EL PASO – The University of New Mexico Lobos tried to take that whole “next man up” thing to the extreme against UTEP, but the Miners took advantage of a dismantled UNM offense for a 20-13 win on Saturday in front of 15,609 at the Sun Bowl.
The Miners (3-1) scored 17 unanswered points in the second half, including two touchdowns in the third quarter to pick up the win.
Six UNM players were ruled out late Thursday, but announced on Saturday, due to COVID-19 contact tracing rules.
Wide receivers Mannie Logan-Greene, Keyonta Lanier, Elijah Queen, Andrew Erickson and Zarak Scruggs Jr.
