New Mexico Bowl final score: New Mexico's comeback bid falls short

New Mexico's first bowl goal in eight years had a bittersweet ending. After falling behind 35-17 in the third quarter, the Lobos' made a game of it by almost pulling off a miraculous comeback. Unfortunately for Lobo nation, offensive mistakes and defensive lapses hurt New Mexico at the worst moments and Arizona pulled out a 45-37 victory.

First of all, kudos to the University of Arizona for being the 2015 New Mexico Bowl Champions after defeating New Mexico 45-37 Saturday afternoon.

This was a high-scoring affair that featured a lot of offense and not a lot of great defense.
