GOING BACK TO LAST YEAR
The last time Colorado Mesa and New Mexico Highlands squared off, the Mavericks rewrote both the CMU and RMAC record book. Colorado Mesa churned up a record 708 yards rushing, 933 yards of total offense and 10 rushing touchdowns in the game, all RMAC records. 

OFFENSIVE OUTPUT
Colorado Mesa's offense has been clicking on all cylinders for two straight weeks. The Mavericks are averaging 501 yards of offense per game which ranks 10th in NCAA Division II. The ground game has been even better, averaging over 279 yards per game which ranks seventh in Division II.

HOUSE CALLS
Senior kick returner Virnel Moon is making house calls again. The El Cajon product took the opening kickoff of the second half back 99-yards for a touchdown, his second of the season. The senior is the first Maverick to return two kickoffs for touchdown in a season since defensive back Joe Krile did in 2003.
