Good first

NMSU got on the board. McDermott to Williams. McDermott led them twice in La Tech territory in the first. Their first drive sputtered - 10-yard penalty, a busted run and a sack forced them to punt.

Second drive was much better. McDermott hit Dubois down the right sideline on 3-and-13 for a big gain inside the 15. Later, he hit Williams on a slant. Williams numbers so far - 2 catches, 63 yards and a TD to go with 19 yards rushing on two carries.
