Lobos at least know the recipe for scoring big football upsets

University of New Mexico coach Danny Gonzales knows what it takes for his team to pull off an upset.

The second-year coach guided the Lobos to two straight wins to end last season after beginning the year 0-5. This year, UNM pulled off a stunner at Wyoming, which was a 20-point favorite.

But Boise State (6-4, 4-2 in Mountain West) is a 27½-point favorite on Saturday when it plays host to UNM (3-7, 1-5).

Gonzales said the Lobos must play the same way as in the 14-3 win over Wyoming – avoid turnovers and move the ball on offense.
