In his third season at UNM, Ferguson ran for 1,177 yards and 13 touchdowns, which again led to his selection to the first team all-MWC team. 2008 was his 4th and final year at New Mexico. During the season Ferguson rushed for 1,105 yards and 13 touchdowns, but the Lobos finished with a 4–8 record in which they lost 5 of the final 6 games and did not make a bowl game. He was also a team captain in 2008.{{cite web |title=Rodney Ferguson |url=http://golobos.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/ferguson_rodney00.html |website=CSTV.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081229101303/http://golobos.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/ferguson_rodney00.html |archive-date=December 29, 2008 |accessdate=November 16, 2020}}
