New Mexico looks for offensive refinement after successful quarterback rotation

New Mexico secured a 38-7 win against Central Michigan in its season opener, marking the debut of a multi-quarterback system. James Laubstein, Luke Moga, and Toa Fa’avae shared snaps throughout the contest, combining for 17 of 25 passing for 159 yards and three total touchdowns. While head coach Jason Eck deemed the rotation successful, he identified areas for improvement, specifically regarding run-pass option decision-making and penalty reduction. Moga, who passed for 116 yards and one touchdown, admitted to errors in judgment on RPO plays that resulted in an intentional grounding penalty. The Lobos recorded 364 total yards and 28 first downs but struggled to finish some drives, relying on kicker Grant Glasgow for multiple field goals. The team aims to polish its execution in practice ahead of its upcoming match against Mercyhurst.
