The Texas A&M Aggies don't want to overlook any opponent.
' home matchup against the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday looks like a blowout waiting to happen. A&M is 7-2, tied atop the SEC standings and ranked No. 15 in the country, while New Mexico State is 2-7 and at the bottom of Conference USA.
"I do not know that I want to go on record saying they are a smaller school," head coach Mike Elko said Wednesday. "They went into Auburn last year and beat Auburn in Jordan-Hare . I think these games make a lot of sense for a lot of reasons. Having been at some of those schools, it is an opportunity to take their kids onto a really big stage. I am sure they are going to be extremely excited about the opportunity to play in Kyle Field in front of 100,000 people.
It is true that New Mexico State did walk into Jordan-Hare and crush Auburn 31-10 last season, but there are some caveats. That upset was led by head coach Jerry Kill and quarterback Diego Pavia, both of whom are now at Vanderbilt. This year's team, led by head coach Tony Sanchez, has unfortunately not been able to produce the same results.
