Undefeated Lobos Eye Six-Game Win Streak at Nevada
7 Nov
Summary
- New Mexico boasts a five-game winning streak, aiming for six.
- The Lobos' defense is the joint-best nationally, allowing 11.9 points.
- Nevada has never won a home game against New Mexico.
The No. 22 New Mexico Lobos are on a roll, aiming to extend their impressive five-game winning streak to six when they face Nevada on Friday night. This Mountain West matchup is crucial for the Lobos, who currently hold a perfect 7-1 overall record and are 4-0 in conference play.
New Mexico's success is largely attributed to their formidable defense, which stands as one of the nation's best, conceding an average of just 11.9 points per game. While their offense scores consistently, it's their defensive prowess that has underpinned their winning run.
Nevada, struggling at 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the Mountain West, seeks a strong response after a significant loss last week. Historically, the Wolf Pack have never secured a victory against New Mexico in Reno, adding another layer of intrigue to this contest, especially with Nevada's potent running back Scottie Humphrey in their lineup.
