Just for kicks, I say the UNM defense has to make a big play again. It worked on the last drive.

Colorado State's Damon Morton returned the kickoff to the CSU 19-yard line.

Nnamdi Ohaeri ran for a loss of one yard on the first play of the drive. Hanie's next pass was complete for no gain. It brought up third-and-11 at the 18. Hanie found Dustin Osborn across the middle and he gained 22 yards on the play. It gave CSU a first down at its 40.

Hanie's next pass was incomplete. His pass was complete to Luke Roberts for a gain of eight yards. It brought up third-and-two at the CSU 48. Hanie hit Osborn again across the middle for a gain of 29 yards on the play. These passes have been comparable to the gains UNM got against Utah. I'm not sure what safety Tyson Ditmore was doing on coverage, but it hasn't been very good.

Hanie's next pass intended for Luke Roberts was incomplete, bringing up second-and-10. Hanie's next pass was complete to Osborn for a gain of six yards. It brought up another big third-and-four at the UNM 17. Tyler Donaldson sacked Hanie for a loss of eight yards and put it on the left hash mark of the 25-yard line.

CSU kicker Jason Smith stepped up for a 42-yard field goal attempt. He missed, giving the Lobos a huge edge and the ball on the UNM 25.
