Aggies earn an extra Christmas present: a bowl game in Detroit

Posted

For New Mexico State University football fans, Christmas got extended by another day.

On Dec. 4, a day after NMSU clobbered Valparaiso 65-3 in the Aggies’ final home game, the college football bowl field was announced. That’s when Aggie Nation learned NMSU would play Bowling Green in the Quick Lane Bowl, in Detroit, the day after Christmas.

Game time is Monday, Dec. 26, 12:30 p.m. Las Cruces time, and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

The victory over Valparaiso gave the Aggies a 6-6 record for the season.

"Getting that sixth game means a lot to our seniors,” said Aggie head coach Jerry Kill, in his first year leading NMSU. “I want to thank Valparaiso for coming out and playing us. Today was Senior Day, and I don't think I'll ever forget it. I want to thank everybody that was involved in putting this together from the college, doing all this. I think the seniors went out the way seniors should go out."

The Valparaiso game was not on NMSU’s original schedule, but a spot opened because the Aggies Oct. 22 home game against San Jose State was canceled due to a death on the SJSU team.
