Get White on a hot streak for a few series and it could make things interesting. When he's hot, he's pretty hard to stop. Just have a UTEP History professor recreate the Battle of Thermopylae for the team. You don't even have to jazz it up 300 style. They knew they were going to die, and it's amazing how the human spirit reacts when in such circumstance.
Anything can happen........
BOISE, Idaho -- With the New Mexico state flag draped over them, most of the New Mexico Lobos players lingered on Boise State's famed blue turf and snapped photos long after their 31-24 victory over the Broncos on Saturday night.
And who could blame them for wanting to document the moment?
New Mexico (6-4, 4-2 Mountain West) notched its biggest win of the Bob Davie era -- and arguably in school history -- and are now in an unexpected position to win the Mountain Division after being picked to finish last in the media preseason poll. It was the Lobos' first win over Boise State in seven tries.
And the Lobos did it in surprising fashion, jumping ahead 14-3 at halftime and never falling behind.
"The atmosphere in the locker room at halftime was just so excited and energetic," said Davie, whose team is 6-5 in its last 11 conference games while going 5-41 before that. "I told the guys to calm down. And in the fourth quarter you could tell we hadn't been there before.
"But with that said, this team's aggressiveness, resiliency and toughness -- I think we turned a corner here tonight."
New Mexico's opportunistic defense yielded 638 yards but forced four turnovers, two of which were in the red zone.
Boise State (7-3, 4-2), which took over the second-longest active home winning streak in FBS at 18 games after Baylor lost earlier Saturday, had won 21 straight after a bye week.

Good quality team? Houston in 2010 here at the Sun Bowl.
MTSU doesn't get much national pub, but last year's win was a good win against them. That was a tooth and nail, last second, die where you stand type of win. Good coach and good team and they were coming off a banner year the year before.
