Down 16-6 going into the fourth quarter, the Cougars came up with a superb come-from-behind effort to score 21 points in the final period and squeeze out a very important 27-23 win.

New Mexico was most effective on the ground, rushing for 215 yards and two touchdowns. Running backs Bill Ring and Scott Phillips had 105 yards rushing between them. Place-kicker Brent Johnson had two field goals (41 and 39 yards) to account for nine points overall. The win at Albuquerque proved to be a key game in the Cougars' scramble for the championship. Wilson was voted the WAC offensive player of the week. BYU now 3- 1.
