Thanks to a dominating performance on defense, the New Mexico State Aggies now have five wins in a single season for the first time since 2004!

How did the Aggies get their fifth win? By flying around the field and making plays.

The NM State defense forced Idaho to turn the ball over on their first two possessions and sacked Idaho freshman quarterback Colton Richardson 11 times to shore up the most wins in the Doug Martin era.

The game began with both teams starting their backup quarterbacks but on the first drive, Idaho quarterback Mason Petrino would fall hard on his shoulder and be out the rest of the game.
