New Mexico State’s resume is built on solid neutral and nonconference wins over New Mexico, UC Irvine and Georgia State that show the team can defend and compete on a bigger stage, while the neutral setback to South Alabama is a clear blemish that highlights offensive inconsistency. The defense has been the steadier half of the team and the resume is missing signature road victories, so upcoming road tests at Liberty, WKU, MTSU and Missouri State along with a neutral game against Tulsa are genuine chances to change how the profile is viewed. Home dates against Missouri State, Florida International, Delaware, UTEP, Jacksonville State and Kennesaw offer manageable ways to shore things up, but until the Aggies prove they can win the tougher away games their resume reads as respectable yet fragile.
