NEW MEXICO LOBOS
2006 record:6-7, 4-4 (5th)
Predicted 2007 finish:4th (DMN staff poll), 4th (MWC preseason poll)
Starters returning: 18 (8 offense, 10 defense)
Starters lost: 4 (3 offense, 1 defense)
Key offensive players: QB Donovan Porterie, RB Rodney Ferguson, WR Travis Brown, WR Marcus Smith
Key defensive players: LB Cody Kase, LB George Carter, LB Major Mosley
Top newcomers: DB Brandon Johnson, DB Aaron Lenard
Best-case scenario for 2007 The Lobos are through with growing pains and shouldn't go through five quarterbacks again like a year ago. With experience on his side, Long could get the Lobos in position for a piece of the title and another bowl game if they knock off BYU at home and break through against TCU on the road.
Worst-case scenario for 2007: If Porterie goes down, the Lobos will be shuffling once again and for an offense that will break in a new coordinator. It would send the Lobos reeling to another break-even campaign at best.
