Football: Pressley comes up big in finale

Redshirt senior running back Jhurell Pressley raises his hand to cheering fans after a 75 yard scoring run at University Stadium Saturday night. Pressley scored three touchdowns with 170 yards rushed to help aid the Lobos 47-35 victory over Air Force.

Jhurell Pressley said he saw just one thing on his two early touchdown runs against Air Force Saturday night.

“Green grass,” he said. “Green grass.”

Well, technically, it’s field turf. But when Pressley rattles off two early TD runs of 50-plus yards, it’s still grass to him.

The senior running back scored UNM’s first two touchdowns on the team’s first two drives in their 47-35 victory over Air Force.
