It's a non-conference clash as New Mexico State from Conference USA heads to the Lone Star State to face the No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies of the SEC on Saturday night.
New Mexico State is looking to break a two-game skid after a 41-28 home loss to Western Kentucky last weekend. The Aggies, now 2-7 overall and 1-5 in Conference USA play, fell behind 14-0 just five minutes into the game and couldn’t close the gap.
Texas A&M, meanwhile, has had two weeks to regroup after a tough 31-20 road defeat against South Carolina on November 2. The Aggies, now 7-2 overall and 5-1 in the SEC, are tied with Tennessee at the top of the conference. In that matchup, Texas A&M quickly found themselves down 14-0, managed to edge ahead 20-17, and went into halftime level at 20.
