Lobo football: UNM braces for physical Air Force run game

University of New Mexico coach Danny Gonzales said there was a change in the routine earlier this week in practice in preparation for Saturday’s Mountain West Conference opener against Air Force Academy.

The Lobos practiced in full gear to get ready for what is expected to be a physical game at University Stadium.

“There was no pouting or dismay that we were going full pads, so that’s a positive sign,” Gonzales said. “They do some things on both sides of the ball that we had to practice more aggressively.”

On offense, Air Force (3-1), 1-0) is No.
