ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- Down 29-14 after a third quarter field goal, UNM stormed back scoring the final 24 points as the Lobos won the 106th installment of the Rio Grande Rivalry 38-29 over New Mexico State, UNM's fourth straight win in the series and pushing the Lobos over .500 at 3-2 for the season.
The Lobo defense came up huge in the second half, holding New Mexico State to just 62 yards and three points which came after Carlos Wiggins fumbled the opening second half kickoff. While NMSU turned that fumble into a field goal, the Aggies would pick up just 51 yards the rest of the half.
