Associated Press

LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Devon Dampier and Eli Sanders had touchdown runs in the final 3:53 to rally New Mexico to a 50-45 victory over Utah State on Saturday.

Sanders also had the first of three rushing scores — a 20-yarder — in the final quarter for New Mexico (3-4, 2-1 Mountain West Conference), which trailed 38-23 at one point in the second half.

After Sanders scored to get the Lobos within 38-36 with 10:18 remaining, Utah State (1-6, 0-3) answered with Herschel Turner’s 43-yard touchdown run for a nine-point advantage. Dampier ran it in from 5 yards out and Sanders added a 12-yard scoring run with 1:13 left to play to pull out the victory.

Dampier completed 17 of 27 passes for 272 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions for New Mexico. His scoring tosses came in the second quarter — a 21-yarder to Javen Jacobs and a 14-yarder to Ryan Davis. Dampier also carried 15 times for 105 yards. Luke Wysong had 10 catches for 156 yards.

Spencer Petras finished with 360 yards on 32-for-47 passing with two touchdowns and an interception for the Aggies. He added a touchdown run. Rahsul Faison rushed 24 times for 79 yards and two scores. Jalen Royals hauled in 11 passes for 188 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown. Otto Tia had a 4-yard catch for a score.

Miyagishima drops out of governor’s race, endorses Hull

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima, who ran for governor as a Democrat and then as an independent, is endorsing Republican Gregg Hull.

Miyagishima ended his bid for New Mexico governor after weighing a Supreme Court appeal to stay on the ballot.

Miyagishima said on Friday he decided not to pursue an appeal to the Supreme Court over his ballot status.

“I have known Mayor Hull for almost 12 years. He is intelligent, hardworking, and a man of integrity. His record reflects his dedication to the people of both Rio Rancho and New Mexico,” Miyagishima said. “My goal is to help transform Mayor Hull into Governor Hull, deliver for the southwestern part of our state, and close the gap in our Native American communities. I am eager to mobilize support in southern New Mexico and our native lands for our future governor, Gregg Hull!”

Hull called the endorsement a sign of shared priorities as the governor’s race moves forward.

“Ken’s support demonstrates our shared commitment to the people of New Mexico,” Hull said. “Together, we will tackle the challenges in our communities, stimulate our economy, and ensure that every New Mexican has a voice in government.”

Hull is running against Democrat Deb Haaland, the former Secretary of the Interior.
