Check out all of the news you ay have missed from the Mountain West.
NFL.com put together their list of 10 NFL Draft prospects to watch this week and it features a pair of Mountain West players.
6. Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming
Hill is an interesting back in that he runs angry when needed, but also shows great patience when following a lead blocker. While he's not the biggest or fastest ball carrier, nobody in the country shows more determination in their running.
4. Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
NFL size? Check. NFL arm? Check. NFL athleticism? Check. Allen is checking off many of the boxes with NFL scouts as he improves through his junior year with the Cowboys.
Wyoming gets to play future independent New Mexico State in a home-and-home. Yay?
JUST IN: Wyoming to play at New Mexico State in 2018 and host the Aggies in Laramie in 2024. #GoWyo

Tough night for New Mexico as they lost to Arizona, 77-46, and no the team did not quit.
I asked Neal if team is quitting: "No, they're not doing that. I think they're responding, I just think that we played a real good team."

Also, Noodles’ job on the line?
UNM AD Paul Krebs told me he won't discuss job status of any coach until evaluation at end of season. He said he's been consistent with that
