LAS VEGAS, Nev. – For the fifth straight year, the University of New Mexico football team is picked by the media to finish last in the Mountain West Conference’s Mountain Division.
The Lobos’ third-year coach Danny Gonzales is OK with that prediction, he said Wednesday during the MWC football media days at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
He gave the impression that UNM, 3-9 and last in the division a year ago, will make the media look silly.
“We’re picked last right now,” Gonzales said slyly. “We’ll see what happens in November.”
Gonzales believes the Lobos’ offensive line is bigger than last year’s and the team has increased its strength with dedication to work in the weight room.
