Head Coach Victor Esparza stated, "Adams State University was a great season opener for us because they run such a fast offense. It was a good experience for us because we will face similar offenses this upcoming season in conference play. This will help us identify some areas for improvement, but it also highlights our strength on the bench. We have a great dynamic, and I am looking forward to playing in the Anchor D Arena this weekend."

The Aggies will host the Aggie Classic this upcoming weekend, taking on Ozark Christian College and Bacone College.
