On Tuesday morning, before the University of New Mexico football team began practice to prepare for No. 7-ranked (2-0) Texas A&M, quarterback Terry Wilson posted photos on Instagram of himself from a career-best performance on Saturday along with the message: “Put the city on my back!”
The Kentucky transfer has quickly established himself as a leader of the 2-0 Lobos and isn’t shying away from being the go-to guy for advice about playing at a big-time college football venue like A&M’s Kyle Field (capacity 102,733).
Wilson, who threw for a career-high 381 yards in a 34-25 win over rival New Mexico State and was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week, went 17-8 as a starter with the Wildcats.
