NEW MEXICO STATE AGGIES NEWS

Santino Marucci - Touchdowns two ways Marucci went 13-for-29 for 189 yards and a touchdown against New Mexico on Saturday. He also ran seven times for 42 yards and a score.

Impact This remains a team built around running the ball and its backs. Marucci's passing touchdown was a quick dump off to running back Mike Washington who turned it into a 25-yard score. Marucci is bad at throwing the ball, but he's viable on the ground, and that's more than former starter Parker Awad could say.

Parker Awad - Not starting QB during loss Awad was not the Aggies' starting quarterback for their 48-0 loss Saturday at Fresno State.

Impact Santino Marucci was the Aggies' starting quarterback Saturday. But considering they failed to log any points then, perhaps Awad could be their primary QB again relatively soon.

Deuce Hogan - Out for remainder of season Hogan is out for the remainder of New Mexico State's 2024 season due to a collarbone injury, Nick Coppola of The Las Cruces Sun-News reports.

Impact After the Saturday game, New Mexico State's head coach Tony Sanchez said Hogan suffered an injury. It concerns one of his collarbones and will cause him to sit out 2024. This year was bad for Hogan, considering he accomplished fewer than 10 receptions and 100 yards.

Jerry Lydiatt - Finds end zone Lydiatt caught four passes for 22 yards and a score against SHSU on Saturday.

Impact The backup tight end had the only touchdown for the Aggies. Okay, sure, why not? This is a bad offense, a terrible one even, and the redshirt freshman Lydiatt had all of one target coming into this game.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Seth McGowan - Rushes for 50 yards McGowan ran 12 times for 50 yards and caught one pass for seven yards against SHSU on Saturday.

Impact McGowan has 250 yards on 49 carries through four games and he hasn't fumbled the ball. He's been competent, and he is probably the only player on the NMSU offense you can say that about. It feels like the Aggies have swiftly fallen back into their pre-Jerry Kill misery.

Santino Marucci - Can't fix NMSU offense Marucci took Parker Awad's starting quarterback role for Saturday's game against SHSU. He went 14-for-29 for 74 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Marucci also ran 10 tim...

Impact Marucci transferred over from Wake Forest, where he never found a real role. That...doesn't feel surprising after that start. Right now, it feels like NMSU has the worst passing offense in the FBS.

Donovan Faupel - DNP Saturday Faupel (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 48-0 loss to Fresno State.

Impact After logging 76 snaps across the first two games of the season, Faupel did not appear in Saturday's blowout loss. His next chance to play is this Saturday at Sam Houston State.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Washington - Rough day against Fresno Washington carried the ball eight times against Fresno State on Saturday. He totaled three yards and fumbled twice.

Impact NMSU has the worst passing offense in FBS football. It needs to rely on the run game, and Washington had paired well with Seth McGowan as a "thunder" back to the latter's "lightning." This doesn't suffice, though, and opens the door for concerns about the Buffalo transfer.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Seth McGowan - Rushes for 47 yards McGowan ran 11 times for 47 yards against Fresno State on Saturday.

Impact For comparison's sake, NMSU totaled 61 yards passing. This offense is struggling heavily in the post-Jerry Kill era. McGowan, a four-star recruit for Oklahoma back in the day, is the most-talented player on this team, and this team has no real hope but to rely on him it would appear.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Deuce Hogan - Brutal against Fresno Hogan stepped in for Parker Awad in a 48-0 blowout loss to Fresno State on Saturday. He went 4-for-13 for eight yards with two picks.

Impact Hogan couldn't get playing time at Iowa, or at Kentucky. Parker Awad has been bad as NMSU's starting quarterback, but when Hogan played in this one, he was even worse. Maybe the Aggies will need to dip into the depth chart and hope to find gold?

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Parker Awad - Another poor performance Awad went 6-for-15 for 48 yards and an interception against Fresno State on Saturday. He also ran seven times for 25 yards.

Impact Simply put, completing 37.0 percent of your passes won't cut it, especially when you've also averaged 0.8 yards per rush. It's not surprising that Deuce Hogan got a chance to play in this one. The problem is that he was even worse than Awad.

Monte Watkins - Catches long TD Watkins ran three times for 14 yards Saturday against NMSU, but he also had one catch for a 64-yard touchdown.

Impact Watkins is a big-play guy. He averaged 9.7 yards per carry in 2023, though that was admittedly on 59 carries. Watkins has averaged 5.4 yards per tote in 2024, but he has this long touchdown that was mostly his work, and is also a kick returner. There is potential here in the right matchups.

Mike Washington - Nets 71 yards Washington ran 14 times for 61 yards and caught one pass for 10 yards against Liberty on Saturday.

Impact The Aggies are run heavy, and Washington seems to be the plodder of the group. He's gotten 32 carries, but he's averaged 3.5 yards per carry and hasn't run for a score. Washington will get his touches, but Seth McGowan and Monte Watkins have more big-play ability.
