Considering the fact that ASU was favored by 23 points, a good performance by the Aggies. NMSU outgained ASU 549 yards to 400 yards and had the seven sacks. Not bad at all. ASU is a PAC-12 school and they are recruiting at a different level than NMSU, so to play as well as they did is impressive.

Even without the win, getting paid $800,000 and being on National TV is a win for the football program and the athletic budget. Hopefully, NMSU can find six wins and become bowl eligible. Beating UNM and UTEP would be a good start towards that goal. So good luck this season Aggies, except in that Texas State game.
