Marcus Smith returned CSU's kickoff from the endzone to the 21-yard line. UNM began its drive with 5:40 left in the third quarter.

Rodney Ferguson ran on the first play of the drive up the middle for two yards. Donovan Porterie was in the pocket for a few seconds, avoided one hit and then was sacked for a loss of three yards. It brought up third-and-11 at the UNM 20. Porterie had more time and hit Marcus Smith for a 15-yard gain and first down at the UNM 35. The ball was a little low, but Smith came back to it and scooped it up before sliding down.

Porterie looked for Matt Quillen on a screen pass to the left side, but overthrew him. Porterie passed to Jason Caprioli for a gain of eight yards. Caprioli also had to come back for the ball, diving for it. It brought up third-and-two at the 42. There was a fumble on the snap and CSU recovered at UNM's 40-yard line.
