New Mexico employs multi-quarterback approach against Central Michigan

New Mexico will use a rotation of quarterbacks for its season opener against Central Michigan this Saturday. Head coach Jason Eck has declined to name a single starter, opting instead to utilize a committee consisting of Luke Moga, Toa Fa’avae, and James Laubstein. The decision follows a competitive fall camp where all three players split practice reps while competing to replace former starter Jack Layne, who missed time due to injury. Coaches described the competition as close, noting the distinct attributes each player brings to the offense. The program plans to maintain the uncertainty regarding the starting assignment until the game begins. Players involved in the rotation expressed support for the strategy, stating the focus remains on securing a victory regardless of individual playing time.
