The Lobos will open the season against Mississippi Valley State on Saturday at University Stadium.
There is a little of a buzz in the air this September in Albuquerque as many believe that Bob Davie and the New Mexico Lobos football team can make a leap this year and go to a bowl game. The season starts as Lobo football has an opportunity to grab some of the attention away from the stronghold that Lobo basketball has on the city. If the Lobos are going to grab the fans attention it all starts Saturday and while Mississippi Valley State is not is not the best opponent I does allow the Lobos he opportunity to start the season with a win and build confidence going into the Tulsa game.
