinitely.
Michael Hicks ran well early but the whole offense fizzled out in the 2nd half. We had 135 yards in the 1st quarter and just 100 total the rest of the way.
QB Quentin Bush was Quentin Bush-like. Completing 28% of your passes will get the backup QB's more work in practice this week.
No pass rush this time around. Our defense managed 0 sacks on the day and just 1 hurry.
That's 5 losses in a row after a 3-0 start.
