Wyoming will head on to play in the Mountain West Championship game, but New Mexico looked like the best team in the conference in a 56-35 thumping of the Cowboys Saturday night.
Last week New Mexico was dominated by Colorado State 39-31. But at University Stadium, it was a complete role reversal as the Lobos rebounded to stifle the best team in the conference.
The win by New Mexico (8-4, 6-2 MW) earned the Lobos a share of the Mountain Division crown for the first time since 1997, joining Wyoming (8-4, 6-2 MW) and Boise State (10-2, 6-2 MW) as co-champs.
