New Mexico State was invited to the Sun Bowl, where the Aggies defeated Utah State. This was the last time the Aggies would appear in a bowl game until the 2017 team appeared in the Arizona Bowl, defeating Utah State once again. For the second time in what proved to be four consecutive years, a New Mexico State back won the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rushing title, Pervis Atkins in 1959, Bob Gaiters in 1960, and Preacher Pilot in 1961 and 1962. Woodson was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
