LAS CRUCES-- For Lobos defensive back De’John Rogers, dreams do come true.

Behind five interceptions, a feat that hadn’t been accomplished since 2003, hauled in by the University of New Mexico defense, including that interception from Rogers in the second quarter that resulted in an easy touchdown to pull UNM within three, the Lobos were able to win a sloppy game over the New Mexico State University Aggies.

“I dreamed it last night, I’m not gonna lie to you,” Rogers said of the play. “I dreamed it last night, this was my first start, I was a little nervous because I didn’t really play yet this year, I was nervous but I definitely dreamed it last night.
