New Mexico Bowl: A game years in the making for the Davie and the Lobos

Bob Davie will tell you that there is no such thing as a moral victory but for him and the University of New Mexico football team but getting to the Gildan New Mexico Bowl does count as a moral victory, but that also is an actual victory with getting to seven wins.

The Lobos will be an underdog when they step on the field Saturday against Arizona, the underdog role is a familiar one to New Mexico as they were underdogs against Utah State, Boise State and Air Force all game which they won.

The Lobos who came into the season picked to finish near the bottom of the Mountain division have already exceeded expectations, so win or lose Davie and the Lobos who have embarked on a journey that started when he was selected to be the head coach of Lobos have accomplished something few though they could do, they have become winners they have built a foundation for years to come.
