Former Wisconsin Badgers offensive coordinator Phil Longo has seen his Sam Houston Bearkats struggle on the field. The team entered Thursday’s game against New Mexico State with a 0-4 record and was ranked No. 1 in ESPN's Bottom 10 ranking last Wednesday. That's not a list you want to be first in.
However, the Bearkats were 1.5-point favorites on the road in Las Cruces. Surely, Longo was due for his first win this season to quiet the doubters, right?
