UTEP edges out Lobos in football season opener

Thomas Romero-Salas | September 1

In the words of head coach Bob Davie, New Mexico football’s first half against UTEP on Saturday was “wobbly.” If that’s the case, then by the end of the game it was a breakdown. The Lobos rallied from a 24-7 halftime deficit to tie the season opener at 24 in the fourth quarter, but their comeback attempt was stopped thanks to three turnovers in the last six-and-a-half minutes.

Lobo defense pulls together in second half

Liam Cary-Eaves | September 1

The New Mexico football team showed signs of defensive improvement in Saturday’s season opener, despite an early deficit. Both sides of the ball came out of the gates in sluggish form during UNM’s 31-24 loss to UTEP — but, bolstered by a strong defensive effort, UNM’s second-half play came within striking distance.

Price rejoins football team after suspension

Thomas Romero-Salas | August 19

The New Mexico football team reinstated Jamal Price after the senior guard agreed to enter into the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Pre-Prosecution Probation Program. Albuquerque police arrested Price last month after an altercation with his girlfriend Khadijah Shumpert, a UNM women’s basketball player, according to police reports.

Accused athletes return to football team

Thomas Romero-Salas | August 17

New Mexico head coach Bob Davie has reinstated running back Crusoe Gongbay and cornerback SaQwan Edwards to the football team after the District Attorney’s Office determined there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. The two returned to practice last week during training camp in Ruidoso, and are eligible to play in the Aug. 30 season opener. “It was my decision,” Davie said last week at a press conference. “Back in April, I suspended those two from the team because it was a criminal case and they were charged criminally. The reason I’m reinstating them is because I received word from both attorneys that the criminal case has been dismissed and it’s closed.”

Charges against football players dropped

Jonathan Baca | August 17

The District Attorney’s Office formally dropped charges without prejudice against two Lobo football players and one former UNM student. District Attorney Kari Brandenburg said on Wednesday that due to a lack of evidence her office was unable to indict SaQwan Edwards, Crusoe Gongbay and Ryan Ruff on kidnapping and rape charges. UNM is still following up on its own investigation, which could lead to disciplinary action including expulsion from school if it is found that the student-athletes violated the school’s code of conduct.
