ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Six years ago, New Mexicos football team was at one of the lowest points in its history with a dismal 1-11 record.UTSA was just about to start its football program.On Dec. 17, the two schools with rising programs will kick off the college postseason in the New Mexico Bowl following painful years of losing and long efforts to build competitive teams.At a New Mexico Bowl news conference, first-year UTSA head coach Frank Wilson said its an honor to lead the Roadrunners in the schools first ever bowl appearance.This is history for our program, Wilson said. No matter what happens, this will always be the first time for us.UTSA (6-6) won five of its last eight games to become bowl eligible for the first time in the programs six-year history.When Wilson took over the Roadrunners, he didnt make promises on when UTSA would make it to a bowl. I said wed make it whenever were good enough, Wilson said.And now that UTSA is in a bowl, Wilson said watch out for the teams exciting offense and speed. We vary game to game based on what we need to do to win the football game, he said.Meanwhile, the Lobos (8-4) shared the Mountain Wests Mountain Division title and are in a bowl for the second year in a row following years of losing records.New Mexico head coach Bob Davie said he was happy to play in back-to-back New Mexico Bowls.You know, you have to take advantage of the momentum, said Davie, the former Notre Dame coach who took over the struggling New Mexico program in 2012.He said New Mexico and UTSA have traveled similar paths in recent years to get to this point.UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey said it was fitting for her school to play Davie and New Mexico in its first ever bowl. Thats because when Hickey was building the football program, she sought Davies advice while he was a college football analyst for ESPN and ABC.Did UTSA ever offer Davie the head coaching job before he came to New Mexico?I think that was probably something thats in the past and theres no reason to get that specific, Davie said.

LOS ANGELES -- Jordan Zimmermann won his NL and major league-leading seventh game, Ryan Zimmerman drove in three runs and the Washington Nationals defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Monday night after losing Bryce Harper in a violent collision with the wall in right field. Zimmermann (7-1) allowed nine hits and two runs in 7 2/3 innings, struck out five and walked none. Harper left the game in the fifth after hitting the scoreboard wall face-first while tracking a ball hit by A.J. Ellis over his left shoulder. He never looked at the wall and when he finally turned, he was on top of it. The impact sent Harpers cap flying as he bounced off the wall and crumpled to the ground, with Ellis getting a triple. Harper rolled onto his back and eventually got up under his own power. Streaks of blood were evident on his neck as he walked off the field. There was no immediate update on his condition before the game ended. He was playing just his second game after missing two with an ingrown toenail that required surgery. The Nationals ended a five-game skid at Dodger Stadium, where they were swept last year when Harper made his major league debut. The Dodgers two-game winning streak ended after Josh Becketts shortest outing of the season. Beckett (0-5) gave up four runs -- two earned -- and three hits in three innings while striking out five and walking two. Zimmermans RBI grounder in the first gave Washington a 1-0 lead. His RBI double added two more runs inn the third, when Adam LaRoche made it 4-0 on a RBI groundout.dddddddddddd Beckett gave up three runs on one hit in the inning. The Nationals extended their lead to 6-0 in the fifth. Zimmerman grounded into a fielders choice to pitcher Javy Guerra, and Steve Lombardozzi scored on Guerras throwing error. LaRoches RBI single scored Harper, who walked. The Dodgers trailed 6-1 in the sixth on Skip Schumakers RBI groundout. Matt Kemps RBI single in the eighth drove in their other run and extended his hitting streak to 12 games. It wasnt Harpers first collision with the wall at Dodger Stadium. Last year in the second game of his career he hit the centre-field wall while making a catch and hurt his back. On April 30 in Atlanta, he bruised his left side leaping toward the fence while trying to prevent a home run.
