Minnesota football defeated New Mexico in overtime to win the 2025 Rate Bowl on Friday at Chase Field. Here are the highlights.

Colorado has apparently targeted its new leader for the athletic department. CU athletics has zeroed in on New Mexico athletic director Fernando Lovo to succeed Rick George as the Buffaloes’ athletic director, per a report posted Saturday night by Yahoo Sports.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – North Texas narrowly defeated San Diego State 49-47 in the 20th Isleta New Mexico Bowl game. The game took place Saturday afternoon at University Stadium, marking the end of the college football season. Fans traveled from far and wide to support their teams.

The Colorado Buffaloes are "targeting" Fernando Lovo to be their next athletic director, according to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo. Lovo is currently in his first year as New Mexico's athletic director.

College football fans suggested that the New Mexico Lobos scored a touchdown with their turquoise uniforms for the Rate Bowl against Minnesota.

Mankato native Jalen Smith's touchdown catch in overtime lifted the Gophers to a win over New Mexico in the Rate Bowl at Chase Field.

An offensive role for Gophers defensive back Koi Perich was a major storyline before the 2025 season. The experiment was seemingly over until he played more offensive snaps in Minnesota's Rate Bowl win over New Mexico than the entire regular season combined. Let's take a deeper look at every position Perich lined up at against the Lobos.

Jalen Smith scored his second touchdown a diving 12-yard catch in the first overtime and Minnesota extended its postseason winning streak to nine straight games with a 20-17 win over New Mexico in Rate Bowl.

Hours after the Mean Green’s bowl win, it was reported that Hawkins and fellow RB Ashton Gray will be transferring.

The New Mexico football team fell just short of winning the Rate Bowl but returns to Albuquerque with a promising future.
