University of New Mexico coach Danny Gonzales says he has no emotional connection to San Diego State, the Lobos’ opponent on Saturday, and where he worked with Rocky Long for seven seasons.
But there is definitely a connection.
When Gonzales sees the No. 25 Aztecs (4-0) in Carson, Calif., he’ll see what he wants the Lobos (2-3, 0-1 Mountain West) to become.
“The image of what our program will look like is a lot of that,” said Gonzales, the Lobos’ second-year coach. “When you watch them on tape, it’s the aggressive attitude and how hard they play.
