Lobo linemen own up to needing to get tougher, more physical

To state the painfully obvious, the New Mexico Lobos lost the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in a 35-3 loss at Air Force last Saturday.

Badly.

And they own it.

Bryce Santana, defensive lineman, and CJ James, offensive lineman, wear the same jersey number (51). Tuesday, they were of the same opinion about that happened at the Air Force Academy.

“They were knocking us off the ball and doing what they wanted,” said Santana, a 6-foot-3, 275-pound sophomore from Los Lunas, who made his second career start against the Falcons.

Nor did James, a 6-4, 290-pound sophomore from Springfield, Massachusetts, bat away the question.
