New Mexico junior running back Richard McQuarley has been consistent in the running game so far, but he got to do something for the first time earlier this season — play in front of his mother as a Lobo.
Head coach Bob Davie said the season opener was special for the running back, because his mother, Sharon McQuarley, flew in from Mississippi to make the game.
But her trip was not without incident. Head coach Bob Davie said the plane had to turn back due to engine troubles, and McQuarley’s mother ended up stranded in Houston for much of the day.
