microscope. He said this is an inter-disciplinary approach to a complex problem.

“That’s what systems biology is about, is bringing people to do these two things together,” he said. “We generally have a hypothesis they can’t test, so we can test the feasibility of these things by using modeling and mathematical formu-lations. So together, we can try to move forward.”

In a press release, Center for Sys-tems Biology Director Janet Oliver said the center’s diverse team will bring together many disciplines to solve complex problems related to health.

“Together, we expect to develop the new tools needed to understand the dynamic biochemical and spa-tial events that control the behav-ior of immune and cancer cells,” she said.

Wilson said the center will also study allergic reactions.

“We focus on fundamental re-ceptor biology,” she said. “And one of our favorite model systems is in fact

a massed cell, which is responsible for allergic reactions in people.”

Wilson said that by focusing on the fundamental inner workings of a cell, the center’s researchers will gain knowledge that applies across medical fields.

In addition, researchers will try to develop new technology for fu-ture experiments, Wilson said.

“One contribution of the Sandia National Laboratory group to the center will be to design and build very small devices that are called ‘microfluidic devices,’” she said. “When used in combination with a high-resolution microscope, they will allow us to measure cellular events in a really fast and accurate way.”

Wilson said Albuquerque’s loca-tion in the heart of New Mexico near the two laboratories, along with the presence of the state’s largest university, will be beneficial to the center.

“I think it’s an honor and a privi-lege to conduct research of this qual-ity here in Albuquerque,” she said.

“We had (the UNM community) interact by putting pushpins of where they were from,” she said. “We also had people trace their hands and put their name inside of it and where they were from.”

Another “public park” on Las Lo-mas Road promoted reading, offering passersby a seat and a book.

One group set up a miniature home in their parking space, offer-ing people the chance to sit and enjoy chips, salsa and candy.

Student Candace Montoya said this group took its inspiration from the Lobo Reading Experience book

“Antonio’s Gun and Delfino’s Dream” by Sam Quinones.

“Delfino didn’t have a home, so that’s why we decided to provide the community with a home … to pro-vide the community with comfort,” she said.

Munns said the community re-sponded positively to Park(ing) Day and he will try to make it an annual event on campus.

“We’ve had a lot of people stop by,” he said. “Some of the groups had sign-up sheets for their event, and I saw some that were three or four pag-es thick.”

Editor,Student and faculty glue-sni� ers and

paint-hu� ers have just as many rights as the smokers.

Now, personally, I’m neither sni� er nor hu� er, but I support their God-given right to pursue their addiction, no matter what the consequences.

We here at UNM care a lot about the in-alienable rights of the few to make as many people as sick as possible. I know, I know: What about the complainers with their lit-tle precancerous coughs and interminable headaches — those who have to pass by the hu� ers? All this moaning and whining about health has nothing to do with the constitu-tional right of the few to kill the many.

If smokers have their own places, hu� ers and sni� ers should have a place as well, and there is nowhere more suitable for glue-sni� -ing and paint-hu� ng than the “Center of the Universe” sculpture over by Ortega Hall.

If you happen to run into a sni� er or hu� er practicing his or her addiction on Smith Plaza, you can politely say, “Excuse me, good sir, but UNM is a non-hu� ng campus. If you want to sni� or hu� , you will have to take your paint can to the ‘Center of the Universe,’ which is a designated hu� ng area. � ank you for your kind concern.”

I have approached several hu� ers and sni� ers with my mild request, just as I have been urged to do by the Campus Hu� ng Committee, and I’ve had my teeth busted out of my head only a few times.

I’ve complained to campus police but they just say, “It’s not in our jurisdiction.”

I’ve complained to the information desk in the SUB, and they say, “Take it to the police.”

It’s enough to drive a poor fellow to sni� glue or stick one’s head in a can of paint out of desperation.

Most people think college campuses across the U.S. are generally safe.

Although relatively minor cases of theft or assault are common across campuses, it is not every day that we hear about atrocious crimes in universities. Tragedies like the shootings that happened at Virginia Tech in 2007 are statistical outliers.

� at is why I was shocked, saddened and repulsed when I heard about the most recent instance of campus crime at Yale University.

Annie Le, a graduate student studying pharmacology who went missing Sept. 8, was last seen entering a lab building. Her body was found six days later, the day she was to be mar-ried, shoved inside a wall of that building.

From what the news stories have reported so far, campus security could not have done much to prevent the incident, since they could not have predicted the crime. Le had never � led any complaints.

According to the New York Times, Chief James Lewis of the New Haven police said in-vestigators “had taken about 150 items from the crime scene with potential DNA evi-dence they could compare … (and) had in-terviewed 150 people and watched 700 hours of surveillance video from cameras in and around the building where the body of Ms. Le

was found.”I couldn’t help but wonder: Wouldn’t the

search for the person who murdered this woman be over by now if there had been cam-eras inside the building?

But this reminded me of being in high school again, where metal detectors wel-comed you every morning and hundreds of cameras followed you around like you were on a reality TV show.

It seems that the sense of adulthood and trustworthiness that we gain when we start our college careers would somehow be in jeopardy if we were to be treated like we were treated when we were 15 years old.

But maybe it’s necessary after all.Are we willing to be treated like children

for the sake of security?We are already followed by cameras al-

most everywhere else we go. Streets, schools, government buildings and businesses like banks, restaurants and movie theaters record us constantly.

What di� erence would it make if college campuses started using the same methods to achieve safety?

Campus crime seems to be more of an is-sue than most think it is. Just in the last month, a woman was shot and killed on the Univer-sity of California, Irvine campus, a Tennessee State University research worker was stabbed multiple times and beaten to death, and three

people were shot at Florida A&M University after a football game.

Although each of these incidents is prob-ably isolated and rare for the speci� c campus-es, acts like these seem to be far too common when aggregated.

� e U.S. Department of Education pub-lished new proposed regulations Wednesday morning that would overhaul the methods used at universities for reporting and dealing with crimes on campus.

Although standardizing reporting and in-vestigating procedures would be a step toward clearing the way for a more e� cient and safe process, is this really going to stop crime? Will it make it easier to catch the perpetrators?

Although upping campus surveillance doesn’t seem like it should really o� end any-one, considering that we are videotaped al-most everywhere else, I’m not sure that kind of change would garner a lot of support.

But if brutal and inhumane acts continue to occur on college campuses around the coun-try, I’m afraid that law enforcement agencies, the community and the students will have no other option but to accept that another part of their lives will be captured on camera for the safety of their peers.

Adelin Grema is a columnist for � e Rebel Yell, serving the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Las Vegas.

Increase in surveillance could reduce campus violence at a cost

COLUMN

THIS WEEK’S POLL:Police have called the killing at Yale University “a case of workplace violence.” Do you feel safe at your job?

Yes. Higher-ups at my place of work quickly handle problems that arise between co-workers.

Yes. No one at my work would resort to violence against a co-worker.

No. My manager or boss doesn’t put any time or e� ort into defusing con� icts.

No. My co-workers have short tempers, and I have to take steps to protect myself.

One of the main things is to have the student who wins the contest convey what they learned and what they saw in Ke-nya to the rest of the world, whether that be through writing, blogs, pic-tures or videos. I think that the prima-ry goal of the whole contest is to raise awareness. I think 20,000 people have already voted and there are probably 20,000 more people who didn’t know about the toll malaria can have in the first place. That’s my primary goal and the goal of the other nine final-ists — just to raise awareness about this terrible disease and hopefully learn something in the process about how our fight against malaria can be enhanced.

DL: What was it like to experience malaria firsthand, and what kinds of symptoms did you experience during that time?

AF: I actually had it lucky. I’m not sure if getting malaria is lucky, but both my parents are physicians, so they definitely helped me out in

getting the right kind of medication before I even left. Throughout my time in Ghana, I stuck to that regimen of taking one pill a day to prevent ma-laria and used mosquito repellent all the time. I still ended up contracting malaria towards the end of my stay, so that shows you just how danger-ous it can be. You can take all the nec-essary precautions and still end up with a disease. I just remember the last few nights I was there — I’d spend the whole night shivering and started aching. … I’m not going to say that if I hadn’t contracted malaria, I wouldn’t care about malaria, but it definitely put a whole new spin on my perspec-tive. I work in a research lab, so what I often do is try to put myself in the perspective of people suffering from these diseases. At the end of the day, until you actually have a disease, lose a loved one, or know a loved one af-fected by some disease, then it’s hard to understand how terrible of a toll such problems can have on personal and family lifestyles.

DL: What would you tell people who say, “Malaria doesn’t affect us here so I don’t really care about it”?

AF: I think we tend to hear that a whole lot more than anyone would like. That goes back to the well-being of other nations in this increasingly global society. One nation can defi-nitely impact what’s going on in ours and other nations. For instance, the Western world has pumped in tens of trillions of dollars over the last 50 years in trying to solve health dispari-ties, but if you take a look around the world right now, you still see families that don’t have access to $5 mosquito nets. You see children and mothers dying from the complications of child-birth. You see people who are going blind or dying just because they lack access to medications that cost pen-nies on the dollar. It’s our duty, where we are in this day and age, technolo-gy-wise. I guess it’s also a conscience thing. We can and we definitely do need to change this. It’s everyone’s responsibility to make these kinds of changes, and it’s terrible to think that a million children will be dying be-cause they don’t have access to these drugs.

Tot’s photos reveal child’s-eye viewby Michael Johnson

The associated press

TULAROSA, N.M. — Kaleb Kusmak is your average 3-year-old boy who likes normal toddler activities.

He plays with toys, attends pre-school and works with his mother and father in their pistachio or-chard, as well as a community gar-den near their home in Tularosa.

Oh, and he likes to take pho-tographs — and he shows much skill. The boy earned two third-place ribbons for a pair of entries in last month’s Otero County Fair

photography contest.“He has an abstract eye,”

said Kaleb’s father, Adam Kus-mak. “He’s got a real talent for photography.”

Said his mother, Danielle: “He’s better than us because he does ev-erything on a smaller scale than we do. We think broad and big, at least I do, when I take pictures. I look for special items, whereas Kaleb takes a picture of the top of a fence post and it makes him happy.”

Kaleb’s two third-place winners were taken at a playground in High Rolls.

One is a close-up of a piece of

playground equipment. The other shows a basketball hoop from a 3-year-old’s perspective against a partly cloudy sky.

So what prompted Kaleb to en-ter his photos in the fair contest?

“I asked him, when we were at the playground in High Rolls, ‘Do you want to enter these photos in the fair like momma does?’ He said yes,” Adam recalled.

Kaleb worked with a relative-ly simple and inexpensive point-and-shoot digital camera. He start-ed using it after his parents bought a new camera, but Kaleb also owns a Fisher-Price toy camera.

The UNM men’s soccer team capped a good weekend with a con-vincing 3-0 win over Gonzaga Uni-versity on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex.

The Lobos improved to 4-2 overall for the season.

“It was an all-around great perfor-mance,” said head coach Jeremy Fish-bein. “It will really help us, because we have four tough games coming up.”

The Lobos started the scoring early on, in the 19th minute, after freshman Patrick Pacheco hammered home a perfectly placed left-footed shot. This was his first career goal as a starter for the Lobos.

“Fishbein told me to run at players if they are backing up,” Pacheco said. “I just did a step over and saw the goalie

out of position and shot it.”The Lobos back line was rarely test-

ed in the first half, and the Lobos domi-nated much of the second half as well.

Lobo forward Michael Green, as-sisted by a pinpoint pass from Michael Reed, scored in the third minute of the second half from 20 yards out. It was Green’s first goal of the season to go along with three assists so far this

year.“Reed just played a perfect ball over

the top and left me with just having to finish it,” Green said.

The Lobos deposited their last goal in the 52nd minute. Some good pass-ing down the left wing allowed defend-er James Urbany to tap it in.

“We were focused and well pre-pared for this game,” Fishbein said. “It was good getting some of the young guys some minutes, too.”

UNM outshot the Bulldogs 22-10. Gonzaga only pressured the goal in the final minutes, but Lobo goal-keeper Justin Holmes came up with two big saves.

The Lobos have won three games in a row, including Friday’s come-from-behind win over UC Davis 2-1. Up until the 56th minute, the Lobos trailed, before Stephen Brown tied the game at 1-1. Simon Ejdemyr then won the game with a penalty kick in the 72nd minute.

The Lobos’ schedule gets even harder when UNM travels to take on No. 7 University of California, Berke-ley on Friday, before matching up with Stanford on Sunday.

California is the fifth nationally ranked team the Lobos will face this season.

“We are going to be really fo-cused over these next few games, and we are going to play some more tough nationally ranked teams,” Fishbein said.

by Bernie WilsonThe Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Ray Lewis took a chance, and what a chance it was.

The star linebacker shot the gap and met Darren Sproles head-on on fourth-and-two in the closing sec-onds, with brute strength winning out over speed and shiftiness.

A game that seemingly was go-ing to be decided by Philip Rivers instead was sealed by Lewis, whose big play saved a 31-26 win for the Baltimore Ravens over the San Di-ego Chargers on Sunday.

“That was probably one of the greatest plays of my career, because of my team, because of what we did as a team,” said Lewis, a former Su-per Bowl MVP, 10-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

The Chargers needed a touch-down to win and had the ball on Baltimore’s 15 with 33 seconds left. Lewis came in unblocked and slammed the little running back to the ground for a 5-yard loss, and the Ravens (2-0) ran out the clock.

The Chargers ran the play earlier but Lewis missed making the tack-le. Knowing the consequences of letting the Chargers convert, Lewis said he needed to shoot the gap — and find the ball carrier.

“When the game was on the line, as soon as Philip dropped down, I shot and he was there. He was there, man,” Lewis said.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said the Chargers know how to win games at the end. “I guess Ray Lew-is knows a little more, he knows a little better,” Harbaugh said. “He made the greatest football play I’ve ever seen.”

Rivers almost single-handed-ly kept the short-handed Char-gers (1-1) in the game, throwing for a career-high 436 yards and two touchdowns. But he also had two interceptions, and San Diego had to settle for field goals four times when it had the ball at the Ravens 10 or closer.

Rivers said the Chargers ran the play they felt gave them the best chance for a first down.

“You can’t keep throwing it, throwing it and throwing it — well, you can,” Rivers said. “It was a play that we didn’t execute. It’s tough to end that way.”

Rivers tied Hall of Famer Dan Fouts for third-most passing yards in a game.

A week after amassing a fran-chise-record 501 yards in a win against Kansas City, the Ra-vens couldn’t quite put away the Chargers. San Diego was missing

running back LaDainian Tomlin-son, center Nick Hardwick and right guard Louis Vasquez due to inju-ries, and on Saturday put defensive tackle Jamal Williams on injured re-serve, meaning his season is over.

Baltimore’s Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes and Willis Mc-Gahee ran for two more.

The killers for the Chargers were their inability to score touchdowns and a bad decision by Rivers.

The Chargers got to the Ravens 5, 2 and 1 in the first half, and had to settle for field goals by Kaeding each time.

Trailing 21-13, the Chargers got to the 1-yard line on a 24-yard pass from Rivers to Vincent Jackson. The play was upheld by replay, and the Chargers were called for delay of game. Rivers threw two incomple-tions, and coach Norv Turner’s de-cision to kick on third down with 10 seconds left drew plenty of boos.

Kaeding made the 23-yarder to pull to 21-16. He also had kicks of 29 and 22 yards.

It happened again midway through the fourth quarter, after Flacco was hit by Shawne Merri-man and intercepted by Antoine Cason. The Chargers moved to the Ravens 10, bogged down — in-cluding another delay penalty — and got a 25-yard field goal from

Kaeding to make it 28-26.“They pressure down there so

you’re trying to sort things out of how to block,” Rivers said. They brought as many as they could bring on some of them. I think it was more a lack of execution than anything and those delays that killed us.”

Baltimore’s Steve Hauschka kicked a 33-yarder with 2:54 left.

In the third quarter, Rivers was under pressure from Lewis at the Chargers 34, was turned sideways and blindly tried to throw the ball away. Safety Dawan Landry inter-cepted and pitched it to Ed Reed for a short return to the 22. Four plays later, Flacco threw a 9-yard TD pass to tight end Todd Heap for a 28-16 lead.

Rivers came back and found Jackson behind double coverage for a 35-yard touchdown pass on third-and-18 to pull the Chargers to 28-22 with 2:26 left in the third quarter.

The Ravens forgot to cover Spro-les on San Diego’s second posses-sion of the game and he turned a swing pass from Rivers into an 81-yard touchdown for a 7-0 lead. Sproles raced down the right side-line before cutting inside and beat-ing Reed to the end zone. Sproles had 278 all-purpose yards.

first quarter, the Lobos made sure that by the time the fourth quarter rolled around, University Stadium resem-bled the city morgue.

Comparing UNM’s offense to a “flickering pilot light” during the week, Locksley added that every time it seems the Lobos are about to ignite, a wind blows in and extinguishes the fire. In other words, the first-year coach is looking for some arsonists, and instead he’s got an offensive ros-ter full of Smokey Bear’s cousins.

There’s an overwhelming body of evidence — I stopped charting the Lobos’ miscues after 25 — all point-ing to the same problem: the players.

With 10:53 in the first quarter, Vic-tor James dropped the ball on a slant route for a would-be first down, bring-ing up third-and-nine. The Lobos, 2-of-12 on third down, couldn’t con-vert, leading to a 53-yard field-goal attempt by James Aho, which was blocked by Ben Garland. The Falcons took over and drove 63 yards before Jonathan Warzeka capped the march with a 9-yard run, making it 7-0 Air Force.

For the past two games, UNM’s running backs looked like Geos try-ing to drive in muddy terrain. All they could do was spin their tires. Just as Demond Dennis appeared to turn things around on the ground for UNM, he coughed the ball up on a 14-yard dash on the Lobos’ ensuing drive. The Falcons cashed in with a field goal, 10-0. It’s the third time this season that Dennis the Menace has fumbled.

As if that wasn’t enough, af-ter two years without tossing a

touchdown pass — the equivalent of seven games factoring out those games he missed because of injury — quarterback Donovan Porterie fi-nally threw one to the other team, air-mailing a gift to Air Force’s Jon Davis, who jaunted down the sidelines for a 49-yard interception return, which gave the Falcons a 17-0 advantage.

Locksley said of Porterie’s inter-ception: “That was a bad, bad deci-sion by Donovan.”

That’s being nice. Davis, the thiev-ing pickpocket, stood 2 yards behind the Lobos’ receiver, baiting Porte-rie to throw. When he did, it was pick six.

Even when things clicked for the Lobos, something ghastly lurked around the shadowy corner. In Thanksgiving-come-early for UNM, the Lobo offense ended a 15-quar-ter scoring drought, compliments of a 43-yard touchdown run by James Wright — a reason to throw a pa-rade among the UNM faithful. But fans didn’t even have time to cheer. On the very next play, punter Adam Miller gave away a point after bob-bling the point-after snap, making it 24-6 Air Force.

And that was just some of the egregious, can’t-miss mistakes. UNM also whiffed on tackles and had sev-en penalties called against them for 66 yards.

“Again on offense, the same things reared their ugly head — the pen-alties, the drops, the interceptions, the fumbles, all the things that we’ve talked about (in) the last two weeks,” Locksley said.

Problem is, the coaches have

made the necessary adjustments. But if players don’t execute, what can Locksley do — strap on some gear and run on the field?

Legendary NFL coach Bill Par-cells once said, “If you are going to cook the meal, you should at least be allowed to buy the groceries.”

Point being: Right now, the Lobo cupboard is bare. Locksley opened the fridge looking for fresh-ly-squeezed, name-brand Juice Wil-liams, and instead he’s got the gener-ic brand.

To put it in the words of lineback-er Carmen Messina: “It’s hard to keep our heads up. But that’s what we have to do.”

Saying the Lobos have no confi-dence in themselves might not be en-tirely accurate. But saying that their psyche is as fragile as a snow globe seems justified.

Locksley said that every time there are flurries, UNM appears to panic.

“That’s probably a natural re-action of a young team — a team that isn’t weathered or hasn’t been through these battles — to look up at the score and (not) continue to play hard,” he said. “How do we get through it as coaches? We’ve got to continue to coach them up. I thought our coaches did a good job with the young guys. A guy like Demond hav-ing a fumble — it’s easy for him to get down on himself.”

In a down year, a “miracle work-er” keeps his team upbeat. In that re-gard, Locksley has succeeded. As far as turning the program around, that’s still a work in progress. UNM is one of only nine 0-3 teams in Division I football.

But remember, even Jesus Christ, the most heralded miracle worker in history, needed five loaves of bread and two fish before he could feed 5,000 hungry followers.

What Lobo fans are asking Lock-sley to do is like asking Emeril La-gasse to make steak out of Spam.

getting knocked down by two Falcon defenders.

“Anytime you score touchdowns with (three minutes) left, you know guys are still playing hard,” Locksley said.

A lot had to go right — or wrong — for Wright to get in position to make those two touchdown runs.

Wright entered Saturday’s game as the third-string running back, but because of starting tailback Demond Dennis’ misfortune of an injury, Wright got the nod on Saturday.

Wright filled in for Dennis, who had 53 yards but fumbled early in the game.

“All three of the backs ran well, but we can’t turn the ball over,” Locksley said. “When we do, like any other position, if we’ve got com-petition, we’ll make some changes there.”

As a redshirt freshman last year, Wright compiled 348 yards and two touchdowns. But in Locksley’s

no-huddle, spread system, Wright hadn’t seemed to fit the bill of a three-dimensional, every-down back.

Admittedly, Wright said he need-ed to improve his practice habits and pass-catching ability. Wright had a 13-yard reception on Satur-day, in addition to his long runs.

Locksley said Wright didn’t get discouraged even while riding the pine.

“Take a guy like James Wright who was third team on the depth chart,” Locksley said. “He could have sulked, put his head down and gave up. But the last two weeks I’ve seen James work. James was rewarded with some opportunities … He took advantage of his opportunities.”

And after Saturday’s perfor-mance, he has at least put his name into the running-back conversation.

“I should probably get more play-ing time,” Wright said. “But as far as starting and doing things like that,

the ball off to Clark and fullback Jared Tew, who combined for 151 yards on 37 carries.

Dietz completed two of four passes for 40 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown strike to Fogler in the third quarter that put the Fal-cons up 37-6.

While Dietz filled in well for Jef-ferson, Holbrook couldn’t get the job done.

Early in the second quarter, Holbrook’s pass was intercepted by Davis, who returned it to the Lobo 45, setting up another touch-down drive for the Falcons, which made it 24-0.

On special teams, the Lobos al-lowed Reggie Rembert to return two kicks for a total of 90 yards, in-cluding a 60-yard return to open the third quarter. That led to an-other field goal for Air Force, push-ing it to 27-6.

“I was a little disappointed (with the special teams),” Locksley said. “But one thing you have to take note of: We have a lot of de-

fensive starters on all of our cov-erage teams. And our defensive starters are playing about 85 plays a game.”

The Lobos were the Falcons’ best friends, too.

Turnovers and a multitude of miscues by UNM gave USAFA an average starting field position on the UNM 45-yard line. The Lobo defense was on its heels all day.

The Falcon offense had three third-quarter possessions inside UNM’s 35-yard line, but the Lobo defense held USAFA to field goals on two of those drives.

Defensive lineman Kendall Briscoe said fatigue is taking a toll on the defense’s energy level.

“I am not trying to look (tired),” Briscoe said. “Sometimes (de-fensive linemen) coach (Rubin) Carter tries to pull me out, but I am kind of stubborn, and I don’t want to come out. So, I do get a lit-tle winded, but I am pretty tough. I suck up the wind and I stay in.”

Lobo quarterback Donovan Porterie is wrestled to the ground by an Air Force defender in UNM’s 37-13 loss on Saturday at University Stadium. The Lobos lost by double digits for the third consecutive week.

Executionneeds to come fromplayers

by Isaac AviluceaDaily Lobo

Jamie Foxx told us to “Blame It on the Alcohol.” Mike Locksley told us to “blame it on Locks.”

Sorry, coach, but on the con-tinuum of culpability, you’re about as guilty for the UNM team getting shish-kebabbed 37-13 by Air Force football as Denzel Washington was in that movie, “� e Hurricane.”

Can’t say the same about the players. Trust me, Johnnie Cochran would have a hard time defending these guys, because if the glove � ts, you must convict.

For the third time this season, the New Mexico Grave Diggers took a spade and dug themselves anoth-er hole. Down 17-0 by the end of the

Air Force dominates inspite of injured starters

Wright’s performance only highlight of game

by Mario TrujilloDaily Lobo

If a positive can be taken away from the Lobo football team’s 37-13 loss to Air Force on Saturday, it is James Wright’s running game.

By the second quarter, with the Lobos down 17-0, the coaching staff began digging through their back pockets for a player to bring something — anything — to the offense.

Backup quarterback B.R. Hol-brook seemed the likely choice when he replaced Donovan Porte-rie, but he ended up getting picked off twice.

Finally, UNM found its ace in the hole.

Running back James Wright, who made only a single reception for six yards during last week’s game against Tulsa, broke free for 43- and 84-yard touchdowns.

“I saw a little life out of the team, and what we are going to do is build on that little bit of life I’ve seen out of our team,” said head coach Mike Locksley.

In all, Wright ran the ball only five times, but he compiled a game-high 126 yards, more than

any tailback for the Lobos.That comes out to 25.2 yards

per carry, breaking a school record in that category. Compare that to the 1.6 yards per carry the Lobos averaged in the first two games this season. It was also the Lobos’ first 100-plus-yard rushing game so far.

Wright credited the offensive line with creating gaping holes, but he also gave himself a little credit.

“Scoring two touchdowns — we now know that we can do it,” he said. “We can trust the O-line up front and run the ball and build off that and do other things.”

His first dash came with 3:29 left in the first half. With the Lobos trailing 24-0, Wright found a hole on a handoff and barreled 43 yards for a touchdown.

His second and longest touch-down run came at the tail end of the game, with the Lobos trailing 37-6.

With three minutes left in the game, the Falcons leading 37-6, and the dwindling crowd expecting another three-and-out, Wright broke through the line and pumped 84 yards to the end zone, nearly

by Ryan TomariDaily Lobo

Three games into the 2009 football season, it seems defense is about the only thing the Lobos have going for them.

UNM lost its Mountain West Conference opener to Air Force 37-13 on Saturday at University

Stadium.With a lit-

tle more than three min-utes left in the

half, UNM’s offense scored its first touchdown after 15 scoreless quarters.

In a drive that took only 20 sec-onds, running back James Wright ran 43 yards to the end zone. Wright added an 84-yard touch-down run in the fourth quarter, the fourth-longest run in school history.

But other than that, on spe-cial teams and offense, the Lobos looked a notch below subpar.

With 49 seconds left in the first quarter, Air Force cornerback Jon Davis intercepted quarterback Donovan Porterie and bolted up the left side of the field. Even a pounding hit by Lobo center Erik

Cook couldn’t stop Davis from scoring. That gave the Falcons a 17-0 heading into the second quarter. Locksley pulled Porterie for B.R. Holbrook before the end of the first quarter, but Holbrook didn’t fare much better, throw-ing two interceptions and getting sacked four times.

“We thought getting B.R. in the game early would give us a chance,” said head coach Mike Locksley.

Not a chance.Even though the Falcons lost

starting quarterback Tim Jeffer-son early in the first quarter be-cause of an injury, they managed just fine without him. Jefferson sprained his right ankle with 4:19 to go in the first quarter after com-pleting a 19-yard pass to wide re-ceiver Jonathan Warzeka. Backup quarterback Connor Dietz then replaced Jefferson.

Paced by the legs of Asher Clark (20 carries for 90 yards) and the hands of Kevin Fogler (two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown), the Falcons handed the Lobos their third-straight double-digit loss.

All Dietz had to do was hand
