The home debut for University of New Mexico football coach Danny Gonzales has finally arrived.
The coronavirus pandemic delayed it a year after the Lobos played all their games outside the state of New Mexico because of the state’s public health order.
The Lobos became the first Football Bowl Subdivision team to play all of its schedule out of state last year when they spent 43 days on the road — the majority of those days at a hotel in Henderson, Nevada.
Thursday night, against 19-point underdog Houston Baptist, and after 642 days, the Lobos will play their first home game.
