Rants & Raves: New Mexico Edition
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., -- This game had a little bit of everything.
Wyoming and New Mexico combined for 13 touchdowns, 1,180 yards of total offense and 53 first downs.
The Lobos, led by quarterback Devon Dampier and running back Eli Sanders, combined for 412 rushing yards and five scores. The latter broke off a 75-yard touchdown late in the first half. Dampier, a sophomore, became the first UNM signal caller to rush and throw for at least 100 yards in three games during a season.
His 85-yard sprint to the end zone with 1:10 remaining in the third is also a school record.
It was a Damper interception, though, that sparked the fourth-quarter comeback for the visitors. Wrook Brown turned that into immediate points. Wyoming's nickelback snagged that errant throw at the 29 and made a house call.
The Cowboys, finally, made the fewest mistakes.
Quarterback Kaden Anderson completed 20-of-29 throws for 342 yards and three touchdowns in his first-career start. His favorite target in Albuquerque was junior Jaylen Sargent, who hauled in six passes for 186 yards and a score. John Michael Gyllenborg and Justin Stevenson also caught scoring strikes from Anderson.
Wyoming snapped a three-game losing streak and claimed its second win of this mostly forgettable season.
