SCOUTING THE VANDALS
Idaho enters Saturday's contest with an overall record of 3-7 and a 2-4 mark in conference play. The Vandals have lost their previous two contests, most recently to Coastal Carolina at home, 13-7.

In the Vandals most recent match up, the team started backup quarterback Mason Petrino following an injury to starter Matt Linehan. With his first start of the year, Petrino went 22-for-31 with 241 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

Out of the backfield, Idaho turns to running back Aaron Duckworth who has totaled 873 yards with three touchdowns in 10 games this season. The Vandals offense also looks to receiver Alfonso Onunwor who leads the team with 54 receptions for 693 yards and seven touchdowns.

As a defense, Idaho has allowed 28.2 points and 384.7 yards of total offense per game. The defense has been led by linebacker Tony Lashley who has 91 total tackles with 8.5 for loss. Linebacker Ed Hall has also posted a team-high three interceptions.

CHANGE THE RECORD
Entering week 13, NM State senior running back Larry Rose III and redshirt senior quarterback Tyler Rogers look to etch their names further into the program's record book. The two players sit in the top-5 for a combined 11 career offensive records for the Aggies.

Rose III already has his name second all-time for rushing yards (4,273) and rushing touchdowns (34), third in carries (722), and all-purpose yards (5,349) and fourth in scoring (228).

Rogers also looks to rewrite the record books as he is second all-time in passing yards (9,730), completions (863), attempts (1,406), passing touchdowns (66), total offense (10,353) and total touchdowns (79).

Wide receiver Jaleel Scott also sits 10th all-time in receiving touchdowns (10), despite only suiting up for his second season as an Aggie.
