The New Mexico Lobos controlled the line of scrimmage for most of the contest and threw a huge wrench in the Air Force attempt to secure the home field advantage for next week's conference title game with a decisive 47-35 victory.
The New Mexico Lobos outplayed the Air Force Falcons for most of the night and withstood a Falcons comeback attempt late in the third quarter for a key 47-35 victory Saturday night in Albuquerque.
For most of the first half, it was New Mexico looking like the team that was playing for home field advantage in the Mountain West Championship game, as they dominated the line of scrimmage and took advantage of every Air Force mistake.
