College Football: Run game key to Lobo offense

When spring football begins for the University of New Mexico on Tuesday, the Lobos will begin working to improve an offense that finished 130th and dead-last in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

The foundation of the UNM offense is expected to be a running game that has been in great transition since the Lobos’ 3-9 season ended in November.

New Mexico will be without its two leading rushers — Aaron Dumas and Bobby Cole — after both went into the transfer portal and left the team. That means for the third straight season, UNM will have a new top running back.
