- Game #1: Oregon 72 New Mexico 0
- Game #2: Texas Tech 52 New Mexico 17
And now we can add another line to the train wreck that is the New Mexico Lobos:
Utah 56 New Mexico 14
It's been a serious fall for the Lobos. It was just a couple years ago, during the magical season that was 2008, the Lobos fought hard and nearly beat the Utes, ultimately falling 13-10. Now...
Basically, the Lobos are Ol' Yeller in the final scenes: ready to be shot. I feel bad for the Lobo fan, this is rough:
- Combining all the points scored, the Lobos still don't have enough points to win a single game.
- Average about 60 points allowed per game, is not a nice touch.
Anyways, let's move on to the awards for the week. Admittedly, these are going to be tough, because I honestly think Utah could have won under the follow circumstances:
- Utah allows me to play Defense, Special Teams and Offense. Essentially going 10.5 on 11. Cause really, it felt like the Lobos played 7 players.
- The starters (O, D and ST) write their positions on a piece of paper, put those into a hat and choose where they will play that day. That could mean that Kruger ends up punting, Cain plays OL and Philips is the QB. Somehow, we still would have won.
Anyways...the awards:
- The "Can I try playing a harder team, cause this feels like NCAA 2011 on Freshman mode": Terrance Cain
- The "Thanks, I'll take that": Matt Martinez
- The "Blechen isn't the only fool that can hit like Andrew playing against 12 year olds": Lamar Chapman
- Mr. Consistent: Jereme Brooks
- Jersey I'd like to own: Shaky Smithson. How fun is this guy? He looks like the predator! He's stocky, fast and just awesome. He pretends to fair catch and the takes off (last week). I am rooting for this guy to make the NFL, he's fantastic!
On another note, one of my readers complained about last week's post. He said it wasn't as good as week one. Sorry for the slip (my son, the "D End" was working me like Koa Misi treats OL). No it was not Tom. This critic shall remain nameless, unless he disapproves of this week, then I'll write a post about critical readers.
As Always... GO UTES!

I can't believe anyone would find anything to complain about, given the sharp, witty commentary and the relentless dogpiling on a pitiful opponent. Who could ask for anything more.
Quit throwing my grandson under the bus. If you mess up, step up and take the fall yourself.
I have not found a single thing to complain about in this perfectly written analysis. Each week I find that the writer continues to out perform himself by pulling out a new award that perfectly describes the accomplishments on the field. I eagerly await each week's installment. Thank you.
If I were to ever receive an award for anything I might want the one given to Lamar this week.
