Texas A&M opponent New Mexico State has special teams issues

New Mexico State already is facing long enough odds when it plays at Texas A&M on Saturday. Erratic play on special teams is only making the problem worse.

New Mexico State coach Doug Martin said special teams were a major concern ahead of Saturday’s battle of Aggies at Kyle Field. New Mexico State suffered a string of miscues last week in a 22-19 loss to Sun Belt Conference rival Georgia Southern.
