Yes, they finally lost.
A lot of Lobos fans seem pretty bummed by the weekend loss to UTEP, but the sky is not falling. The team was a little down after the game, mainly because the players considered it a game they could have and should have won.
This team is still capable doing some impressive things during conference play and I wouldn't write them off just yet. Road games at TCU, Wyoming and Utah will be difficult tests, but I wouldn't count the Lobos out of the hunt simply because they didn't realize some people's dreams of an undefeated season.
I think this is still arguably the most confident and talent-rich team New Mexico has fielded in quite awhile.
The conference race will be intriguing and tought to navigate. New Mexico is capable of winning big or losing every weekend.
Time to panic?
No.
A little gut-wrenching for the die-hards?
Yes.
Great college football?
You bet.
