New Mexico’s goal for the week was clear — “don’t let New Mexico State beat us twice.” But the Lobos seemed to repeat many of the same mistakes, which contributed to another loss.
Costly turnovers on offense and allowing big plays on defense have hurt the Lobos the past two games, but a bigger issue may have affected the outcome Saturday.
Head coach Bob Davie said that although it wasn’t the reason the team lost to the Aggies last week, New Mexico needed to stick to its trademark and run the football.
He said with five minutes left in a game, New Mexico doesn’t want to become a pass team.
