Location: Albuquerque, N.M.
Stadium: University Stadium Also, head over here for the fully updated bowl season calendar as it fills in, from the New Orleans Bowl through the Rose Bowl. We’ll also add picks, scores, and more to that calendar over time.The 11th edition of the New Mexico, nowadays sponsored by Gildan, is set for Dec. 17. It’ll be part of the single busiest day of this college football bowl season, with five other games happening between noon Eastern time and the late hours of the evening.The game features tie-ins from the Mountain West and Conference USA, though the actual participants haven’t always worked out that way. Last year’s game worked out to be a 45-37 offensive festival, won by Arizona against the local New Mexico Lobos. The teams combined to string together more than 1,000 yards of total offense, which is roughly what fans want to see in a middling bowl game in warm weather.You’ll have lots of viewing options on this particular Saturday, but perhaps the New Mexico Bowl can make itself worthy of being a part of your weekend. Here’s what to know about it:
New Mexico opened the season 2-3 with
losses to New Mexico State, Rutgers, and Boise State. The Lobos followed
that start by winning their next five straight games to get to seven
wins after a 24-21 victory at Utah State. New Mexico then lost to
Colorado State, but finished the season with a win over Wyoming to get
an 8-4 record.
The Lobos actually rank relatively high
in S&P+ on offense, in the 30s in both overall offense and points
per game. The unit is led by 1,000-yard rushers Teriyon Gipson and
Tyrone Owens, who have combined for 19 touchdowns on the season. Running
back Richard McQuarley leads the team in touchdowns with 16 on the
year.
Last season, New Mexico lost to Arizona
in the New Mexico Bowl, which marked head coach Bob Davie’s first bowl
game with the Lobos.
UTSA (6-6, 5-3 in Conference USA)
The Roadrunners are going bowling for the
first time in their six-year history as a college football program.
Despite going 8-4 in 2012, UTSA was unable to go bowling as a new FBS
program, but a Week 13 win over Charlotte took the six wins and bowl
eligibility this season.
At the time earlier this season, a
four-point loss to what looked like a hot Arizona State team at the
time. But the Roadrunners were unable to get the job done in what would
have been a massive boost for their season.
With an offense that enters bowl season
No. 97 in yards per game, it’s the defense that carries the Roadrunners.
UTSA’s D is No. 58 in the country and fourth in Conference USA. That
defense is anchored by Josiah Tauefa. The freshman linebacker is seventh
in C-USA in total tackles and ninth in total tackles-per-game.
The field is set for the 11th annual
Gildan New Mexico Bowl with the UTSA Roadrunners and the New Mexico
Lobos accepting invitations offered today. The game, slated for
Saturday, Dec. 17 at Noon MT/2 p.m. ET, pits the Conference USA member
against the Mountain West member, in the first FBS bowl game of the
season on ESPN and ESPN Radio.
