LAS CRUCES — New Mexico State recently agreeing to join Conference USA as of July 1, 2023, couldn’t have come at a better time.
Especially with the Mountain West Conference clearly not being an option.
The currently unaffiliated Aggies wrapped up their seventh and final game with a Mountain West opponent in 2021, getting swept in the series.
Utah State quarterback Logan Bonner threw for 359 yards while receiver Devin Thompkins hauled in nine of those balls for a whopping 215 yards and two touchdowns as NMSU dropped a 35-13 home decision on Saturday afternoon in front of an announced 7,802 attendees at Aggie Memorial Stadium.
