Air Force Academy, Colo. – Sophomore TB Martelius Epps scored on a 1-yard plunge with 2:24 remaining to give the Lobos’ a 13-10 victory over the Air Force junior varsity today at the United States Air Force Academy.
The Lobo team was composed of about 40 players who have not played in all nine of the varsity games this season or those players who are not going to redshirt in 2005.
Facing a 3rd-and-17 situation late in the fourth quarter, New Mexico’s winning score was set up when sophomore QB Bryan Clampitt connected with redshirt freshman WR Jonathan Brooks on a 20-yard pass play and a critical first down.
The Falcons took a 3-0 lead in the first half. UNM responded when redshirt freshman TE Chris Mark caught an 18-yard scoring pass from Clampitt. The Lobos led 7-3 at the half.
Air Force regained the lead at 10-7 before the Lobos converted on their final drive.
Junior S Darvin Peterson had an interception for UNM. No official stats were kept.
