NMSU head coach Doug Martin spoke with the media on Tuesday and said all-world running back Larry Rose III is doubtful for Saturday’s game.
Martin also said junior linebacker Derek Ibekwe is also listed as doubtful as both had sports hernia surgeries and are still recovering, but otherwise the Aggies come in “relatively healthy” for Saturday.
One of more interesting things Martin said is he thinks the Aggies can match UTEP’s physicality along the line of scrimmage, and thinks the talent level at NMSU is the best since he’s been the head man.
