UVA went 2-10 in his first season, opening the year with a loss to an FCS program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mendenhall\u2019s rebuilding effort in New Mexico could follow a similar trend, with the Lobos opening the season against what\u2019s expected to be one of the best FCS teams in the country in Montana State. There\u2019s not an obvious win on New Mexico\u2019s schedule.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately for New Mexico, returning quarterback Devon Dampier is a unique athlete with rushing and passing ability. He fits well into offensive coordinator Jason Beck\u2019s scheme, which thrives with athletic quarterbacks. Dampier is only a sophomore, which should give fans faith the offense could make major strides in the next three seasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately for New Mexico, there\u2019s not a ton of returning talent and it\u2019s the clear pick to finish last in the Mountain West. Still, Mendenhall\u2019s track record suggests fans should be optimistic. While 2024 might not be a bowl season, Mendenhall knows how to gradually build a team into a more consistent winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the process of improving a program is finding players who fit the culture and scheme, which could take Mendenhall and his staff multiple seasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>For more Group of Five coverage, follow us on <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HEROsportsCFB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a><em> and <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HERO_SportsCFB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Twitter<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2024-new-mexico-football-season-prediction\">2024 New Mexico Football Season Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d lean toward taking the Under for New Mexico\u2019s season-long win total bet, as a winless season isn\u2019t completely out of the question. The Lobos play two Power Four teams, Washington State, and they don\u2019t have an FCS cakewalk. There\u2019s not a single guaranteed win on the schedule.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major questions along the offensive line, which figures to be transfer heavy, give me pause about the unit\u2019s ability to consistently move the ball. A potential lack of chemistry along the front could derail the offense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensively, the Lobos added USC transfer De\u2019Jon Benton at defensive tackle. He flashed at times for the Trojans in 2023 and figures to earn playing time for New Mexico. Perhaps he could spearhead a defense that allowed a woeful 35.1 points per game last season. The Lobos will need major improvement on defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For optimistic fans, there\u2019s still potential for three or more wins in 2024. Dampier is an intriguing quarterback, and Beck developed UVA\u2019s dual-threat players like Bryce Perkins and Brennan Armstrong into elite ACC signal callers. If Dampier exceeds expectations and tests defenses with his arm and legs, New Mexico could prove to be an irritating Mountain West opponent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, access to an active transfer portal could speed up the process of a traditional Mendenhall rebuild. The ease of roster turnover in modern college football works in Mendenhall\u2019s favor as he looks to completely overhaul a team\u2019s culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s likely going to be a long season for the Lobos, but the long-term future looks bright given Mendenhall\u2019s hiring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Mexico has proven to be one of the hardest places to win in the FBS, with the program failing to post a winning season since 2016.
