UNM prepares to use three quarterbacks against Central Michigan

New Mexico will field a multi-quarterback offense in its upcoming game against Central Michigan. Head coach Jason Eck confirmed that the Lobos will rotate James Laubstein, Luke Moga, and Toa Fa’avae following a lengthy competition that saw no clear winner emerge. The rotation became necessary after Jack Layne suffered a season-ending elbow injury during fall camp. Eck, who previously used a two-quarterback system while coaching at Minnesota State, intends to utilize the rotation as a permanent fixture throughout the season rather than a temporary fix. The coaching staff plans to use the quarterbacks based on their individual skill sets, drawing from similar strategies utilized during Eck's tenure at the Division II level. New Mexico enters the contest aiming to establish a functional rotation to navigate the remainder of its schedule.
