Bowl season'is underway after an exciting 2022 college football campaign. One successful program taking part in the postseason once again is the New Mexico State Aggies, who will'face Bowling Green in the Quick Lane Bowl on Monday, Dec. 26.
Here's everything you need to know about New Mexico State's bowl game history before making its next appearance.
New Mexico State Bowl Game History
New Mexico State hasn't been that much of an active participant in the college football postseason. The Aggies have played in four bowls across the school's history prior to facing Bowling Green.
The Aggies made their first bowl appearance in 1935 as a part of the Border Conference. They ended up picking up a 14-14 tie against Hardin-Simmons in the Sun Bowl that year.
New Mexico returned to the Sun Bowl twice more after that (1959, 1960), winning both outings. Unfortunately, the Aggies went 56 seasons before they'd make another bowl appearance, which is an FBS record. They wound up winning in their 2017 return, defeating Utah State, 26-20, in overtime at the Arizona Bowl.
