New Mexico State at Washington State

Mike Leach has brought a steady program to Washington State. The Cougars are now a title threat every season. QB Gardner Minshew has departed but rest assured, Mike Leach is a bonafide QB maker and the offense will shine again. In comes QB Gage Gubrud - an FCS All-American that threw for over 11,000 yards at Eastern Washington. He will have the luxury of seven of the eight top receivers returning from last season. The offense will be potent, and Leach isn't afraid to run up the score. New Mexico State is an Independent now and is playing road games for money and they are not going to do very well here. The Aggies are barely hanging on, and I could see this one becoming very ugly very early. Lay the points on Washington State.
