For the 12th straight game, the New Mexico Lobos were on the losing end of a contest. Dropping this one to the Nevada Wolf Pack, 27-20, in Las Vegas in what was a home game for the Lobos.
This one might have stung a little more than the loss last week to Hawai’i, a game in which the Lobos had a 20-7 lead. In Saturday’s tilt, UNM owned a 10-0 first half lead, and led at halftime by a 13-10 score. Once again, though, the Lobos allowed big plays in the passing game in the second half as they saw their lead slip away.
