Texas A&M's uniform combination vs. New Mexico State has been revealed

Texas A&M (7-2, 5-1 SEC) will host New Mexico State on Saturday night for what many of us consider a “get right” game after the Aggies’ Week 11 bye week, but it was the 44-20 loss at South Carolina has kicked A&M out of the good favor of the CFP selection committee.

Texas A&M’s road to the playoffs and the SEC Championship Game is clear: Win out, and everything will take care of itself. However, the obstacles include a road test vs. Auburn and the season finale vs. Texas, who could end up being the No. 1-ranked team in the country.

Either way, head coach Mike Elko is confident his team is ready to respond to the South Carolina loss after two consecutive weeks of solid practice. For entertainment reasons, Texas A&M’s uniform combination vs. the Aggies was a no-brainer.

The Texas A&M Aggies will wear the all-maroon look for the second time this season. They first wore the combination during the early October win against Missouri. Here’s a video from Texas A&M’s media team revealing the uniform:

Police say teenage boy arrested in connection with fatal shootings of 4 family members in New Mexico

BELEN, N.M. — A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the deaths of four family members in a rural area in New Mexico, authorities said Sunday.

State Police said the victims were found fatally shot at their Valencia County home early Saturday morning.

The name of the teenager was being withheld Sunday by The Associated Press because he’s a juvenile.

Police spokesman Ray Wilson said the suspect was extremely intoxicated at the scene and was taken to a hospital for detoxification.

The teen will be booked into a juvenile detention center on four open counts of murder after being released from the hospital, according to Wilson, who said the office of the medical examiner is still trying to identify the victims.

Authorities said the boy called 911 around 3:30 a.m. Saturday and allegedly told a dispatcher that he had killed his entire family.

When county deputies arrived at the scene, they said the suspect walked out of the home with his hands in the air and surrendered without incident.

Deputies reported finding four people dead inside the home and a handgun on the kitchen table.

Wilson said the county sheriff’s office handed the case over to the State Police for investigation of the quadruple homicide.

New Mexico hires Idaho football coach Jason Eck to replace Bronco Mendenhall

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico hired Idaho football coach Jason Eck on Saturday to replace Bronco Mendenhall, a day after Eck’s Vandals dropped out of the FCS playoffs.

The 47-year-old Eck was 26-13 in three seasons at Idaho, leading the Vandals to playoff appearances each year. Idaho was 10-4 this season, falling 52-19 on Friday night at Big Sky rival Montana State in the FCS quarterfinals.

“I am truly humbled to be selected as the head coach of the New Mexico Lobos,” Eck said. “I know that the university community, students, alumni, Lobo Nation and greater Albuquerque and New Mexico communities are eager for success and I cannot wait to give that to them.”

Mendenhall left for Mountain West rival Utah State a week ago after going 5-7 overall and 3-4 in conference in his lone season at the school.

“I am thrilled to have Jason Eck as our next head football coach,” New Mexico athletic director Fernando Lovo said. “Jason has led Idaho to tremendous success, turning around the program and building upon success year after year, through recruiting, teaching and a strong culture.”

Eck spent six seasons as an assistant at South Dakota State — the last three as offensive coordinator — before taking over at Idaho. The former Wisconsin offensive lineman also has coached at Montana State, Minnesota State, Western Illinois, Hampton, Ball State and Winona State.
