COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The University of New Mexico got a nice payday with $1.1 million for playing at Texas A&M ($200,000 paid in June 2015 when the game was set, $900,000 for this fiscal year) on Saturday.
But the Lobos failed to hit paydirt on the field, where the No. 7-ranked Aggies shut out UNM 34-0 for New Mexico’s first loss of the season.
There were few positives to gather, but coach Danny Gonzales continues to believe in his young players, as they are among the reasons they’ll eventually win a Mountain West Conference championship and contend each season, he said.
