On a day where two Aggies climbed up the record book, as Larry Rose III moved up to sixth on the NM State career list for all-purpose yards (3,871) and Tyler Rogers moved into fifth-place in touchdowns responsible for at NM State (45). However, the accomplishments were thwarted by the Red Wolves strong play as they defeated the Aggies 41-22.
