2012 Lobo FootbaLL Media ReLease Dawn of the davie era NEW MExico MAN Coach Bob Davie was introduced as the 31st football coach at the University of New Mexico on Nov. 17, 2011. The former Notre Dame head coach and ABC/ESPN television analyst has piqued the curiosity of media nationwide with his return to the sidelines on a program that struggled in recent years but has tremendous potential for growth. “I can honestly tell you I am more excited and more comfortable than I have ever, ever been,” Davie said of the opportunity to coach the Lobos during his introductory press conference. “I think this can be a great job. I look at the state of New Mexico; I love this state. We have something unique here ... and that fires me up.” Just Like old times UNM’s 66-21 victory over Southern in the 2012 season opener was an impressive debut for Davie, but it ranks only fourth on the list of biggest margins of victory by a Lobo coach in his first game. Dudley DeGroot guided UNM to a 78-0 win over Northern Arizona during his first game in 1950. Bill Weeks’ debut in 1960 resulted in a 77-6 win over the University of Mexico. Gwinn Henry’s opening act in 1934 produced a 76-7 win over New Mexico Highlands. Davie is the third of the last four first-year New Mexico coaches (not counting interim coach George Barlow) to win his first game, joining Dennis Franchione and Rocky Long. Mike Locksley lost his first game. MEET The New Bosses, Two The Same as the old Bosses The University of New Mexico enters the season with a completely different cast of assistant coaches as well.

The designated player will lead the team onto the field with the New Mexico state flag before home games as well as before the game at New Mexico State. That player also will participate on UNM’s special teams units during that particular game. Coach Davie and his staff will select the weekly player, based on who exhibits the dedication, work ethic, team spirit and unselfishness that exemplifies Lobo football and the state of New Mexico. “Walk-ons are critical to our success here at UNM,” Davie said. “I have tremendous respect for all of them and want to have a way to recognize their importance and contributions to the program.” The Lobo ,football team will recognize that player’s hometown before each home game. david Anaya, a true freshman walk-on running back from Roswell, N.M. (Goddard High School) will serve as the New Mexico Man for the Sept. 22 rivalry game against New Mexico State. So far this season, Anaya has seven carriers for 65 yards, all coming against Southern University in the season opener. He also recorded his first career kickoff return last week against Texas Tech, going for 15 yards. Anaya already is a regular on several special teams units. Wide receiver Jeric Magnant was the New Mexico Man for the season opener against Southern on Sept. 1.
2012 Lobo FootbaLL Media ReLease Rio GRANDE RivALRY 2012 Letterman Breakdown The Rio Grande rivalry is a series between UNM and NMSU that encompasses athletic teams for both programs. It began with the 2007-08 school year. The rivalry consists of a point-based competition and is awarded to the school that accumulates the most points from the matchups between the schools in various sports each season. The victor each school year receives a rotating trophy bearing the inscription of the annual winners. Saturday’s football game is worth three points to the winning school. UNM leads the 2012-13 series 3-0, winning 1.5 points each from women’s golf and women’s soccer. rivALRY NoTES The Aggies’ 42-28 victory in Albuquerque last season was NMSU’s largest margin of victory in 44 years and was the only game during NMSU’s current three-game winning streak that didn’t come down to the final moments. The Aggies beat UNM 16-14 in 2010 on a field goal with 1:56 left in the game in Las Cruces. In 2009, the Lobos missed a 47-yard field goal as time expired to preserve a 20-17 NMSU victory at University Stadium. The Lobos won the previous six games in the series, only two of which where decided by a touchdown or less. One of the onesided UNM victories was a 53-0 shutout in the season finale of 2001 at University Stadium -- a game that was moved to the end of the year because of 9/11. The game marked UNM’s biggest margin of victory in the current millennium. NMSU came back the next year in Las Cruces to beat the Lobos 24-13. NMSU won two in a row from 1998-99 against UNM, both in dramatic endings. In 1998, the Lobos ran a kickoff return for a touchdown with 50 seconds left in the game but missed the extra point for a 27-21 lead. The Aggies drove for the go-ahead score in just 30 seconds and made good on their extra point for a 28-27 win in Las Cruces. Lobo All-American Brian Urlacher muffed a punt return in 1999 that led to NMSU’s go-ahead score in the fourth quarter in a 35-28 Aggies win at University Stadium. UNM’s biggest win in the series came in 1948, a 61-0 victory in Albuquerque. New Mexico State trumps that with a 110-3 squeaker in 1917 in Las Cruces. The University of New Mexico football team had a 2.66 grade-point average in the spring of 2012 in coach Bob Davie’s first full semester. The average was a .42 improvement from the fall of 2010.
