Comeback Falls Just Short at Gildan New Mexico Bowl

Lobo Comeback Falls Just Short in Gildan New Mexico Bowl

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- It was nearly one of the greatest comebacks in school history. Nearly. In the end, the Lobos whittled an 18-point second half deficit down to five, and then with a chance to go for the tie threw an interception as the Arizona Wildcats defeated New Mexico 45-37 in a highly entertaining 10th Annual Gildan New Mexico Bowl in front of a crowd of 30,289.

Both teams combined for 1,025 yards of offense, with UNM gaining 333 on the ground and 189 in the air.
