Lobos Aim to End 60-Year Title Drought

The Lobos are back, and this time they’re the favorites to win the Mountain West title. After a breakout 9-4 season last year — including a bowl appearance — head coach Jason Eck’s team is now riding a wave of momentum and expectation. But Eck keeps it real: rankings don’t matter, only grit and identity. He credits last year’s success to toughness and resilience, and this season, the focus is on summer work and embracing the pressure that comes with being a top contender. With nationally televised games, high-stakes matchups against UNLV and North Dakota State, and a goal of filling the stadium with 30,000 fans every home game, the Lobos are aiming to end a 58-year championship drought. Eck’s mission? Bring that banner back to Albuquerque — and he’s determined to make it happen while building a legacy of relentless pursuit.
