Football: Lobos rally for 38-29 win

It didn’t look promising for New Mexico at the start of the second half.

The Lobos were trailing in-state rival New Mexico State 26-14, and wide receiver Carlos Wiggins fumbled the opening kickoff, giving the Aggies prime field position.

However, UNM rallied and dominated the second half against NMSU, outscoring the Aggies 24-3 for a 38-29 victory at University Stadium, the team’s fourth-straight win in the Rio Grande Rivalry.
