When quarterback Terry Wilson transferred to the University of New Mexico from Kentucky, his decision was credited to the fact that he wanted to go to a place to showcase his passing skills.
Well, that philosophy could be much different after the Lobos’ 14-3 win at Wyoming on Saturday.
UNM might become a run-first, ball-control-type team and might even be triple-option based after breaking out of an offensive slump with redshirt freshman quarterback Isaiah Chavez directing the offense to help New Mexico end a five-game skid and grab its first Mountain West win.
Even if the Lobos don’t dive all in for the triple-option, they’ll be better served to lean on their run game to contend in their final four games of the regular season after their bye next week.
