The Lobos took a knee in the endzone and started the next drive at their 20.

Donovan Porterie's pass was intended to Travis Brown, but it was thrown into heavy traffic on the right sideline and fell incomplete after Brown tipped it. Rodney Ferguson ran up the middle on the next play for a gain of three yards. It brought up a quick third-and-seven at the UNM 23. The Lobos fumbled on the snap, but Porterie recovered the ball for a loss of two yards.

New Mexico quickly punted. Damon Morten returned it to the UNM 45, but there was a flag on the play. Colorado State was called for an illegal block to the back and was bounced back to its 30-yard line to start the drive.

Caleb Hanie's pass was complete to Dustin Osborn for no gain. Hanie scrambled out of pressure on the right side of the field and ran the opposite direction across the field for a gain of nine yards. It was the Rams' longest rush from scrimmage today. Nnamdi Ohaeri ran for two yards on the next play and a first down at the CSU 41.

Hanie threw the ball out of bounds to the right side on the next play. He didn't have a ton of pressure, so I'm not sure if that was intentional or the ball just caught extra air. Hanie danced in the shotgun pocket and was sacked for a loss of four yards. It brought up third-and-14 at the CSU 37. Hanie dropped back and completed a pass to Damon Morton in triple coverage. It slipped through George Carter's hands and was quite a reception. The Rams moved all the way to the UNM 37 on the play.

Morton took a direct snap on the next play and gained three yards. It brought up second-and-seven at the UNM 32. DeAndre Wright broke up Hanie's long pass attempt near the endzone, but it looked like he could have picked it off if he had not chosen to bat it down. It brought up third-and-seven at the UNM 32. Hanie's next pass was intended for Luke Roberts, but it was broken up by Glover Quin. It brought up fourth-and-seven at the 32.

CSU's Jason Smith completed a 49-yard field goal, a career long. It tied the game at 10 with 1:36 left in the second quarter.
