There is a bit of a sibling rivalry intertwined with the Rio Grande Rivalry, which has New Mexico State football playing at 18½-point favorite New Mexico on Saturday. Roughly 22,500 tickets had been sold by late Friday for the game.
UNM senior safety Jerrick Reed’s brother Torrey Gill is on the Aggies’ coaching staff as a graduate assistant who works with the wide receivers.
Gill came to visit his younger brother at UNM two weeks ago when NMSU had a break, Gonzales said.
Gonzales was jokingly asked if Reed gave Gill any inside information. “(Reed) wouldn’t have anything good (to give him),” Gonzales responded in jest.
