Larry Rose III questionable for season opener at UTEP

LAS CRUCES – The New Mexico State football team may be without its best offensive player when the Aggies open the season Sept. 3 at UTEP.

Aggies head coach Doug Martin said junior running back Larry Rose III is questionable for the UTEP game following surgery for a minor sports hernia. Martin said Rose is probable for NMSU's home opener against New Mexico in Week 2.

"He is disappointed more than anything because it came out of nowhere, but he has a great attitude about getting back on the field," Martin said.

Rose hasn't practiced since last Wednesday.
