The University of New Mexico football team needed a miracle at Boise State, but instead the Lobos got a nightmare in the form of two Broncos blocked punts returned for touchdowns and more UNM injuries on Saturday night.
The Lobos had the compelling, made-for-movie type story in backup quarterback Bryson Carroll, who had been a student manager this season, but BSU finished with a 37-0 victory in front of an announced crowd of 28,452.
UNM (3-8, 1-6) has struggled on offense this season, especially after injuries to senior quarterback Terry Wilson (elbow), Mannie Logan-Greene (chest) and Trae Hall (ankle).
