The Aggies (1-5, 0-2) carry a seven-game winning streak over the Lobos (2-4, 1-1) into Saturday’s game, a skid on par with UNM’s losing streak to Boise State; the Lobos have longer losing streaks only to Colorado State (12) and San Diego State (9). Has UNM used the seven-game skid as a point of motivation? Not quite.

On the ensuing New Mexico possession, Bronson Olevao Jr. intercepted a pass at the New Mexico 30 and returned it inside the 20. The drive kicked off with a 14-yard pass to Jalen Royals, then Spencer Petras scored on a 4-yard touchdown run to cap the two-play drive.
