Zach’s Running Blog: Lobos vs. UNLV 11/14/2026

We are finally back in at University Stadium for the New Mexico Lobos (8-1, 5-0) and the visiting UNLV Rebels (5-4, 3-2) in a key game for both teams. A loss tonight ends any chance for UNLV to make the Mountain West Championship Game, and a loss would likely end any hope for the Lobos making the College Football Playoff. It should be a Sold Out game or very close to it, and it is something that could happen the next couple of possible home games to end this year. Lobos are still dealing with some injuries, but getting very close to being as full strength as possible in November. As always we will be updating this as the game goes on here, Twitter, and Bluesky. Also I’ll try my best to keep everyone up to date once the Lobo Basketball Game starts against Santa Clara.

Lobos wins the toss and will defer to the second half.

Opening kickoff goes for a touchback. UNLV will start the night at the 25. First play is a drop by the receiver. 3rd and 5 coming up for the Rebels. AGENT 0 with the breakup. And UNLV will be punting.

Punt goes into the end zone for a touchback. Toa and co. will be starting the day at the 20. Sibley with a big run play on the first play of the game for the Lobos offense. Humphrey with a nice run play for himself. After a 5 yard rush by Toa the Lobos have the ball at the 40 with a 2nd and 5 coming up. Lobos. will go for it on 4th and 1 from the 36. UNLV bust that play up and will take over at their 38.
