Golden Eagles fall to FBS New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The early going was positive for the Tennessee Tech football team on Saturday night. The Golden Eagles forced turnovers, moved the ball and ended the first stanza all square at 7-7. 

That changed in the second quarter as New Mexico outscored Tech 21-3 before the half, then scored 28 unanswered points in the second half as the Lobos out of the Football Bowl Subdivision Mountain West Conference defeated the Golden Eagles 56-10. 

Tech (0-2) returns to action next week for its home opener as the Golden Eagles host North Alabama on Saturday.
