"The Spartans are still searching for their first win against an FBS team in 2025 as their only win of the season so far came against the FCS school Idaho. Kicker Mathias Brown takes over field goal duties from Denis Lynch, who missed six of his first 10 attempts. Brown, in his second season, has never attempted a field goal in his collegiate career."
"After being picked to finish eleventh in the Mountain West in the preseason media poll, New Mexico has gotten off to a 3-1 start under head coach Jason Eck in his first year with the program. His previous head coaching gig was at Idaho from 2022-24. New Mexico's only loss of the season is to then ranked No.14 Michigan. Lobos quarterback Jack Layne played under Eck the previous three seasons at Idaho."
