University of New Mexico and Colorado State appear to be two teams going in different directions, the Lobos on a four-game losing streak and the Rams trending up after starting the season 0-2.
CSU has won two of its past three, including a 32-14 win over Mountain West Conference defending champion San Jose State last week. Now, the Rams will try to continue their dominance of the Lobos on Saturday at University Stadium.
CSU has beaten UNM 10 straight times in the series and was an 11½-point favorite as of Friday afternoon.
This season, the Rams had a rough start, including a 24-21 loss to Vanderbilt on Sept.
