LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State football team and Fresno State have signed a home-and-home series for the 2019 and 2020 seasons Director of Athletics Mario Moccia announced.
 
"We are really excited to add another Mountain West opponent to our schedule," Aggie head coach Doug Martin said. "Fresno State is a traditional power in that conference and is exactly the type of game we want to play."
 
The first meeting in eight seasons between the Aggies and Bulldogs is scheduled for Sept. 28, 2019, at Aggie Memorial Stadium. NM State then makes the return trip to Bulldog Stadium in 2020 for an Oct. 17 showdown.
 
NM State's game with the Bulldogs in 2019 moves the team's originally scheduled game against Louisiana in Las Cruces to Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020.
 
New Mexico State wrapped up the 2017 campaign 7-6 overall and 4-4 in conference play after snapping a 57-year bowl drought when it captured the 2017 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl championship with a thrilling 26-20 overtime win over Utah State on Dec. 29, 2017.
