Liberty University spoils Aggie homecoming with 30-14 C-USA win

Liberty University spoiled New Mexico State University’s Homecoming weekend, handing the Aggies another Conference USA loss at Aggie Memorial Stadium.

Official response and confirmed impact

NMSU head coach Tony Sanchez made a quarterback switch to open the night, starting Trey Hedden over Adam Damante.

The decision ultimately paid off for NMSU on their first drive of the night.

Hedden led the offense downfield, connecting repeatedly with wide receiver AJ Williams III before finding him in the end zone for the game’s opening touchdown.

“Immediately we added a spark,” Sanchez said about making the QB change. “You saw that first drive of the game, him going down, completing balls.

You know we got that first touchdown. We were able to push the ball a little more down the field.”

Following the scoring drive, the Aggie defense took complete control of the first half.

Defensive end Gabe Peterson held down the line of scrimmage, while linebacker Tory Gethers picked up back-to-back sacks on Liberty’s quarterback, finishing the game with 10 total tackles.
