The last time the University of New Mexico played at home, the Lobos’ defense went wild, causing seven turnovers in a 27-10 win over UTEP.
An announced crowd of 15,269 showed up. Not very impressive. However, the Lobos said they felt great energy from a new student section behind the north end zone.
UNM (2-3, 0-2 Mountain West) returns home in a key MW game on Saturday against Wyoming (3-3, 1-1). The Lobos and coach Danny Gonzales want a big crowd, of course, but they are pleased with the returns of the new student section so far.
