Sophomore running back Richard McQuarley runs into the end zone at University Stadium Saturday night. The Lobos beat Air Force 47-35 in their last season game.
New Mexico secured its first winning season in nearly a decade on Saturday at University Stadium.
Several big plays and three key turnovers propelled UNM to a 47-35 upset over Mountain Division champion Air Force. The Lobos finish the regular season 7-5 (5-3 Mountain West) and will play in their first bowl game since 2007.
“It feels real good. You come to college to have a winning season and to win games and to go to bowl games,” senior running back Jhurell Pressley said.
