I couldn't keep up with all the interceptions for TD's the other way he threw in his career (most of which were unforced errors). JJ played just like Chase whenever he got in the game. <BR/><BR/>I hope Walker will use an athletic QB that can run the ball and create plays out of the pocket when he has to.

If Walls had other options to play QB at a FBS school closer to home, no way he'd be at NMSU. I'm guessing the Air Raid offense and some of Holbrook's stats caught his eye as well.<BR/><BR/>At NMSU, rebuilding is common. As you indicated on an earlier post, this will be an enormous challenge for DW. I hope people are patient - it will likely be very ugly (I don't even want to think about playing at "The Shoe" next year). The long process to pick a HC who seemed to be the obvious choice from the get go certainly hurt recruiting too. And recruiting to NMSU is tough enough.<BR/>-Aggie GlareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-47291993064619864682009-01-14T17:55:00.000-08:002009-01-14T17:55:00.000-08:00JJ has 1 year r/shirt and 2 years eligibility left...JJ has 1 year r/shirt and 2 years eligibility left so he will be in a good position at SMU.

How many scholarships are still available?
