Game Recap
On Saturday, the New Mexico Lobos were out to avenge their 42-9 loss to the Boise State Broncos from their previous meeting in November of 2019, but they had no such luck. New Mexico was pulverized by Boise State 37 to nothing. The Lobos haven't found any success against Boise State since Nov. 14 of 2015, this defeat making it five in a row.
Boise State can attribute much of their success to WR Khalil Shakir, who caught seven passes for one TD and 116 yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Hank Bachmeier's 56-yard TD bomb to Shakir in the second quarter. Another playmaker for Boise State was DE Dylan Herberg, who returned a punt six yards to the end zone in the second quarter.
Special teams collected 13 points for the Broncos. K Jonah Dalmas delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game. This makes it three perfect games in a row for him. Tyreque Jones' 6-yard punt return for touchdown should surely be counted as one of the game's standout moments.
