New Mexico State coach Jerry Kill criticized New Mexico athletic director Eddie Nunez after Saturday's Isleta New Mexico Bowl, saying Nunez attempted to deny NMSU access to practice facilities in retaliation for an incident earlier this year.

Kill, whose team lost to Fresno State 37-10 at New Mexico's University Stadium in Albuquerque, ended his news conference by saying New Mexico State had a great bowl experience but faced "all kinds of stuff" with its attempts to practice at New Mexico, where the event has been played since 2006.

A New Mexico spokesman told ESPN that New Mexico State used New Mexico's indoor facility on each day it wanted to practice, as contracted through the bowl game.
