When Lobos face Aggies, it’s not ‘business as usual’
Talk about your splashy series debut.
In 1917, in his first season as head football coach at the New Mexico College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts, George G. Griffin coached his team to a 110-3 (no typo) victory over the University of New Mexico.
Top that, Jerry Kill, we dare you.
Saturday evening at Aggie Memorial Stadium in Las Cruces, Kill’s first team at New Mexico State (so renamed in 1960) will host third-year coach Danny Gonzales’ Lobos in the 112th meeting between the intrastate rivals.
New Mexico (2-4) was listed as a 6½-point favorite over the Aggies (1-5) as of Friday afternoon.
