Most Cowboy fans see the New Mexico game on the schedule and think; this will be the easiest game of the year. This may not have been the hardest contest on the schedule, but this was not the same old Lobos.
A new face was in at QB for the Lobos, Dylan Hopkins, and he looked as good as ever for New Mexico’s first drive.
It was a battle of two seemingly efficient offenses to start out. In the first quarter, Hopkins was 7-8 for 63, and Peasley went 7-7 for 60 and a rushing score.
The Lobos connected for a touchdown early with an impressive toss to Jeremiah Hixon, taking advantage of a slow start from the Poke defense.
