Football: Lobos kick off season by hosting Abilene Christian

The New Mexico football team enter the 2017 campaign sporting the best two-year winning stretch in program history, and look to continue their winning ways at home.

New Mexico will open up the season against Abilene Christian at the newly-dubbed Dreamstyle Stadium in the first ever meeting between the teams.

The Lobos are 11-3 over the past 14 home games, so the first step in getting fans in the seats—winning—has already been accomplished.

Over the past two season, UNM also earned two bowl appearances, both in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, winning the second time around over UTSA to cap off last season.
