For the first time since 2002, UTEP enters a college football game with the NMSU Aggies as a double digit underdog.
And also for the first time since 2002 when NMSU went 7-5, the Aggies are in a positon to beat UTEP for the first time in eight seasons when the rivalry is renewed this weekend in Las Cruces.
Despite a 1-2 record, NMSU is a few possessions away from a 3-0 start, and playing some of the best football under head coach Doug Martin.
It all starts with senior quarterback Tyler Rogers who is one of the most accurate passers in FBS, and now has a plethora of legit weapons to distribute production.
