Football: Lobos stun Boise State, gain bowl eligibility

The Lobos celebrate moments before the end of their game against Hawaii University at University Stadium Oct. 17. The Lobos beat Boise State 31-24 this Saturday making them eligible for a bowl game and two victories away from entering the Mountain West Championships.

It’s not often that teams take group pictures after a win. However, New Mexico hasn’t had many victories like the one Saturday night in Boise, Idaho.

UNM pulled one of the biggest upsets in program history by defeating heavily favored Boise State 31-24. The victory means the Lobos are bowl-eligible for the first time since 2007.
