consistent when we play really good tea

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- There is no doubt that New Mexico has changed its dynamic after a 7-6 season and a close loss to Arizona in the New Mexico Bowl last season.In his fourth season, Bob Davies reconstruction of the Lobos program bore fruit and now the team is looking to build on the strides it made a year ago.Its all hands on deck trying to win right now, he said, adding that the team definitely has its sights set on another bowl appearance. Were trying to win right now.The Lobos, Davie said, are realizing a sweeping change in all aspects of the game, both athletically and mentally.Its an overall thing in the evolution of this program, he said. Weve gotten better in all phases. Just the numbers of players we have, the way the players look. The way the players act. The culture that is good enough for us to win here.It really comes down to the mindset, Davie said.Its even more `out work, out hit, out discipline, he said of the Lobos mantra. Its even more, the (grade-point average), going to class, doing the right things. Getting every ounce out of every kid we can get in this program. Its more of that. Its not like, `OK, maybe theres a little more ability. Maybe theres a little bit more talent. Lets deviate and do a little more. Its just back to even more of just relentlessness on doing the things that can separate us from the teams we play.RUNNING GAME REDUX: Since Davie took over the program the running game has been a staple of the offense. But top back Jhurell Pressley has graduated, leaving Teryion Gipson (848 yards, six touchdowns) as the top back. Davie said he sees plenty of depth at the position, with Richard McQuarley and Daryl Chestnut both expected to see increased playing time and production.WHOS UNDER CENTER: Another of the constants under Davie has been a revolving door at quarterback, sparked by inconsistency and injury. Concussions drove Cole Gautsche from the position and he will now play as a tight end, while Lamar Jordan and Austin Apodaca will continue to see regular snaps. Jordan accounted for 807 rushing yards and nine TDs and is the presumptive starter, although both players will be utilized frequently.KEY GAMES: At Rutgers, Sept. 17; vs. Boise State, Oct. 7; at Colorado State, Nov. 19. Against Rutgers, New Mexico will get a chance to see how it stacks up against a team from a power conference. The Lobos defeated Boise State a year ago on the famed blue turf to spark a bowl run, so the Broncos will be looking for some revenge. With a win over Colorado State last season, New Mexico would have been one home win away from an appearance in the Mountain West championship game. This time around, the Rams just may stand in the way of a bowl appearance.PREDICTION: 6-6 to earn a second consecutive berth at home in the New Mexico Bowl.SEASON OPENER: South Dakota, Sept. 1. Coming off a bowl game, New Mexico looks to start the season strong by making a loud statement versus the Coyotes and their first-year coach Bob Nielson that Davies rebuilding program is ready to put away lesser teams.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Alabama might not look like the Alabama of old, but it sure has no problem getting the same results.The No. 1 Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) extended its nation-best winning streak to 18 games with a 49-30 win over No. 16 Arkansas on Saturday night, doing so with its new-look and ever-improving up-tempo offense that is averaging a robust 10.1 yards per play.Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts once again did his part to lead the potent offense, accounting for four touchdowns and 253 yards passing as Alabama won its 10th straight over the Razorbacks (4-2, 0-2).It works well for us, its when we play the best, coach Nick Saban said of the offense. Our quarterback is well-suited for it, and I think weve done a good job as a staff developing the system where its maybe a little more efficient than when we started doing it a couple years ago.While the Crimson Tides offense gained 517 yards on only 51 plays, it was the defense that once again put on its own scoring display.Linebacker Tim Williams and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick each scored defensive touchdowns for Alabama, the schools eighth and ninth non-offensive touchdowns of the season. Fitzpatricks came on a 100-yard interception return early in the fourth quarter, and it was the sophomores career-best third interception of the night.When we score a non-offensive touchdown, it kind of helps the offense and it helps boost the morale of the team, Fitzpatrick said. We get really excited and have fun out there.The defensive scores were more than enough to end any hope for Arkansas of putting an end to its long losing streak to the Crimson Tide.Austin Allen completed 25 of 48 passes for 400 yards and three touchdowns for the Razorbacks, but he also threw three interceptions while under duress from the Alabama rush. Arkansas finished with 473 yards of total offense, but it gained only 73 yards on the ground on 36 carries.Im disappointed for the fans to not get them a win today, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. I thought there was enough things out there the No. 1 team in the countryy, but we spotted them two to three touchdowns.dddddddddddd ... Its just too much to give up to the No. 1 team in the country.Damien Harris added 122 yards rushing on 13 carries for the Crimson Tide, which is now one game off Sabans best winning streak at the school. Alabama won 19 straight games over the 2009-10 seasons.THE TAKEAWAYAlabama: The three turnovers on offense werent vintage Crimson Tide, but the defensive effort -- five forced turnovers -- was. Alabama now has 55 non-offensive touchdowns in Sabans nine-plus seasons, and its already nearly matched last seasons total of 10 non-offensive touchdowns this season. Were certainly not where we want to be, not in all facets of the game, Saban said. Sometimes we play great on offense, but weve just got to be more consistent when we play really good teams.Arkansas: The Razorbacks have a mess on their hands on the offensive line. Theres no other way to put it. Arkansas began the season with three first-year starters up front, and they once again struggled in both pass protection (six sacks, numerous other hits on Allen) and running the ball -- averaging two yards per rush.POLL IMPLICATIONSNot that anyone needed more reasons to keep Alabama at the top of their ballots , but the Crimson Tide arent going anywhere after yet another convincing victory. Arkansas, meanwhile, is at the mercy of the voters after its second loss of the season -- hoping to remain ranked with No. 14 Mississippi coming to Fayetteville next week.UP NEXTAlabama: The Crimson Tide continue their most difficult four-game stretch of the season by traveling to No. 9 Tennessee, which lost to No. 8 Texas A&M on Saturday. Thats followed by a date with the undefeated Aggies and then LSU on Nov. 5.Arkansas: The Razorbacks remain at home to face the Rebels, whom they have defeated in each of the last two seasons.---This story has been corrected to show Alabama has scored nine non-offensive touchdowns this season, not 10.
