The Lobos returned the ball to their 20. Donovan Porterie's first pass was complete to Marcus Smith on the right side for a 20-yard gain but there was flag on the play. UNM was called for a personal foul and the gain was erased. Porterie's next pass intended for Smith up the right side of the field was overthrown and fell incomplete. It brought up second-and-10 at the UNM 25. Porterie's next pass intended for Travis Brown on the left side was high. It brought up third-and-10 for the Lobos. There was a flag on the next play. UNM moved back again after being called for false start. It brought up third-and-15 at the Lobos' 20. Rodney Ferguson ran for no gain on the next play.

Colorado State called timeout to stop the clock with 36 seconds left in the half.

Jordan Scott's punt went out of bounds at the 38 with 29 seconds left in the half. Herbert Felder sacked Caleb Hanie for a loss of nine yards on the first play of the drive. CSU called timeout to stop the clock at 14 seconds. DeAndre Wright patted away Hanie's next pass intended for Dustin Obsorn. It brought up third-and-19 with eight seconds left. Hanie ran for eight yards as the clock ran out in the second quarter. UNM called a timeout just before time ran out to make CSU punt. Hanie ran the ball on fourth down for a 12-yard gain and a meaningless first down as time ran out in the half.

The curse of the second quarter struck again for the Lobos and the momentum they picked up the first quarter was erased. The good news is they only go into halftime tied at 10 instead of down 14 points. We'll see how they pick up in the second half.
