Nevada escapes Las Vegas with a 27-20 victory over New Mexico

A late New Mexico surge fell just short in a 27-20 loss to the Nevada Wolf Pack in Las Vegas, Nev. on Saturday evening.

New Mexico possessed the pigskin on its own 39, down 27-13 with 6:47 remaining. A 42-yard, highlight-reel catch by Alex Ericksen immediately put the Lobos inside the redzone. The seven-play, 61-yard drive was capped-off on a one-yard score by tailback Bobby Cole to make it a one possession contest.
