LAS CRUCES, N.M. – B.J. Mitchell rushed for 193 yards on 34 carries and two touchdowns and Nevada struck for three TDs at the end of the first half during a 48-24 win over New Mexico State on Saturday.

Nevada (6-3, 5-1 Western Athletic Conference) had 560 total yards, keeping the turnover-prone Aggies (0-10, 0-6) winless under first-year coach Hal Mumme.

Mitchell scored on a 4-yard run with 1:57 before halftime, putting the Wolf Pack ahead 17-7. Aggies running back Justine Buries fumbled on the ensuing possession, and Nevada’s Jeff Rowe threw a 64-yard TD pass to Caleb Spencer on the next play.

Rowe completed 22 of 34 passes for 271 yards and three TDs.
