Senior wide receiver Carlos Wiggins (24) is brought down down by Arizona's defense at University Stadium Saturday afternoon. The Lobos lost to the Wild Cats 45-37 in the 10th Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
New Mexico had enough effort and resilience to mount a comeback against Arizona.
However, the Lobos rally attempt fell short because of too many big plays, costly penalties and turnovers that came at inopportune times. The result was a 45-37 loss to the Wildcats in the 10th annual Gildan New Mexico Bowl on Saturday at University Stadium.
Head coach Bob Davie said despite the loss, it was key for UNM (7-6) to be back in the postseason.
