ND vs New Mexico Highlights
ND vs New Mexico Highlights

As expected ND blew out New Mexico with all sorts of highlights although NM was able to run the ball against the ND defense.

Ian Book, when given time can go long and all day – his passes were razor sharp. He ended with 5 TD passes accounting for 366 yards.

Two of the passes were shovel passes to Avery Davis 58 yard TD and Chris Finke 54 yard TD. Claypool and McKinley had a great day receiving with McKinley scoring his first TD.

On the negative side the ND OL frequently could not get any push against smaller opponents. They had a hell of a time getting 1 yard and in one of the QB sneaks, TE Brock Wright literally had to pick Book up and drive him forward.

Georgia’s DL will be a nastier one and ND simply has to be able to run up the middle.

Here are great highlights of the game:

ND vs New Mexico Predictions
ND vs New Mexico Predictions

New Mexico arrives at ND without its HC Bob Davie who is ill. They also lost their QB and first string NG and Captain. They’re the lucky ones for the remainder are going to get pulverized.

This is not a very good team and went 3-9 in the last 2 seasons. Davie would be gone but NM can’t afford the buyout.

With sunny weather predicted and temps in the low 70’s, ND should roll them up by halftime.

This is an opportunity for QB Ian Book to get the kinks out in the passing game. I wouldn’t let him run at all – stay in the pocket and go downfield a lot.

If we don’t see #2 QB Phil Jurkovec by mid 3rd quarter and a lot of other subs, ND is in for a long season.
