The No. 19 Washington State Cougars are gearing up to take on the New Mexico Lobos in a Saturday night showdown, marking the start of a two-game road stretch for the team. With an impressive 8-1 record, the Cougs are enjoying their best start since 2018, coming off a 49-28 win against Utah State last week. The Lobos, on the other hand, secured a 21-16 victory over San Diego State in their last game. The big question on everyone’s mind is whether the Cougars can maintain their four-game win streak on the road.
Kickoff for the Cougs vs. Lobos game is scheduled for Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. MST at University Stadium in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fans can catch the action on Fox Sports 1, as well as on streaming platforms like Fubo and YouTube TV. Listeners can tune in to the Washington Sports Network, Sirius/XM channel 85, or the Varsity Network App for a live radio broadcast of the game.
Quarterback John Mateer has been a standout player for WSU this season, recently earning a semifinalist spot for the Davey O’Brien Award. The Cougs are currently bowl eligible and ranked 18th by the CFB Selection Committee, with hopes of potentially making a push for the College Football Playoff. Their last meeting with New Mexico was in 2004, where they emerged victorious with a 21-17 win. However, their last game in Albuquerque at the 2013 New Mexico Bowl ended in a 48-45 loss to Colorado State.
