NMSU Previews (w/UPDATE)

Here's a preview of the UH-NMSU game from the AP's Andrew the Journalist.

Brennan, playing in Jones' run-and-shoot offense, has gotten strong contributions from four receivers. Ryan Grice-Mullen, Davone Bess, Jason Rivers and C.J. Hawthorne all have at least 40 receptions, 500 yards and five touchdowns.

Grice-Mullen tied a school record with 14 catches for 175 yards against San Jose State. Bess added 12 catches for 140 yards and Rivers also had 12 for 138.

New Mexico State (3-4, 0-2), meanwhile, will be without star receiver Chris Williams for 6-to-8 weeks after he broke his right collarbone in a 45-31 win over Idaho last Saturday night.

Williams, who got hurt in the second quarter, went into the game ranked ninth nationally with an average of 106.5 receiving yards per game. Last season, he led the nation with a 117.9-yard average.
