On Sunday, a day after suffering his first loss of the season, a 34-0 setback at No. 7-ranked Texas A&M, University of New Mexico football coach Danny Gonzales challenged his staff and players to turn it up a notch for its game at UTEP (2-1) on Saturday.
This wasn’t like a year ago when he told the media the Lobos (2-1) were “terrible” after their fifth straight loss to start the season.
This time, it was behind closed doors. He expressed the disappointment that the defense showed up way too hesitant early on vs. A&M, and that the offense failed to score or gain any type of momentum.
