Football: Lobos flip script, using turnovers to overcome rocky start
LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Forced turnovers and a stout rushing attack willed the University of New Mexico Lobos to its first win over the New Mexico State Aggies since 2015, as the Lobos defeated NMSU 42-25 in Las Cruces on Saturday evening.
New Mexico (2-1) was also able to get its rushing attack going on offense, with junior running back Ahmari Davis rushing for three touchdowns and redshirt senior running back Tyrone Owens going for 110 yards and a touchdown.
The Lobos were the recipient of five interceptions against the Aggies, one of which was a pick-six. It was the most interceptions forced by a UNM defense since 2003 and a nice way to overcome a horrendous start.
