New Mexico Seeks Record-Setting Win at Nevada

New Mexico visits Nevada on Friday with a chance to set a program record for wins across a two-season span, while also pursuing a strong conference start. The Lobos’ standout strength is defense: they allow about 12 points per game and have consistently forced takeaways, helping fuel a 7-1 start. Their offense offers balance, with tight end Cade Kieth leading the team in catches and receiving yards and two running backs each having at least 485 yards. Nevada presents a test on the road, where New Mexico has never beaten the Wolf Pack, though the Lobos hold significant statistical advantages in scoring margin, defensive yardage and turnovers.
