New Mexico State has finally defeated UTEP in the Battle of I-10 for the first time in six years, bringing the series record to 55-36-2 in favor of UTEP. This is the first game of the year in which a low-tier team has defeated a higher tier team, with UTEP being in the mid-level C-USA. The Aggies moved the ball effectively all game, with every drive ending with a score. WR Teldrick Morgan was the player of the game with a pair of receiving touchdowns for 52 yards, as well as a kick return for touchdown to begin the second half. However, the real breakout star was sophomore QB Tyler Rogers. He went a perfect 17-17, throwing for 255 yards and 3 touchdowns, with no interceptions. Coach Torry has continued to laud Rogers on his accuracy, as he has thrown only one incompletion, an interception, in his first 2 games. UTEP senior quarterback Jameill Showers also played excellently, with 70 yards rushing, and two rushing touchdowns. The Aggie defense struggled to contain the explosive running game of UTEP allowing 214 yards on the ground. "We have to make better reads on the option," commented Larry Coyer, the defensive coordinator, "We are overpursuing, we need to slow down, and make our tackles, simple as that." The Aggies move to 1-1 on the season, with next week's game likely being a challenge, at #9 UCLA.
