The stadium was packed in 90 degree weather for the Aggies home opener against the Wyoming Cowboys. The game was being broadcast on ESPN2 for the first time in a decade and the atmosphere couldn’t be any more electric.
The players were jumping around and had definitely been ready for this one to start.
And then they weren’t.
WY had ball for 13 min in first quarter and had 158 yards, compared to two minutes and -5 yards for New Mexico State.
The Wyoming defense was dominating, keeping the Aggies from getting anything going all night-they didn’t get their first first down until under a minute to go in the half.
