Trickery, fourth-down conversions and big-time plays fueled Arizona in a highly emotional 45-37 win over UNM in the 10th annual Gildan New Mexico Bowl on Saturday night.
Having appeared in four straight bowl games at the helm of the Arizona football program, Rich Rodriguez is no stranger to what it takes to win a bowl game. The head coach said he knew New Mexico was going to try to throw some new looks and some trick plays at his squad before the opening whistle sounded.
However, lack of time on the field prevented Rodriguez throwing some of his unorthodox methods at the Lobo defense.
