SATURDAY: UNM at Wyoming, 1:30 p.m., 770 AM/96.3 FM, streaming at Stadium
When University of New Mexico senior Joey Noble heard that coach Danny Gonzales described the Lobos’ matchup against Wyoming as a “street fight,” the defensive end couldn’t help but smile.
“I’m looking forward to it,” Noble said.
Noble and the defensive line will be crucial in what the Lobos (2-5, 0-3 in Mountain West) expect will be an old-school-type slug-fest against the Cowboys (4-2, 0-2) in Laramie on Saturday. With both offenses struggling, particularly at the quarterback position, the teams are wanting to lean on their run game for any hope of success.
