UNM opened the drive on its 20-yard line.

Paul Baker rushed for nine yards on the first play, a speedy carrier who seemed to surprise the Spartans. Rodney Ferguson ran on the next play up the middle for 35 yards. Baker carried again for nine more yards. Yimin Bauman carried for two yards and a first down.

Donovan Porterie's screen pass to Paul Baker was incomplete, which was probably for the best because Baker was surrounded by Spartans. Ferguson carried again for two yards, bringing up third-and-eight at the UNM 23.

The Lobos called a timeout to set up for the next big play. I think they need to get a field goal out of this possession. Porterie's pass intended for John Mulchrone sailed high, setting up a Kenny Byrd punt. He nailed the 40-yarder, giving UNM its first points of the day.
