Footlball: Tuioti and company lead UNM to a victory in season opener

The University of New Mexico football team, with its newly revamped offense, proved to be too much for University of the Incarnate Word Cardinals on Saturday evening, defeating them 62-30 at Dreamstyle Stadium in its season opener.

Despite the score, though, the Lobos gave up 566 yards in total offense to UIW -- something head coach Bob Davie said his team has to fix soon. “We can’t win with the kind of performance we had on defense,” he said.

“We got to take this personal, we got to bounce back, we got to watch the tape. And we need to clean all this out and move forward because I know we can play better (defensively).
