BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - For the second time this season, NM State football will play in front of a national audience on the ESPN family of networks. The Southeastern Conference has announced that the Aggies' November 19 trip to Missouri will kick off at 5:30 p.m. MT, airing on ESPNU. 
 
The contest will be the first-ever meeting between NM State and Missouri. This season, the Tigers are 4-5 with wins over Louisiana Tech, Abilene Christian, Vanderbilt, and South Carolina. Missouri will face No. 5/No. 5 Tennessee in Knoxville before returning home to take on the Aggies.  
 
Under new head coach Jerry Kill, NM State has recorded the most wins in a season since 2018 when the Aggies went 3-9. With three scheduled contests remaining, NM State looks to chase bowl eligibility for the first time since 2017. 
 
In addition to the two ESPN network games, the Aggies have also played a pair of contests on the Big Ten Network against Minnesota and Wisconsin, making the trip to SEC Country their fourth nationally televised game of the year. 
 
This Saturday, November 12, NM State will host Lamar for Senior Day. The pregame festivities will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the game kicking off at noon. Tickets are still available through the NM State website or by calling the Pan American Center ticket office at (575) 646-1420.
