The New Mexico Lobos picked up just their second bowl win since 1961 on Saturday, as they defeated the Texas San Antonio Roadrunners 23-20 in the New Mexico Bowl at University Stadium in Albuquerque.
Playing in the New Mexico Bowl for the second consecutive year, the Lobos leaned on their dominant running game, rushing for 211 yards to improve to 9-4 on the season. UTSA fell to 6-7.
New Mexico attempted only six passes, but quarterback Lamar Jordan was named the game's Most Outstanding Offensive Player with 77 passing yards and 81 rushing yards.
The Roadrunners appeared in their first bowl game Saturday since joining the FBS in 2012, but they were unable to get the job done in a true road game despite winning the total yardage battle 364-296.
