New Mexico Lobos prepare for road matchup against Nevada

The New Mexico Lobos, currently ranked No. 22 in the AP poll, are set to face the Nevada Wolf Pack this Friday in Reno. New Mexico enters the game with a 7-1 overall record and a 4-0 record in Mountain West play, sitting atop the conference standings.

The Lobos possess a highly ranked defense, leading FBS in scoring defense with 11.9 points allowed per game and ranking first nationally in success rate allowed. However, head coach Jason Eck has expressed concerns regarding the team's recent offensive performance and turnover margin, noting that the team has struggled with ball security during recent road games against Hawaii and San Jose State.

Nevada enters the contest with a 3-5 record. Coach Eck noted that while Nevada's record may not reflect it, they remain a competitive team that provided a close contest during last year's matchup.
