A dominating performance by a regrouped offensive line and the inability of New Mexico to take advantage of Falcon fumbles led to a shutout victory at Falcon Stadium on Friday night, 28-0.
Backup fullback Brad Davis rolled up 177 yards and four touchdowns running through holes in the line big enough to drive a DIESEL through. Along with Matt Murla and Bo Gross, the Falcon fullbacks gained 250 yards, averaged 6.7 yards per carry, and enabled the Falcons to hold onto the ball for 36 1⁄2 minutes. The performance was marred by three fumbles on consecutive possessions in the third quarter.
