AGGIES vs Middle Tennessee State
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29 – 1:00PM
AGGIE MEMORIAL STADIUM
NM State will wrap up its 2025 campaign on Saturday afternoon as it welcomes Conference USA foe Middle Tennessee on Senior Day at Aggie Memorial Stadium.
The Aggies will look to remain perfect at home against the Blue Raiders as they enter the contest with a 3-0 all-time home record against MTSU. The bout set to kick off at 1 p.m. MT will feature 25 seniors being recognized during a ceremony ahead of the game.
With a win on Saturday, NM State will secure its third winning record at home in the last four seasons. This would also serve as just its 10th campaign with a home record of above .500 in the last 40 seasons.
Head Coach Tony Sanchez is looking to lead the Aggies to their fifth win of the season this Saturday, a number that would eclipse last season’s total by two wins. This would also represent the program’s 25th season with five or more wins over the last 67 years and fifth over the last 21 years.
After finishing 129th in the nation in turnover margin in 2024, the Aggie defense has flipped the script and has now forced at least one turnover in every game this season. With an emphasis on taking the ball away, the Aggies currently rank fourth in the conference (52nd nationally) in turnover margin, forcing 23 turnovers while giving the ball away 21 times.
On Saturday against UTEP, the Aggies came away with another interception as Stilton McKelvey made a spectacular toe-tapping interception to record the first interception of his career. With this, NM State has now come away with 15 interceptions and eight fumble recoveries, which rank seventh and 15th in the country, respectively. The Aggies also rank second among CUSA teams in both fumbles recovered and interceptions.
Last year, the Aggies marched into Murfreesboro in year one under Tony Sanchez and came away with a 36-21 victory after an early pick-six from current NM State Graduate assistant Dylan Early set the stage for the Aggies’ lone road victory of the season.
Saturday will mark the fourth time that the Aggies host the Blue Raiders and will look to remain undefeated against MTSU inside Aggie Memorial Stadium.
