The Elite, The Meh & The Ugly - Rate Bowl

Key Highlights

• Through four quarters and one overtime period, Minnesota’s defense did not allow New Mexico to score a touchdown, limiting the Lobos to three field goals.
• They sacked quarterback Jack Layne four times, only allowed him to throw for 88 yards, and intercepted him once.
• There were no coverage busts, with New Mexico’s longest pass play of the day coming on a 16-yard completion.
• The Lobos found some success on the ground with running back Damon Bankston and change-of-pace quarterback James Laubstein, both of whom combined to average 5.7 yards per carry, though neither of them found the end zone. Maverick Baranowski.
• He opened the game with a sack on the first play of the opening drive and then spent the rest of the game playing like a man possessed, racking up a team-high 17 total tackles. Jalen Smith.
