Breaking down how New Mexico plays ahead of clash Week 3 with Auburn
Peter Rauterkus | prauterkus@al.comThe Tigers will face New Mexico, and despite being a heavy favorite, will look to avoid a result similar to when they faced a different team from New Mexico in 2023.
While that’s obviously the case for most offenses and their quarterbacks, Dampier’s versatile skillset makes him unique. A true dual threat, much of what New Mexico does offensively involves getting Dampier on the move whether it be through RPOs, bootlegs or designed quarterback runs. He’s averaging 9.1 yards per rush through two games this season and is the team’s leading rusher despite having 15 less carries than the next leading rusher.Through two games, Dampier’s favorite target has undoubtedly been junior wide receiver Luke Wysong.
He’s also the second-highest graded player on the team by Pro Football Focus . Wysong isn’t a particularly big target at 5-foot-10, 184 pounds, but still has an impressive ability to make contested catches, highlighted by a play he made in double coverage to set up New Mexico’s first touchdown against Arizona.Through two games, the Lobos are giving up an average of 597 yards and 48 points per game.
