🔼  Take Me Home. Lobo football season starts in 37 days, but the home opener is in 44 days! The Lobos will kick off against Tennessee Tech to open things up at University Stadium on September 9. The two teams have never met on the gridiron, Tennessee Tech has only played Mountain West teams three times since 1978. The Golden Eagles are members of the Ohio Valley Conference in the FCS and they went 4-7 overall last season. Kickoff is at 6:00pm MT and will air on the Mountain West Network.

🐺 ONE BIG THING

The Lobo football team is the only team in the country with five High School Gatorade Players of the Year on the roster! Even better? They’re all from New Mexico. Running back Dorian Lewis, quarterback Isaiah Chavez, wide receiver Luke Wysong, running back Zach Vigil, and wide receiver Evan Wysong all won the awards from 2018-2022.
