After ditching their multi-quarterback experiment and throttling rival New Mexico State, the Lobos have officially handed the keys of the offense to Toa Fa’avae. By streamlining the game plan and focusing on execution over volume, head coach Jason Eck saw immediate results, including a flurry of explosive downfield throws. But big plays aren't the whole story. As UNM kicks off conference play against UTEP, the ultimate test for Fa’avae won't just be his arm talent; it will be whether he can master the simple completions, protect the football, and deliver four quarters of steady, down-to-down consistency.
