Bowl or Bust

Cowboys set to Gamble their Mountain West Hopes in Las Vegas Photo by Rylee Lingenfelter After a three-game winning streak, the Cowboys, on fresh legs after the bye week, are set to travel down to Las Vegas on Saturday for a primetime showdown against UNLV. The game has major implications for seeding in the Mountain West Championships, with both teams sitting at 3-1 in the conference. A loss for either team would essentially remove them from contention of making the championship game. “We don’t put up a slide of the standings of the conference. We don’t need to do that,” Sawvel said in an interview with Pokes Insider. “We know there’s two teams that have one loss in the conference that are going to play Saturday night in a big game.” No. 22 New Mexico currently sits at the top of the conference, and at 7-1 overall, 4-0 in conference, they are the frontrunners for one spot in the Mountain West Championship game on Dec. 4.
