This is not a typo - this isn't fake news - Rod Serling isn't going to pop up and say that we are in the Twilight Zone, New Mexico beat Maine 41 -0! I've ben a Lobo fan for 40 years and we have never shut out anybody that I can remember. This was the best overall Lobo performance that I have seen in a long time. So happy for my Lobos. The team certainly seems to be heading in the right direction.

While the defense was the story, the Lobos revamped offense was clicking all night. UNM put up six touchdowns on 12 possessions (not counting two end of half kneel-downs) and the Lobos totaled 437 yards with 267 yards on the ground and 170 through the air.
Miles Kendrick, starting his first game for UNM as a graduate transfer from Kansas, went 14-for-17 passing for those 170 yards with two touchdowns. He also added 40 yards rushing on 11 carries, and one would never know he suffered a broken leg in 2021.
After an opening quarter that saw Ronald Wilson turn in an interception on the first defensive play of the season and UNM allow just seven yards, the Lobos got themselves on the board in the second three straight drives. Sherod White, earning his first career start, earned a four-yard touchdown, breaking two tackles on the way to the end zone. Luke Wysong then finished off the next two drives, the first on a 13-yard run and the second on a 10-yard pass from Kendrick.
All the while, the Lobo defense was stymieing the Black Bears, who entered the game having won five of its last six and with a veteran offensive team. The Lobos didn’t allow a first down in the opening half and just 44 yards, 22 of which came on one play.
