Florida International 34-13 New Mexico State (Oct 29, 2024) Game Recap – ESPN
MIAMI — — Eric Rivers recorded 295 yards receiving to set a Florida International single-game record, and his three touchdown catches helped the Panthers beat New Mexico State 34-13 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
Only two receivers in Conference USA history have had more yards receiving in game than Rivers — Houston’s Donnie Avery with 346 and Louisiana Tech’s Carlos Henderson with 326. FIU’s previous school record was 201, set by three players including T.Y. Hilton.
New Mexico State only had 246 total yards — and one touchdown.
Rivers finished with three receptions of over 50 yards, highlighted by a one-handed grab with 7:49 left in the third quarter to give FIU a 17-6 lead.
His quarterback, Keyone Jenkins, threw for 338 yards and a career-high four touchdowns for FIU (3-6, 2-3). Eleven of Jenkins’ 18 completions went to Rivers.
Jenkins’ third touchdown pass was to Dean Patterson with 7:45 left in the fourth to rebuild a two-possession lead at 27-13.
Brandon Nunez and Santino Marucci each threw an interception for New Mexico State (2-6, 1-4), which was coming off a bye following a 33-30 double-overtime win at Louisiana Tech.
FIU is off until Nov. 16 – a span of 18 days – when it hits the road to face Jacksonville State.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — An ‘imposter nurse’ in Las Cruces is facing 34 charges after nearly causing the death of a patient and illegally giving medications to patients under 18 years old.
A Doña Ana County grand jury indicted Margarita Gonzalez. She is accused of assuming the identities of nurses in Texas to get hired at four nursing facilities in Las Cruces:
- Village at Northrise
- Las Cruces Wellness and Rehabilitation
- Peak Behavioral Health
- Matrix Home Care
The New Mexico Department of Justice’s Medicaid Fraud and Elder Abuse Bureau investigated and discovered instances where Gonzalez illegally gave injections and dispensed prescriptions, including narcotics to eight inpatient residents under 18 years old.
An investigation also found Gonzalez was also about to allegedly give “an incorrect insulin dose” to a patient that they claim could’ve killed the patient if another nurse hadn’t caught the error.
Several facilities fired Gonzalez over patient safety concerns and an observed lack of knowledge.
“Impersonating a healthcare provider is a reckless and selfish crime that subjects those most vulnerable to risk of serious injury or death,” Attorney General Raúl Torrez said. “I will not tolerate those who risk the safety of patients or cause danger and unnecessary confusion within the healthcare system. These charges should keep anyone attempting to pose as a healthcare provider on notice: we will find you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law to protect New Mexicans.”
Gonzalez’s charges include identity theft, nursing without a license, abuse of a resident, distribution of controlled substances to a minor and fraud totaling over $25,000.
If convicted on all counts, Gonzalez could face up to 100 years in prison.
