New Mexico Bowl final score: Arizona hangs on, beats Lobos 45-37

When the Arizona Wildcats got out to a 42-24 lead midway through the third quarter, it felt like the New Mexico Bowl was well in hand.

But the New Mexico Lobos were having none of that, scoring on their next drive, then recovering an onside kick, and scoring another touchdown three minutes later to make it 42-37.

A Casey Skowron missed field goal gave the Lobos the ball back with a chance to take the lead, but two crucial defensive plays, including a sack by one Scooby Wright III, put the finishing touches on the game, giving Arizona the 45-37 victory:

Scooby had an enormous performance in his first game in nearly three months.
