2020 WUERFFEL TROPHY FINALIST: Teton Saltes, University of New Mexico, senior, offensive line,...Saltes was honored over the summer as a Lobo Hero for his work on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis, working with his native Oglala Lakota tribe to distribute needed supplies to those on his home reservation, which was hit particularly hard.

He was UNM's nominee for the All State AFCA Good Works Team, which hasn't been announced. The depths of Saltes' community service could fill up a web page, and it certainly has filled up his nomination form. - New Mexico Football

Bobby Cole ran for 138 yards and three touchdowns, Nathaniel Jones added two more rushing TDs, and New Mexico beat Fresno State 49-39 on Saturday night. Freshman walk-on Isaiah Chavez made his first start and had 196 yards passing and a score as well as 95 yards rushing and a TD on 15 carries for New Mexico (2-5 Mountain West Conference). The Lobos have won back-to-back games following a 14-game losing streak. New Mexico beat Wyoming 17-16 last Saturday, which also snapped a string of 20 consecutive conference losses.

Fresno State (3-3), which had won seven straight games against New Mexico dating to 1994, used a 16-play, 70-yard drive to open the second half and make it 31-21 when quarterback Jake Haener scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown with 6:53 left in the third quarter. Conner Kinslow had 49-yard touchdown catch - his first career reception - about two minutes later, and Jones and Cole had TD runs of 10 and 35 yards, respectively, on back-to-back offensive plays before Cole scored on a 9-yard run to make it 49-31 with 2:33 to play. Haener was harassed throughout but passed for 350 yards and three TDs for the Bulldogs. - New Mexico/AP College Football

11/26/20 - Tevaka Tuioti, rSr/2022, New Mexico + More +

Trae Hall appears set to start at quarterback for the Lobos for the third straight week. Tevaka Tuioti did not practice on Monday, Gonzales said, and has not been cleared to play since sustaining a concussion late in UNM's 39-33 loss at Hawaii on Nov. 7. "I have no idea (about Tuioti's status for the game)," Gonzales said. "That's frustrating." Tuioti, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound redshirt junior, has sustained three concussions, including one in September of 2017 and another in September of 2018. - Albuquerque Journal

11/14/20 - Terry Wilson, rSr/2022, New Mexico + More +

Kentucky quarterback Terry Wilson accounted for three touchdowns, Chris Rodriguez rushed for two scores including a 74-yarder before the Wildcats withstood Vanderbilt's late rally to win 38-35 Saturday and end a two-game losing streak. Rested from a bye and with Wilson back from a one-game absence because of a wrist injury, the Wildcats (3-4, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) moved the ball at will against the Commodores (0-6, 0-6) with five TDs and a field goal on its first seven possessions. Wilson sandwiched a 32-yard score in the first half between TD passes to tight ends Justin Rigg (15 yards) and Keaton Upshaw (21). Wilson completed 13 of 15 passes for 110 yards and rushed seven times for 83. Rodriguez rushed 13 times for a career-high 149 yards with TDs of 3 and 74 yards, the last providing a 17-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. Chance Poore, playing in place of Matt Ruffolo, kicked a 28-yard field goal. - AP College Football

10/20/20 - Terry Wilson, rSr/2022, New Mexico + More +

As a runner, Wilson is one of Kentucky's best big-play threats. As a passer, he and a group of inconsistent receivers remain very much remain a work in progress. Wilson's statistics at Tennessee could have been even better if not for a touchdown pass that was dropped by sophomore tight end Keaton Upshaw and a deep pass down the sideline to senior wide receiver Josh Ali that was overturned on replay review. Even after those miscues, Wilson bounced back to lead Kentucky on an 11-play, 76-yard touchdown drive on its first possession of the third quarter. During that drive, he completed 3 of 4 passes for 31 yards, including a perfect pass to Allen Dailey for a touchdown on third-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

"We've got to help out the quarterback," Stoops said. "That (Upshaw drop) should have been a touchdown pass, but then it puts a little bit of pressure on you...Then we came right back and completed some and got some momentum going. I thought it was really important." With drops remaining a problem for the receivers and Wilson yet to show the type of touch needed to trust calling more than a few deep passes per game, UK offensive coordinator Eddie Gran rarely asks Wilson to take over games through the air. - Courier Journal

Redshirt junior Eric Cuffee, a 6-foot-1, 191-pound defensive back who started his college career at Texas, has entered the transfer portal, Gonzales confirmed. Cuffee, who saw some time as a wide receiver during the spring, suffered an Achilles injury recently and would not have played this season anyway, said Gonzales. Cuffee is the eighth player to leave the program since coach Bob Davie was let go following last season. - Albuquerque Journal

10/15/20 - Miles Kendrick, rSr/2023, New Mexico + More +

Miles Kendrick will start at quarterback for against WVU, with all indications that the junior will receive every opportunity to hold that role from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. "We gave Miles Kendrick the nod, we told him he's our guy this week," Dearmon said. "We named him a captain because of the way that he practiced last week. He's doing a great job. It's not that the other two are not doing a good job, it's just that Miles Kendrick has earned a spot this week, so we're going to go with Miles Kendrick." Senior Thomas MacVittie, out with a shoulder injury since the Jayhawks' season opener, has returned and is a "full-go" at practice. True freshman Jalon Daniels, meanwhile, appears to still be limited from an injury sustained in the team's last contest, a 47-7 defeat to Oklahoma State on Oct. 3. Dearmon said that, in his ideal world, he would "like to play one" quarterback, though he noted none of the three signal callers have locked themselves into the starting job. - Topeka Capital Journal

10/15/20 - Terry Wilson, rSr/2022, New Mexico + More +

One week after Kentucky's senior quarterback played the best game of his UK career (completing 14 of 18 passes; running for 129 yards and three touchdowns) vs. Mississippi, the Oklahoma City product came back with a lackluster showing (eight of 20 passing; 50 yards rushing) against Mississippi State. To have a shot at winning at Tennessee, Kentucky needs the better version of Wilson. - Herald Leader
