The New Mexico State Aggies are playing their best ball of the season right now, but a lot of those wins came against subpar teams and their offense still stalls more times than not. The Bowling Green Falcons are a below average team at both ends of the field, but they’ve had success against better teams and McDonald is good enough at quarterback to put points on the board. Not excited about either side, but Bowling Green should win this game.
