The Lobos (3-5, 2-2) return home after spending the last couple of weeks on the road (a win at USU, and a loss at CSU), to face the Wyoming Cowboys (1-7, 1-3). The Lobos are still fighting for a Bowl Game in year 1 of the Bronco Mendenhall Era, and a win today against Wyoming will go a long way in making that possible. The Lobos will look to finish drives after struggling in big plays against CSU, as they only scored 6 points in the loss to the Rams. Dampier and Co. look to get the offense going early and often against this Wyoming defense. I will be updating this during the game so tag along for the ride today.

Zach’s Reacts: Lobos vs. Montana State
Saturday Afternoon was full of emotions around the Lobo Football Program, it was a new beginning with the official start of Coach Bronco Mendenhall’s Era, the first game of the season, and the first heartbreak of the season. The Lobos entered the game as 13.5-point underdogs against a Top 5 FCS Program in Montana State, and they gave the Bobcats all they could handle, leading at one point by 17. The Bobcats scored the game-winning touchdown with 10 seconds remaining to give them the 35-31 win in both teams’ opening game. While it wasn’t the best outcome for the Lobos to lose the opener (Captain Obvious), many things looked good during the first game, things that they can work on, and other observations from the game on Saturday. Here are some of the things that stood out from the game on Saturday.
Zach’s Running Blog: Lobos vs. Montana State
We are about 20 minutes away from the start of the Bronco Mendenhall Era of Lobo Football. The Lobos (0-0) will kick off their 2024 Season during Week 0 against the most talented FCS program they have faced in Top 5 Montana State. The Lobos will look to make a statement as they enter the game as 13.5-point underdogs. I will be updating this during the game, with thoughts and observations that come up.
A look at UNM Lobos Football Schedule 2024
The University of New Mexico is entering a new era of Lobo Football as Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall takes over after Danny Gonzales led the Lobos for the last 4 years. The Lobos are coming off a 4-8 season that saw the Lobos win 2 conference games, a road win against UMass, and a home win against FCS Tennessee Tech. Things will be different this year with the schedule for the Lobos, as we see a change in the Conference Schedule, three bye weeks, and the improvement of the FCS opponent. This season the Lobos will also only play 5 home games this year instead of the traditional 6 or 7 home games (we will dive into why this probably happened with this schedule later). Look at the schedule, quirks, and other odds and ends.

Lobos vs. AFA: Football Running Blog
We are back with our coverage for the Lobos (2-2) Mountain West Opener against AFA (3-1). The Lobos are looking to end their two-game losing streak and get their offense rolling again after a couple of rough outings the last few weeks. Looking back at last season’s meeting, AFA won 28-0, in the game the Lobos were able to force four AFA fumbles (recovering three) but were unable to cash in (missed four Field Goals). The Lobos haven’t beat AFA since 2017, in the game, Richard McQuarley rushed 11 times for 179 yards and five Touchdowns.
