2003 Week 13

LARAMIE, Wyoming - Even though New Mexico gained only 44 more yards of total ofense than Wyoming, the game was never really close, and New Mexico came away with a convincing 42 - 22 win Saturday.

To be fair, the Wyoming offense had to deal with losing both Casey and Corey Bramlet to injury during the game, leaving only third string quarterback J.J. Raterink under center, but that does not explain why the defense gave up 42 points. What does explain it, however, is turnovers. There were four in all, an interception by each of the Bramlet brothers, and a couple fumbles by the running backs.

"Ugly game," Joe Glenn spat. "We have a hard enough time keeping other teams from beating us, we certainly can't afford to be beating ourselves," Glenn said in reference to the four turnovers by Wyoming in the game.

"This team is beat up physically, and beat down emotionally. We're pretty much ready for this season to be over, ready to rest up and prepare for next fall. Unfortunately we still have a game to play, and honestly, I'm not sure I can get these guys up one more time. This is one we'd be happy to simulate so we could get into the offseason and get recruiting."
