They were up 25 @ halftime, just no contest, then Boise inexplicably turned the ball over 2 times, and New Mex capitalized by starting those drives in the Red Zone.
I know TCU @ home can be a scary thought, but Iowa St + is my side of the week. These are the exact same teams. Shitty running teams, ok passing, and both stout vs the run/pass. You are paying for the TCU name, but their production has not been impressive, especially vs their weak competition(Kansas/Grambling/Virginia/SMU). All of those schools are finishing dead last in their respective conferences. Iowas has played a tougher schedule, and have fared well also.
