Box Score | 2016 Season Statistics

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- It wasn't exactly "Easy Like Sunday Morning", but it sure finished on Sunday morning. Thanks to a hellacious thunder storm that knocked out power briefly at University Stadium and delayed the game at halftime nearly two hours, the University of New Mexico Lobos clinched bowl eligibility for a second straight season with a 35-26 win over the Nevada Wolf Pack, a team that soundly defeated UNM a year ago.

The win moved the Lobos to 6-3 overall and 4-1 in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West, keeping pace with Boise State for a tie for second place.
