Gameday Central: Everything you need to know for New Mexico State vs Sam Houston

Time, TV channel, details for Aggies vs Bearkats

New Mexico State (1-2, 0-1 Conference USA) takes on Sam Houston (2-1) for its first CUSA road game at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

The Aggies are coming off a dismal showing against Fresno State last Saturday, falling 48-0 to the Bulldogs on the road. NM State finished the first half with more penalty yards than total yards and allowed 525 yards to Fresno State, including 281 rushing yards. Both sophomore quarterback Parker Awad and senior quarterback Deuce Hogan struggled and finished with a combined 56 passing yards and three interceptions, with Hogan suffering a season-ending broken collarbone injury in the game.

The Bearkats are coming off a 31-13 win over Hawai’i last Saturday. Sam Houston’s offense has been driven by junior wide receiver Qua’Vez Humphreys, who caught two touchdowns against the Rainbow Warriors. Several former Bearkats are now among NM State’s ranks, including senior defensive backs Dakerric Hobbs and Da’Marcus Crosby, defensive coordinator Joe Morris and linebackers coach Jared Hensley. Crosby earned first-team All-CUSA honors last season with Sam Houston.

Fourth Republican candidate announces bid for New Mexico governor

SANTA FE, N.M. — Former New Mexico Public Regulation Commissioner Jim Ellison is running for governor as a Republican, he announced on social media Tuesday.

Ellison is running on affordability, opportunity and trust in government as the key points of his campaign. His experience includes serving on the NMPRC in 2023 and 2024.

“New Mexico deserves leadership that listens, acts, and delivers results. Our state has enormous potential, but too often that potential is held back by policies that don’t serve everyday New Mexicans,” he said on his website. “I’m running to bring practical solutions, honest accountability, and a renewed focus on the public interest.”

A Georgia native, Ellison has lived in New Mexico for 20 years and currently lives in the Albuquerque area with his wife and two children.

Ellison is aiming to get 5,000 signatures by Feb. 2, to appear on the primary ballot with at least three other Republicans who have announced their candidacy.

Ultra Health CEO Duke Rodriguez announced his campaign in December and recently confirmed to KOB 4 that he received enough signatures to appear on the primary ballot. Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull and New Mexico State Sen. Steve Lanier are also running.

Three Democrats are running – Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima.
