Football: Air Force hangs 42 on UNM; Lobo losing skid reaches five

The Air Force triple option attack ran roughshod over the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday as the Falcons cruised to a comfortable victory over the Lobos and ended UNM’s hope of bowl eligibility.

The Falcons took home a 42-24 victory, their first since a win over UNLV on Oct. 19 and racked up 623 yards of total offense, 478 of which came on the ground, the most that the Lobos have given up on the ground since they gave up 417 to Wisconsin.

“We’re not real good right now,” head coach Bob Davie said. “We had our opportunities, at least we forced some turnovers to try and make it a competitive game.
