ð WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF THE LOBO COACHES SHOW.. I'M J.P. MURRIETA ALONGSIDE UNM FOOTBALL COACH ROCKY LONG.. THE LOBOS PULLED OFF ANOTHER NAILBITER 26-23 OVER COLORADO STATE ON SATURDAY THANKS TO A LAST SECOND FIELD GOAL BY JOHN SULLIVAN.. A GOOD KICKER SURE HELPS DOESN'T IT? HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THIS ONE? THE FIRST TIME YOU TOUCH THE BALL YOU DO SOME MARCHING.. THE FIRST TIME YOU TOUCH THE BALL YOU DO SOME MARCHING.. RODNEY FERGUSON FOR 14 YDS NEXT PLAY.. DONOVAN PORTERIE TO MARCUS SMITH.. Another 14 yards BACK TO THE DIRECT SNAP TO RODNEY.. HE GETS 17.. YOU GUYS CALL THIS QUITE A FEW TIMES THIS YEAR.. YOU COULD ONLY MANAGE THREE POINTS OUT OF IT ..A 34 YARDER BY JOHN SULLIVAN MAKES IT 3-NOTHING.. YOU TOLD US CSU'S KALEB HANIE THROWS WELL IF HE HAS TIME.. YOU DIDN'T GIVE HIM MUCH HERE..MICHAEL TUOHY GETS IN.. MORE DEFENSE.. THIS TIME A SLEW OF LOBOS.. A MISSED CSU FIELD GOAL GOT YOU THE BALL BACK.. AND YOU GO DOWNFIELD AGAIN.. PORTERIE TO SMITH..10 YARDS AND A FIRST DOWN .. THREE STRAIGHT PASS PLAYS TO SMITH.. THE THIRD ONE WENT FOR A TOUCHDOWN.. 10- NOTHING AT THAT POINT CSU STRIKES BACK.. HANIE TO JOHNNIE WALKER WHO GETS PAST TYSON DITMORE.. 10-7 LOBOS THIRD POSSESSION.. SAME AS THE PREVIOUS TWO.. YOU GET POINTS ON THIS DRIVE.. RODNEY WITH A NICE RUN FOR TEN YARDS NOW PORTERIE FINDS ANOTHER POPULAR TARGET TRAVIS BROWN FOR 20 YARDS PORTERIE TO BROWN AGAIN 16 YARDS FOR THE FIRST DOWN.. ANOTHER GREAT RUN BY RODNEY..FOR 12.. HOW ABOUT TIGHT END CHRIS MARK.. WHEN HE TOUCHES THE BALL.. YOU'RE LIKELY GETTING POINTS.. PORTERIE TO MARK TO MAKE IT 17-7.. YOUR DEFENSE PUTS SOME MORE PRESSURE ON HANIE .. ZACH ARNETT IS THE FIRST ONE THERE.. CSU GOT A FIELD GOAL TO MAKE IT 17-10 AND THEN THE RAMS TIED IT UP WHEN JOHNNIE WALKER GOT BEHIND DEANDRE WRIGHT..17-17.. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS FINAL DRIVE BEFORE HALF.. PORTERIE TO SMITH.. THEN ON FOURTH AND ONE ON THE 27 YOU DECIDE TO GO FOR IT.. RODNEY GETS YOU THE FIRST YOU DECIDE TO GO FOR IT.. RODNEY GETS YOU THE FIRST DOWN.. CLOCK IS RUNNING.. YOU HAVE TO CALL TIME AND BRING OUT THE FIELD GOAL UNIT ANYWAY.. A SULLIVAN FIELD GOAL MAKES IT 20-17 AT HALF .. WHY GO FOR IT ON FOURTH AND ONE INSTEAD OF JUST KICKING THE FIELD GOAL? WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN AFTER ONE HALF OF FOOTBALL? WE SAW THE DIRECT SNAP TO RODNEY FERGUSON.. YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE WITH MARCUS SMITH.. WHAT ADVANTAGE DOES IT GIVE YOU? LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE SECOND HALF.. THE SECOND HALF WAS A DEFENSIVE GAME.. LET'S START WITH THE RAMS GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH AND ONE ON THEIR FIRST POSSESSION AND YOU STOP EM.. YOU GET THE BALL BACK .. PORTERIE GOES TO TRAVIS BROWN FOR 37 YARDS.. SOME PENALTIES COST YA A LITTLE AND THEN PORTERIES THROW TO BROWN IS OFF THE MARK .. SO YOU HAVE TO SETTLE FOR A 46 YARD FIELD GOAL FROM SULLIVAN.. 23-17 UNM.. MORE DEFENSE BY THE LOBOS... SACK CALEB HANIE O-J SWIFT ONE OF THREE TO GET IN THERE .. OJ SWIFT WITH A BIG GAME.. BECAUSE LATER IN THE FOURTH..CSU DRIVING AND SWIFT AND KEVIN BAL-O- GUN GET IN THE BACKFIELD.. SO YOU HOLD CSU TO A FIELD GOAL TO MAKE IT 23-20 LOBOS.. BUT RODNEY FERGUSON WITH THE FIRST AND ONLY TURNOVER OF THE GAME.. THAT GAVE CSU GOOD FIELD POSITION.. BUT YOU HOLD EM.. BIG STOP BY IAN CLARK PULLING JOHNNY WALKER DOWN.. CSU WOULD GET A FIELD GOAL TO TIE IT AT 23.. TYLER DONALDSON RECORDS A SACK LATE IN THE FOURTH.. LAST MINUTE OF PLAY.. TIED AT 23.. THREE BIG STOPS BY YOUR D.. CSU FORCED TO PUNT AND A HUGE RETURN BY O-J SWIFT.. 18 YARDS.. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 26 .. WITH A COUPLE TICKS LEFT.. THE CAN'T MISS KID COMES IN TO KICK THE GAME WINNER.. A 43 YARDER.. LOBOS WIN ANOTHER SQUEEKER WITH COLORADO STATE 26-23.. THIS WEEKS GAME STATS A LOT BETTER THEN LAST WEEK... DONOVAN PORTERIE WAS 21-FOR-29 WITH TWO TD'S... === FOR THE SEASON RODNEY FERGUSSON GOES OVER ONE- THOUSAND YARDS...HE HAD 110- YARDS ON 20- CARRIES.. AND TRAVIS BROWN HAD 94-YARDS ON 5- CATCHES...MARCUS SMITH GRABBED 9- BALLS FOR 83-YARDS AND A SCORE...CHRIS MARK ONLY HAD ONE CATCH BUT HE MADE IT COUNT FOR A TOUCHDOWN...HEY SULLY .. HOW ABOUT THAT GAME WINNER?.. WERE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HOW THIS TEAM WOULD RESPOND AFTER THE LOSS TO TCU? YOU PLAY SUCH CLOSE GAMES WITH COLORADO STATE YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.. WHY DO THESE TWO SCHOOLS MATCHUP UP SO CLOSELY? JOHN SULLIVAN IS KICKING WELL.. BUT DOES IT CONCERN YOU YOU'RE GETTING FIELD GOALS INSTEAD OF TOUCHDOWNS? YOU'VE SAID YOUR TEAM .. LIKE MANY AT THIS TIME OF YEAR IS BANGED UP.. WHO'S FEELING IT TODAY? ANYONE EXPECT TO MISS SOME ACTION THIS WEEK?
