Lightning brought a lengthy delay and eliminated homecoming festivities, but Lobo football welcomed home its vaunted rushing attack Saturday evening.
Officials called for a stoppage after the first quarter due to lightning in the area of Dreamstyle Stadium, which led to a 61-minute delay before play resumed. To get things back on track, halftime lasted just five minutes.
New Mexico head coach Bob Davie said it felt like halftime after the first quarter and acknowledged that Air Force did a good job making adjustments following the lightning delay. But Davie said he was also proud of his team’s ability to stay the course with no real halftime to implement changes to the game plan.
