Three Lobo football players used the words humble, blessed and exciting to describe the 2016 season—add perseverance to that list.
New Mexico (9-4) capped the football season with a ninth win in the 2016 Gildan New Mexico Bowl, narrowly defeating Texas-San Antonio (6-7), 23-20.
UTSA played a very disciplined game, filling the gaps on defense to force the run game outside and then showing good tackling ability.
It forced Lobo junior Quarterback Lamar Jordan to make difficult decisions for much of the game regarding whether or not to make the pitch in the triple option.
“It wasn’t our best offensive performance,” head coach Bob Davie said.
