Gonzales: It’s time for Lobo offense to step up

During the past two weeks, the University of New Mexico (2-5, 0-3 Mountain West) has scored two touchdowns, one in each loss to San Diego State and Colorado State, but with zero points from the offense.

Freshman linebacker Ray Leutele delivered a strip, scoop and score for a 15-yard fumble return in a 31-7 loss to the Aztecs in Carson, California, on Oct. 9.

Last week, freshman wide receiver Luke Wysong, like Leutele, also scored his first collegiate touchdown, his coming on a 63-yard punt return in the Lobos’ 36-7 loss to CSU.

New Mexico’s offense struggled in both games, losing senior quarterback Terry Wilson to an elbow injury late against SDSU, and against CSU recorded the lowest offensive-yard total (69) in a Mountain West game.
