Running up a school record 522 yards on the ground, the Lobos crushed the Miners 56-7 Saturday night in a Western Athletic Conference grid encounter. Dobbs had announced on Thursday that if his team could not defeat New Mexico he would resign.

Hudspeth was head coach at Brigham Young prior to resigning at the end of last season in a dispute with that school. NEW MEXICO'S previous school rushing record was 518 yards against Utah in 1970. Second-string quarterback Eddie Dunaway took over for injured Bruce Boone, starting the game and playing almost three quarters in leading the relentless Lobo attack. Freshman quarterback Troy Williams took over for Dunaway in the final two minutes of the third period and led UNM to its final two scores.

Williams had only worked with the varsity this past week. Second unit fullback Bob Barber scored three of New Mexico's touchdowns or runs of 30, 1 and 2 yards. Starting fullback Rick Diller had TD runs of 34 and 50 yards. Dunaway got the first UNM score on a five-yard run, Carlos McCall got another on a 21-yard scamper and Williams got another from the 1. DILLER HAD 117 rushing yards in nine carries while Fred Henry picked up 90 in 12 totes, though sitting out most of the second half.

Barber picked up 80 yards in 15 attempts, Dunaway 62 in seven, freshman halfback Ben Turner 45 in 10, halfback Toby Parrish 44 in six, McCall 60 in eight and Williams 24 in six as the Miners offered little resistance. New Mexico drove 60 yards in nine plays with the opening kickoff. A 17-yard run by Henry on the first play from Scrimmage, a 12 yard Dunaway pass to Ken Smith and a 10-yard burst to the 5 set up Dunaway's sneak for the score. The Lobos went ahead 14-0 in the first period on Barber's 30-yard TD romp and the conversion of Keith McDonald, who had a perfect 8-for8 evening. MEANWHILE, New Mexico was holding UTEP to 30 total yards in the first 15 minutes as Miner quarterback Gary Keithley could complete but one pass during that span.

Keithley ended up hitting but 10 of 25 of his throws for 130 yards. Entering the game he 7 I ft 0k2?

UTEP went to a rushing game in the second quarter and picked up good yardage, getting Into field goal range from the Lobo 25 but missing. A Miner drive midway through period No. 2 was stalled when Greg Taylor fumbled away a pass play that had accounted for 36 years and Lobo Pat Rogers recovered at the UNM 12. Dunaway marched the Lobos 88 yards in 13 plays with Barber going over from the 1 for a 21-0 halftime lead.

New Mexico had the ball in UTEP territory almost the entire third period after kicking off to the Miners. On UTEP's first scrimmage play of the second half, a Keithley pass was blocked at the line of scrimmage by defensive end Greg Simon and middle linebacker Greg Jones Intercepted it at the 22 before it touched ground. UNM could only move to the 15 and a 32 yard field goal try by McDonald was off the mark. But on the Miners' next play from scrimmage Keithley fumbled and Steve Bradshaw recovered at the 21. McCall scampered around right end to cover that distance.

On the next series, UTEP was forced to punt from its 13 and Keithley's kick only got to the 38. Two plays later Diller broke on his 34 yard scoring burst. UTEP HAD THE ball for only two plays the next time with Fred Ratzlaff Intercepting a Keithley pass at midfteld and bringing it back to the 44. The Lobos drove that distance with Barber crashing in for the final two yards. Williams then replaced Dunaway at quarterback and drove the Lobos 63 yards in 16 plays, going over from the 1 himself.

The Miners then mounted a drive against UNM's second unit defense but fumbled it away at the Lobo 32. A half dozen plays after that Diller broke on a 50-yard jaunt for UNM's final scoring of the night. Texas-El Paso averted a shutout on the last play of the game whn its freshman quarterback Mark Jackson of Carlsbad went over from two yards away after marching the Miners from their 11. Coach Rudy Feldman New Mexico Coach Rudy Feldman said after the game that Dunaway would start for the Lobos again next Saturday against Utah in Salt Lake City. Feldman played every player he brought on the trip with the exception of the injured Boone.

Only 10,250 fans showed for Dobbs' last hurrah, and most of those had left before the fourth period started. The victory evened New Mexico's record at 3-3 and made it 2-1 in WAC plav. The Miners are now 1-5 and have lost all three of their league contests.
