Utah State Defeats UNM 61-19



ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- New Mexico had a chance to take a 10-7 lead on a pass to Elijah Lilly in the end zone, but Utah State's Shaq Bond picked it off and then went 100-yards for a score to give Utah State a 14-3 lead, and that opened the floodgates as the Aggies rolled to a 61-19 win at Maverik Stadium. The loss was New Mexico's third straight and drops UNM to 3-5 overall and 1-3 in the Mountain West. The win was Utah State's seventh straight.

The Lobos opened the game up by pitching a three-and-out with a pair of pass break-ups, from Jalin Burrell and Marcus Hayes.
