It takes more than one big win to change a team’s perception.
Even after a big upset of Utah State last weekend, New Mexico is considered a heavy underdog at Boise State on Saturday. The Broncos are a 30-point favorites over the Lobos in Boise, Idaho.
The implications of this game are huge for both teams. A win for UNM will give it bowl eligibility for the first time since 2007 and the team will be two wins away from a berth in the Mountain West Championship game. If the Broncos (7-2, 4-1 Mountain West) come out on top they’ll be in great position to return to the conference title matchup.
