Three takeaways for New Mexico State from the loss to UMass.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finished watching the New Mexico State game in YouTube last evening. One of my takeaways was the play of Gino Campiotti. He only had one reception, but his blocking grades must have been excellent. On Anthony Simpson's opening TD, it was Campiotti's block that sealed the New Mexico State defense inside.
In the second half, the ESPN announcers mentioned Campiotti's blocking. It seemed like every time number 13 was in the frame somewhere, he had his hat on a New Mexico State defender. At 6-2 225, he's not the prototypical 6-5 255 pound TE, but he made an impact for UMass last Saturday.

If any Blog readers like to travel, the last week of August seems to be a great time to visit New Mexico. Yesterday Mrs Blog and I basically had Carlsbad Caverns Nation Park to ourselves. The lack of crowds was wonderful. We road the 750 foot elevator down to the cavern with just the two of us and we were almost alone in the vast and wonderful Big Room. We passed maybe six people in the hour-and-a-half walk through the cavern. It was so quiet we could hear the "plink" of water droplets that had managed to make it through the nearly 1,000 feet of limestone over our heads. It was an amazin' experience
