Coming off a successful seven-win season, capped by an appearance in the 2002 Las Vegas Bowl, 23 seniors will lead the Lobos this fall in their quest for the Mountain West Conference title. Winning has become tradition at University Stadium, where UNM has posted an 8-2 record over the past two years, including a 5-1 mark last fall.
The 2003 season will feature a tremedous seven-game home schedule, beginning with Southwest Texas State on Aug. 30. Dubbed “Operations Sellout”, the season-opener will be followed by a fireworks extravaganza. The first conference game of the year will be Sept. 13 against BYU when Americas fire, police, military and rescue will be honored. The Lobos will be out for revenge when intrastate rival New Mexico State visits Albuquerque on Sept. 27, followed by Utah State on Oct. 4 for Homecoming. The season concludes with a pivotal three-game homestand against MWC foes UNLV (Nov. 1), Colorado State (Nov. 7) and Air Force (Nov. 15). New Mexico is 6-2 in November over the past two years with both narrow losses coming against nationally-ranked CSU. This year the Lobos will be looking for redemption when they face the Rams in front of a national television audience on ESPN.
