Diego Paiva threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns and New Mexico State held off a late rally by Bowling Green to win the Quick Lane Bowl 24 to 19 on Monday in Detroit. The Aggies were up 24 seven late in the third. The Falcons closed the gap in the fourth to make it 24-19 after a field goal as safety off a blocked punt and Camden North's 19 yard touchdown pass to Tyrone Brody with 6:27 left. But New Mexico State kept control the ball for the rest of the game to get the win.
