Coach Mike Sheppard prepared his 1-1 New Mexico Lobos to meet the 20^th ranked, 1-0 Arizona Wildcats of coach Dick Tomey.  Arizona rallied from a 7-5 halftime deficit with QB Ron Veal scoring 2 touchdowns in the 2^nd half & the Arizona defense held New Mexico to just 13 yards rushing as the Wildcats retained The Belt with a 25-10 victory over the Lobos.  The Wildcats took a 3-0 lead in the 1^st quarter when PK Gary Coston hit a 39-yard field goal.  New Mexico took the lead in the 2^nd quarter when QB Jeremy Leach threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to WR Carl Winston giving the Lobos a 7-3 lead.  The Wildcats got a safety when LB Mike Parker tackled Lobos’ RB Andre Wooten in the end zone but Arizona still trailed 7-5 at the half.  In the 3^rd quarter, Arizona took the lead with an 18-yard touchdown run by RB Michael Streidnig putting the Wildcats in front 12-7.  New Mexico closed the gap to 2 points when PK David Margolis hit a 27-yard field goal making the score Arizona 12 New Mexico 10.  The Wildcats got a short field when they intercepted Leach at the New Mexico 44-yard line.  Arizona got the touchdown on a 1-yard run from Veal.  The missed extra-point attempt left the Wildcats leading 18-10 entering the final quarter.  Another break came for the Wildcats when DE Reggie Johnson recovered a fumble by Leach at the New Mexico 21-yard line.  Again, Arizona finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run by Veal for the final margin of victory.  Veal finished with just 21 yards passing completing 3 of 5 attempts while he rushed for 42 yards with 2 touchdowns.  Leach threw for 249 yards with a touchdown but had 3 passes intercepted while being sacked 4 times.  Arizona finished the season 7-5 while the Lobos finished 2-10.  New Mexico would play for The Belt again in 1994.
