AMHERST, Mass. — New Mexico State earned its first football road win in over three years Saturday, defending UMass 23-13 on the Minutemen’s homecoming day.
It’s the first road win since Sept. 22, 2018 at UTEP. Coming into Saturday, NMSU (3-5) shared the nation’s longest Football Bowl Subdivision road losing streak — with UMass — at 21 games.
UMass led 10-0 midway through the second quarter and 13-10 at halftime before the Aggies shut them out in the second half.
Albuquerque’s Diego Pavia came on at quarterback in relief of Gavin Frakes and sparked the offense, finishing with 194 yards and his first two touchdowns passing as an Aggie.
