just sayin, 4 turnovers is a great help to your offense
Did you watch the game? Honest question because reading a box score can be very misleading. I’ll give you two easy examples. One of the turnovers was the NM qb on 4th down at their own 40 throwing it up for grabs, got picked and acted like a punt at Michigan’s own 20 and if they would have batted it down instead of the turnover, they would have had the ball on the NM 40 instead of their own 20.
2) looking at a box score, Arch Manning had 170 yards passing and 38 yards rushing to Sayin’s 126 and 2. The box score would say Sayin was pretty bad, when in reality is he ran a very efficient offense and should have been 16/20 with more yardage due to dropped passes.
Seeing stats doesn’t tell the entire story. I’ll give New Mexico, especially their offense and qb credit. Qb got destroyed all night and kept getting up and made some pretty incredible throws. Secondly, some of the trick plays were wild and successful.
as an M fan, my concern is the defense is not what it’s been the last 2-3 years, especially the d-line. That being said, their offense finally has a pulse. We’ll learn a lot this week. That being said, if I’m a stud receiver that’s considering transferring or a superstar coming out of high school that could start day 1, I’d be watching Underwood very closely. if I’m receiver #1, I’d want to be with that qb.
