LAS CRUCES, NM — The players said it. Coach Hal Mumme said it too. The New Mexico State Aggies went through possibly their most grueling practices of the year during the past week in preparation for Saturday's affair versus Alcorn State. The workouts came on the heals of the team's disappointing performance last weekend against the University of New Mexico — a 35-24 NMSU loss. The hard work paid off, as the Aggies pummeled the Braves 45-10 at Aggie Memorial Stadium on Saturday."We got after it," Mumme said. "We weren't happy after last week's Lobo game. It wasn't the best week of practice but It was an intense week of practice and I think everybody was like me — pretty much mad at the world." During the week, the team worked specifically on running the football and solid play along both the offensive and defensive lines. NMSU responded, pounding Alcorn for 220 yards on the ground and recording six sacks on the defensive side of the ball while holding the Braves to minus 13 yards rushing.
