When Appalachian State has the ball: Appalachian State has struggled to get its running game going. Terrance Upshaw leads the team with 249 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

The Mountaineers’ passing game has picked up the slack, led by quarterback Taylor Lamb and top receiver Thomas Hennigan, who has 17 catches for 176 yards and a touchdown.

When New Mexico State has the ball: The Aggies have leaned on running back Larry Rose III (71 carries, 397 yards, two TDs) in years past, but have added an explosive passing game triggered by quarterback Tyler Rogers, who has thrown for 1,757 yard and 14 touchdowns. His favorite target is Jaleel Scott, who has 35 catches for 543 yards and five touchdowns.
