The 1935 New Mexico A&M Aggies football team was an American football team that represented New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (now known as New Mexico State University) as a member of the Border Conference during the 1935 college football season. In their seventh year under head coach Jerry Hines, the team compiled a 7–1–2 record, finished second in the conference, played Hardin–Simmons to a tie in the 1936 Sun Bowl, and outscored all opponents by a total of 210 to 42. [2] [3] The team played its six home games at Quesenberry Field in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
