  James Jones rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown, Adam Damante threw for two scores and New Mexico State beat Sam Houston 30-24 on Wednesday night. New Mexico State had touchdown drives of one and two plays in the second quarter to take a 14-10 lead into halftime. After Sam Houston State began the third with an 81-yard touchdown, the Aggies scored 16 straight points to go ahead 30-17. Damante had a pass intercepted midway through the fourth and Sam Houston capitalized on the short field with a touchdown. But New Mexico State used six plays to go 44 yards and run out the clock.

Damante was 19 of 29 for 160 yards against one of the stingiest pass defenses in the country as Sam Houston entered allowing just 137.8 passing yards per game to rank fourth in the country. Only Texas Tech has eclipsed 200 yards passing against the Bearkats this season. TJ Washington Jr. also had a rushing touchdown for New Mexico State (3-4, 2-1 Conference USA). Landyn Locke threw for 235 yards with one touchdown and one interception for Sam Houston (1-6, 0-3). Locke, who entered with 11 touchdown passes averaging 34.5 yards for the second-highest average among FBS quarterbacks with at least 10 TD tosses this season, found Tim Burns Jr. over the middle on the first play of the third for the long touchdown. Sam Houston took an early 7-0 lead after Terrence Guillory II blocked a punt and Sam Adams recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown. - New Mexico State/AP College Football

He had an explosive 46-yard rush in the first quarter to set NM State up for their first points of the game, and he book-ended it with a seven-yard touchdown run to cap off the scoring. Jones became the first Aggie to record back-to-back 100-yard games since 2019. He tallied five rushes of 10 yards or longer, improving his yards per carry on the year to 6.62, which ranks 13th in FBS. - CUSA Football

  James Jones had a season-high 155 yards rushing and a touchdown on 20 carries, De'Marcus Peters had a pick-6, and New Mexico State beat Western Kentucky 34-13 on Thursday night in the Conference USA opener for both teams. The Aggies (2-3) have three defensive touchdowns this season, tied with Alabama, North Dakota State and Notre Dame for most in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Adam Damante made his first start of the season in place of Trey Hedden, who had thrown four interceptions and had one touchdown pass in back-to-back losses for New Mexico State. Damante was 15-of-26 passing for 146 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Peters, who also returned a fumble 85 yards for a score in a 29-19 loss at Hawaii on Sept. 12, picked off a pass from Rodney Tisdale Jr. near midfield and returned it for a touchdown that gave the Aggies a 10-point lead about 6 1/2 minutes into the second quarter. Damante pulled the handoff on a zone-read play and raced to the right corner of the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown that capped a 10-play, 78-yard drive and gave the Aggies a 20-3 lead with 2:38 left until halftime. Brock Glenn scored on a 9-yard run and Tisdale was 29-of-40 passing for 314 yards with an interception for Western Kentucky (1-4). Karl Campbell kicked first-half field goals of 45 and 41 yards. New Mexico State, which went into the game with six sacks this season, had six sacks and a season-high nine tackles for loss. Ilya Uvaydov made a season-long 52-yard field goal and a 28-yarder for the Aggies. New Mexico State beat Mercyhurst 51-14 on Sept. 5 and the Hilltoppers beat the Lakers 52-7 last Saturday. - New Mexico State/AP College Football

  TK King caught the go-ahead touchdown pass for New Mexico State to win the 102nd Battle of I-10 with 21 seconds left, 34-31 over UTEP on Saturday afternoon in the regular season finale for both teams. With just over a minute to play, on fourth-and-11, Skyler Locklear connected with Jaylan Brown for a 34-yard catch on the right sideline to put UTEP into field goal range. Kenny Odom scored on a 28-yard toss over his shoulder that he grabbed with one hand to take the lead, 31-27 with 56 seconds left. Aggies quarterback Adam Damonte completed two passes to get New Mexico State from its own 25 to UTEP's 44.

  James Jones ran for 115 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries as Delaware State weathered a Morgan State comeback attempt to win 14-12 on Friday night. Jones scored less than a minute into the first quarter on a 68-yard rush that gave the Hornets (7-3, 3-0 MEAC) a 7-0 lead. Jones came close to another six seconds into the second quarter, but fumbled at the goal-line. The ball was recovered by freshman offensive lineman Amori Francis for his first career touchdown.

Randall Nauden, who ran for 104 total yards on just seven carries, had a 67-yard rushing score for the Bears (3-7, 0-3) to get his team within two points early in the fourth quarter, but the two-point attempt was no good. After connecting on 19-and 37-yard field goals in the game, Alex Amaya's attempt from 45 yards as time expired sailed wide to leave the comeback effort just short. Morgan State leads the historical series, 10-4. Delaware State had not won since a 33-30 win on Nov. 11, 2017. - AP College Football
