One of the pressing questions heading into the University of New Mexico’s football game against visiting Wyoming on Saturday: How will the Lobos respond after losing to UNLV last week?
Much progress has been seen in Year 3 of coach Danny Gonzales’ rebuild at his alma mater, but last week could be labeled as a huge setback. New Mexico lost 31-20 in a game the Lobos led 17-0 into the second quarter.
“If your offense can give you 17 points, you should never lose,” said UNM sophomore linebacker Cody Moon, who delivered a much-talked-about hit that was called for a penalty for being out of bounds.
