Overall New Mexico State has given up more points and yards than it has gained. Georgia will have to sure up the kickoff coverage as New Mexico State is one of the best in the country at returning kickoffs. The offensive line for Georgia should be able to do a good job as New Mexico State is near the bottom of the country in sacks and tackles for loss. The only major area that they really stand out is passing offense and kickoff returns. Their starting running back does average 5.34 yards per carry but as a team they are averaging only 3.58 ypc and they don't run the ball often. With the way Georgia's pass rush has been lately I like to see that they 93rd in the nation in allowing sacks.
