Do Lobos turn to Chavez if QB Wilson is out?

Could it be time for the University of New Mexico to turn to the player who began last year as the No. 5 QB and ended up leading the Lobos to two wins, while celebrating touchdowns with finger guns and pumping life into a losing program along the way?

That quarterback would be Isaiah Chavez. He’s in the conversation as an option for the Lobos (2-4, 0-2 Mountain West), who are on a four-game losing streak and might have starter Terry Wilson out with an elbow injury.

Wilson, a Kentucky transfer, went out of Saturday night’s 31-7 loss to then-No.
