New Mexico lost to Colorado State 17-6 in a Mountain West matchup last Saturday. The Lobos had trouble getting into the endzone against the Rams—the same problem that has been haunting the Wyoming Cowboys.
Wyoming scored two field goals in the third quarter last week against Utah State when the Pokes needed touchdowns. The Cowboys lost by two points 27-25.
For the Lobos, the loss in Fort Collins, dropped New Mexico to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the Mountain West.
New Mexico Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall sized up Wyoming during this week’s news conference.
New Mexico’s 7-point output last week was a shocker after the Lobos put up 50 or more points in each of the previous three games, two of which were Mountain West matchups against Utah State and Air Force.
Wyoming has lost three straight games, by three, 10 and two points. The Cowboys have won the last two meetings with New Mexico. Wyoming leads the series all time 40-36, including a 20-15 record in Albuquerque.
Coach Mendenhall said Saturday’s matchup between the Lobos and the Cowboys will come down to a play or two.
Kickoff between Wyoming and New Mexico is set for 2:05 Saturday afternoon.
