Unfortunate Tragedy Forces Scheduling Change

Unfortunately there will be no game played in Albuquerque this week between the University of New Mexico Lobos and Air Force Falcons. Even more unfortunately when they do have their game that has been rescheduled to November, 23rd defensive lineman Nahje Flowers will not be able to take the field. The untimely death has saddened many across the college football world and thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been affected by this tragic story. The Air Force Falcons have shown nothing but class in agreeing to the change in schedule to allow proper time for New Mexico to heal and process what happened, it just goes to show that there may be foes on the field but under the pads and away from the lights of the stadium we are all human and are all hurting from what happened.
