Gonzales gives Kendrick, offensive line a vote of confidence

The University of New Mexico offensive line failed to protect senior quarterback Miles Kendrick through three quarters Friday night against Boise State, allowing six sacks and frequent pressure.

However, for the past two weeks, UNM coach Danny Gonzales has continued to say the 5-foot-10, 205 pound transfer from Kansas is “our starting quarterback.”

The Lobos (1-1) mustered just 48 yards of offense through three scoreless quarters in a 31-14 loss to the Broncos at University Stadium.

Gonzales, in his third year as head coach at his alma mater, said he never thought to make a switch at quarterback to spark the offense.
