re: Anybody else think that New Mexico team was one of the worst?

One of the worst, definitely. But these rent-a-wins are expected to be some of the worst, otherwise they wouldn't agree to being paid for an old fashioned arse whooping. Just like Vandy or Kentucky wouldn't agree to a one game series at Ohio State or Oregon, they'd require a home and home because they believe they are on equal footing to ask for that. Only bad football schools that need the money will agree to these rent-a-wins.
And the game we played in the 1st quarter would have had us down 14-0 at least instead of up 14-0 if we were playing a team with even a little respect. We would have made Vandy look like Bama if we did that against them. But we came out up two touchdowns and proceeded to steamroll them after, showing how bad they were. Look no further than the 1-yard punt if you want to see the mediocrity of their players. That was a clean punt that shanked for one yard. Most other teams would consider a 30 yard punt a shanked punt.
