Sometimes it can be tougher to win the second Rio Grande Rivalry game against New Mexico State, especially after taking the first meeting.
The challenge, UNM coach Neal said, stems from some over-analysis and second-guessing on what to do differently in game two. But Neal continued with a common refrain he’s used all season long. He just wants his team to get better.
The Lobos (6-2) have made strides in that direction, he said Monday, two days before the rivalry resumes Wednesday at WisePies Arena.
“The biggest thing is for us to go forward,” he said.
