Albuquerque — New Mexicos 2003 football schedule has been released and for only the fourth time in school history, the Lobos will play a seven-game home schedule. UNM has three non-conference games and four league contests at University Stadium. The Mountain West Conference announced the leagues 2003 composite schedule today.
New Mexico last played seven home games in 1995. They also hosted eight in 1938 and seven in 1946. Like last year, institutions are allowed to play 12 regular-season games in 2003.
The Lobos open their 104th season at home on Aug. 30, against Southwest Texas State. The NCAA Div. I-AA Bobcats were 4-7 last year.
The Texas Tech series continues in Lubbock on Sept. 6. The Red Raiders were 9-5 last year, including a 55-15 victory over Clemson in the Mazda Tangerine Bowl.
UNM opens league play on Sept. 13 when BYU comes to Albuquerque. Another challenging road trip follows as the Lobos journey to Washington State on Sept. 20. The Cougars were 10-3 overall last year and 7-1 in the Pac-10, tying Southern California for the conference title. Washington State qualified for a BCS game, losing to Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl. It will be the first meeting between UNM and WSU.
The 94th confrontation between New Mexico and New Mexico State is in Albuquerque on Sept. 27 followed by a home game against Utah State on Oct. 4.
After an open week on Oct. 11, conference play resumes with consecutive road games at San Diego State (Oct. 18) and Utah (Oct. 25).
UNM then plays three straight MWC contests at University Stadium. The Lobos host UNLV on Nov. 1, then entertain defending league champion Colorado State on Friday, Nov. 7. That game will be televised nationally. The home season ends on Nov. 15 against Air Force while the regular-season finale is Nov. 22 at Wyoming.
UNM returns 54 lettermen – including 20 starters – from last years team that finished 7-7 overall and 5-2 in the MWC. The Lobos, 4-1 in their last five regular-season games a year ago, finished second in the league and played UCLA in the SEGA Sports Las Vegas Bowl. It was New Mexicos second bowl appearance since 1961.
The Lobos were 5-1 at home in 2002, their first five-win at University Stadium since 1997. UNM is 8-2 in its last 10 home games overall and 12-4 since the middle of the 2000 season.
Its a very ambitious schedule again, said head coach Rocky Long, the 2002 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year who begins his sixth season at UNM. Weve worked hard the past few years to upgrade our schedule. Its a challenging stretch in September with BYU sandwiched around road games at Texas Tech and Washington State. If we can get off to a good start, then having three straight conference games in November could give us a chance to play for the conference title at home.
The Lobos open spring practice on Tuesday, March 25. The annual Cherry-Silver Game is April 19 at 2 p.m. at University Stadium.
