What University of New Mexico coach Danny Gonzales told his team after a 38-10 loss to Air Force Academy, he could’ve easily said at halftime as well.
The Falcons (4-1, 1-1 Mountain West) scored on their first four possessions, playing near-perfect football to build a 24-0 lead at the half, and essentially putting away the game.
“When we play against a triple option it’s a tough man’s game,” Gonzales said after the Lobos fell to 2-3, 0-1. “I told my team in the locker room: ‘They’re tougher than we are.’ ”
Gonzales said that type of game is supposed to show what his team is made of, and UNM will show that in the future.
