At Mountain West media day, New Mexico head coach Bob Davie discussed a popular picture floating around.
New Mexico football surprised a lot of people last year when they finished the season 7-6 (5-3 in the MWC). They were actually challenging for first place into late November, no small feat for a team that won 4 games the previous year.
Without a doubt, one of the Lobos' proudest moments was their 31-24 victory over Boise State in Boise on November 14th. With that victory, UNM became just one of three teams to win on the famed smurf turf since the 2006 season (the Broncos were 59-2 going into the game dating back to 2006).
