per Chad:
Frakes entered the game down 17-2 and looked more comfortable in the offense. He went 9-for-13 for 143 yards and threw a goal-line fade to Kordell David into the back corner of the end zone for his first career touchdown.
Nevada ran for 179 yards on Saturday night but needed 45 attempts to reach that number – an average of four yards per carry. The Wolfpack also collected 78 of those yards on their two final drives of the game, meaning the Aggies largely did their job on the ground.

Gavin Frakes will probably be the starting quarterback
Jerry Kill's first assignment at New Mexico State was to find a starting quarterback. Diego Pavia got the start against Nevada, but turned the ball over four times (three interceptions, one fumble) in the first half before being replaced by Gavin Frakes.Frakes entered the game down 17-2 and looked more comfortable in the offense.

The Aggies' defense is tougher than you think
New Mexico State allowed 23 points in their opener, but their defense did enough to keep the Aggies in the game.Nevada ran for 179 yards on Saturday night but needed 45 attempts to reach that number – an average of four yards per carry.

What did the Gophers learn from New Mexico State's opener? - Sports Illustrated Minnesota Sports, News, Analysis, and More
A freshman quarterback and a better-than-advertised run defense could be issues on Thursday night.
