It’s time for New Mexico to see if it can handle the rest of the Mountain West.
The Lobos are already 1-0 in the conference after winning 38-28 at Wyoming two weeks ago. UNM heads into the rest of the Mountain West slate with a two-game winning streak, something it hasn’t done in a single season since 2012.
Even with all that on UNM’s side, history says that the Lobos (3-2) are due to fall back to reality. UNM hasn’t won two or more conference games since 2008 and the team is just 5-20 in Mountain West play since Davie became head coach in 2012.
