As is customary for University of New Mexico football two games into the season, the crooked numbers will tell the tale going forward.

Following Friday’s 31-14 loss to Boise State at University Stadium, the Lobos are 1-1 after their first two games for the eighth time in the past 11 years.
More often than not, that first victory came against a team from a lower classification — followed by a lopsided loss to a demonstrably better opponent.
