Cowboy football fans need not be reminded of the power of New Mexico’s offense.
Last year’s matchup in Albuquerque featured one of the poorest defensive showings in Wyoming football history and resulted in a 35-56 loss. New Mexico showcased their rushing strength in a game that saw three Lobos run for triple digits and 690 total team offensive yards.
The win helped pave their way to a win in the New Mexico Bowl against the University of Texas at San Antonio.
“It was an abysmal defensive performance,” Head Coach, Craig Bohl said.
However, Wyoming’s defense has experienced significant improvement since last season.
