Lobo Defense, Special Teams Shine
in 14-13 Win Over Utah State
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- On a night where UNM struggled offensively, the Lobo defense and special teams came up big time and time again as the Lobos picked up their signature win in the Bob Davie era, a 14-13 heart-stopper over Utah State, pushing New Mexico to 5-4 overall and 3-2 in the Mountain West.
It's the most wins for the Lobos since going 9-4 in 2007. More importantly, New Mexico is both one win away from becoming bowl eligible, and should the Lobos win their last three games, New Mexico would be the Mountain Division champions and play in the Mountain West Championship game.
