As the Jerry Kill era gets underway for NM State Football, the Aggies will open the season in front of a national audience. For the first time since 2018, Aggie Memorial Stadium will play host to a nationally televised contest when the Aggies take on Nev ada at 8 p.m. MT, Aug. 27, on ESPN2. The opening act to the highly anticipated 2022 season will mark just the fourth time in NM State football program history that ESPN has made the trip to Las Cruces (2018, ESPN2; 2009, ESPNU; 2007, ESPN2). "I don't thi nk people truly understand that environment, stated Kill. "When you say, 'Hey, we're going to be on ESPN', that's a big deal to recruits and a big deal to our university… It's a great way to show our school off. It's a great way to highlight what we're doing here. It's a great way to show Las Cruces off." The week zero contest will be the first of three NM State games in four weeks to air on national television (September 1 at Minnesota, Big Ten Network; September 17 at Wisconsin, Big Ten Network). ES PN's last visit to Las Cruces came when the Aggies hosted Wyoming to open the 2018 season. - Las Cruces Sun News

On top of learning a new system under New Mexico State football coach Jerry Kill and defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling, Chris Ojoh is also learning names as the Aggies coaching staff has continued to add players since spring practice. Ojoh was among th e best players on the Aggies roster last year and the best defensive player. Following a year that Ojoh led the Aggies with six sacks, 16 tackles for loss and three forces fumbles and was second with 72 tackles, he entered the transfer portal shortly aft er the season and the announced coaching change, but ultimately decided to return. "I really just wanted to see New Mexico State headed in the right direction," Ojoh said. "I'm a big person into feeling like home and good energy. When Coach Kill and I ta lked, it felt like home. They had a vision and had a plan and I wanted to follow through with it."Ojoh is one of at least 12 linebackers learning Dreiling's 4-2-5 scheme, where he has moved from out outside linebacker last year, to the inside wher e he pairs with fellow senior returning starter Trevor Brohard. "When I was at Eastern Washington, I played inside at the (weakside linebacker) and I loved it there," Ojoh said. "I look at it more as an opportunity to be on the field and show my versatil ity. I like to look at myself as an athlete, and now there is less space to work with and not a lot of open field tackles and one-on-one plays. There is less room for error." - Las Cruces Sun News
