Injury won't keep Lobos from win

Lee Cornell | September 20

Tomorrow the Lobos travel to Las Cruces to take on in-state rival New Mexico State University for the 93rd time. People are wondering if UNM will be as dominating as it was in last year's match up when the Lobos kicked the stuffing out of a depleted NMSU squad 53-0. It was the first shutout for UNM since 1984 and the second best beating of the Aggies, surpassed only by a 61-0 Lobo slaughter in 1948.
