SPORTS SPEAK UP!
LOOKED TO ME like Trae Hall performed admirably in replacing the injured Tevaka Tuioti. He ran efficiently, his handoffs were crisp, as were his passes, which for the most part were on target. Glaring deficiency (is) our receivers, dropping 3 very catchable passes that would have gone for big gains. I believe Hall proved himself to earn starting job against Utah State next week. Good news for the Lobo football program is that the season is almost over.

JaQuan Lyle, Zane Martin and JJ Caldwell bring the experience and toughness we lacked last season.

YOU NEED TO FIRE your sports guy that wastes so much paper space on the Dallas Cowboys and send him back to Texas where his team plays. The Dallas Cowboys are not our team and never will be. Let the Cowboy (fans) get a Dallas paper if they want to learn about them, but reserve our paper for the Denver Broncos who have always been supported by our state.
