LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State football program is set to meet with Battle of I-25 rival New Mexico on Sept. 9 up in Albuquerque, N.M. The sides have been given a kickoff of 6 p.m. MT at Dreamstyle Stadium.
Heading into the 108th match-up between the two teams, UNM leads the series 70-32-5 over NM State. The Aggies took down the Lobos, 32-31, at Aggie Memorial Stadium back on Sept. 10, 2016 when the two squads last met. The victory was the first for NM State since their 42-28 victory at UNM back on Oct. 1, 2011. Â
NM State returns plenty of experience as they bring back 17 starters from last year's team that toppled their in-state rival while the Lobos return just 10.
Fans can listen in on the action on 99.5 FM Zia Country as Aggie Hall of Fame inductee Jack Nixon covers the play-by-play for the contest.
