In their season opener, the Lobos new offense put on a show against FCS opponent the University of the Incarnate Word in a 62-30 victory. Tevaka Tuioti looked the part of a starting quarterback, finishing with 327 yards, four passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.
It was the highest point total for the Lobos since a 66-0 victory of Mississippi Valley State in 2015.
In past seasons, the Lobos have been known for their relentless ground attack that saw them frequently burn five or more minutes off the game clock. Last season, the Lobos attempted a total of 242 passes against 542 rushing attempts.
