Live scores, highlights and updates from the New Mexico vs. Wyoming football game
Game Recap
After flying high against the UNLV Rebels last week, the Wyoming Cowboys came back down to earth. It could have gone either way late during winning time for Wyoming or the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday, but it was New Mexico snatching the 17-16 win. What made the loss an especially bitter pill for the Cowboys to swallow was that they had been favored by 16 points coming into the matchup.
RB Bobby Cole was the offensive standout of the contest for New Mexico, picking up 131 yards on the ground on 22 carries in addition to snatching one receiving TD.
Despite the defeat, Wyoming got a solid performance out of RB Trey Smith, who rushed for one TD and 154 yards on 24 carries. That touchdown -- a 58-yard rush in the second quarter -- was one of the highlights of the game.
Wyoming's defeat pushed them down to 2-3. Finally capturing their first victory of the season, the Lobos advanced to 1-5.
The Cowboys will square off against the Boise State Broncos at 6 p.m. ET next Saturday at Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium. New Mexico will play host again and welcome the Fresno State Bulldogs to Sam Boyd Stadium, where kick-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET next Saturday. Unlike New Mexico, Fresno State will be stumbling in off of a defeat.
