Good afternoon/evening from Mackay Stadium in Reno, Nev., where the New Mexico Lobos and their lupine brethren, the Nevada Wolf Pack, will tee it up in about 20 minutes. The defense forced a quick 3-and-out and the Pack offense had the ball in Lobo territory to start the fourth quarter before Nias Martin’s 77-yard fumble return pulled the Lobos within 21-17.
