It would have been such a Lobo way to lose.
There, sprinting down the east sideline at Albertsons Stadium, went Boise State wide receiver Austin Cottrell — close to finishing a desperation, lateral-upon-lateral play that began with just one second on the clock and the Broncos trailing New Mexico 31-24.
This is New Mexico, remember — a team that in recent years has been a lot better at coming close than actually winning.
So Cottrell scores, right? The Broncos kick the extra point and win in overtime, or maybe they go for two and win without OT.
