New Mexico with a long completion. Our secondary's NOT covering the pass well at all. If they start throwing, they could get down the field fast. Let's hope we start playing closer.

The running game is going nowhere for New Mexico, at least. Another tackle for a loss.

Indeed, especially after the botched punt fake.

Fletcher on the field and tackles for a loss.

There's that missed tackle I mentioned! Great blocking down the field too!
WYO!!!

Are they going for the 2 pointer early? Nope, PAT here.

9-7 WYOMING!

Timeout. Wyoming is showing a large playbook offensively so far. There's been several plays on the last two drives that have had the potential to get in the endzone, but run and pass. If New Mexico misses a tackle here or there, they'll be in big trouble. Even though ACS' throws have been a little b...

GREAT second effort by Alexander. Keeps his legs moving and gets a lot of extra yards.

ACS' throws are definitely not on the mark so far. O'Neill just saves the ball from being picked off. ACS makes up for it by a nice pass to Bolling for another first down.

Browder got away with what probably should have been pass interference. Wyoming gets the ball back. Leonard returns the punt to the 32.

HORRIBLE coverage in the secondary by pokes who give up 20 yards to a wide open TE. They really need to start playing close to the receivers.

Cowboys have to punt.
Great hit on the punt return. Ball on the 10.

SAFETY!!!


Weston Johnson sniffs the play out and owns them defensively. GO DEFENSE!

Awesome defensive play by Weston Johnson and Gary!!

Dangit... ACS would've been able to run for a first down, or possibly even a TD on that play. On the positive side, Lobos will have to go down the full field now.

In all fairness, this is going to be incredibly difficult to come back from. You've just given a team with ZERO confidence the belief that they can win this, while you're doubting yourselves. This has turned into CU 2.0, except Lobos are going to score more points than that. I knew I was nervous ab...

New Mexico's defense looks like they have no idea what to expect at all - our run plays go for a lot of yards, though. Unfortunately, they just did a stupid holding when they didn't need it at all. Ugh.

Why? Those kinds of plays will get holes opened for the run game by spreading things out. It was a VERY smart thing to do, even though it didn't work. They're confusing the NM defense VERY well now.

DANGIT! Underthrown by Benjamin - that should have been a TD. Great play call, though.

ACS looks VERY smart, though... very good first three plays. Hopefully he'll keep his head cold (won't be difficult the way things are looking ) and will just take the yards that are there.

Either way, not having many home fans there is going to be a HUGE disadvantage. Their qb is not going to have any problem at all with getting everybody on the same page for their plays. Hopefully a LOT of Wyoming fans stayed in town overnight, but I'm not banking on it.

I completely agree... remember that one game they had to stop because of weather a year or so ago (was it against NM?), and then Wyoming came out completely flatfooted and got dominated after having spent the break in the indoor practice facility?

Reminds me of the Utah night game several years ago. Colder than hell. They closed I-80 just outside Cheyenne, but luckily we were able to turn around and take the Happy Jack road. The game started WAY late, hardly anyone there, and the Pokes lost. But it was still worthwhile watching. Was that the...
