Matchup

Recap

Western Kentucky stormed past New Mexico State 35-16, fueled by quarterback Rodney Tisdale Jr.'s impressive four touchdown passes. The Hilltoppers seized control after falling behind 6-0 early, with Matthew Henry hauling in two touchdown receptions while Moussa Barry and Jackson West each added scoring grabs. Despite New Mexico State's Ryan Hawk connecting on three field goals and Stilton McKelvey returning a late fumble 71 yards for a touchdown, the Aggies couldn't overcome Western Kentucky's offensive firepower.
