University of New Mexico coach Danny Gonzales will turn to “fearless” freshman CJ Montes if senior quarterback Terry Wilson is sidelined with a left elbow injury and unable to try to help the Lobos break a 10-game losing streak in the series against Colorado State on Saturday.
Wilson, who did not practice on Tuesday, sustained a dislocated elbow on his non-throwing arm during the fourth quarter of UNM’s 31-7 loss to then-No. 25-ranked San Diego State on Saturday.
Gonzales said at his Tuesday press conference that he anticipates Wilson to practice in some capacity on Wednesday, and the Lobos’ second-year coach expects the Kentucky transfer to be a game-day decision.
