NM State football

After a disappointing home loss to Western Kentucky, fans are wondering whether or not UTEP is ready to move on from head football coach Dana Dimel.

Last night's win by New Mexico State over UTEP in the 100th Battle of I-10 is a clear indication that both football programs are heading in opposite directions.

In his first year in Las Cruces, Jerry Kill took one of the worst programs in college football and turned the New Mexico State Aggies into a six win bowl team.

Starting in the 2023-24 academic season, C-USA will move all of their games played in October to weeknight games, according to the report.

The latest college football casualty is New Mexico State, which announced early Thursday morning that the program will postpone the fall season to spring due to "COVID player health & safety concerns as well as 14-day quarantine requirement when traveling back into (New Mexico)."

Earlier this week, the Mountain West released the league model for the upcoming season, featuring an eight conference schedule plus two non-conference opponents and a start date set for Sept. 26. This complicates things for the college football season in the area.

The Athletic put together a compilation of the 25 least dominant college football teams of the past 50 years and, as some might imagine, UTEP football was featured twice in the article released on Friday.

The NM State athletic department continues to see more positive cases of COVID-19 pop up internally, as the university announced 20 additional cases on Tuesday.
