Apodaca, New Mexico beat Nevada 35-26 after lightning delay

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The halftime fireworks in the form of a lightning storm rocked the press box and momentarily extinguished the field lights late Saturday night, a prelude to New Mexico quarterback Austin Apodaca accounting for two second-half touchdowns to help the Lobos beat Nevada 35-26. Apodaca hit Emmanuel Harris for a 44-yard touchdown in the third quarter and followed that up with a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter to seal the game. The teams waited out a one-hour, 49-minute delay that sent nearly every fan fleeing permanently from the stadium. And New Mexico (6-3, 4-1 Mountain West) came out strong after the extended break, scoring two quick touchdowns. The Wolf Pack (3-6, 1-4) rallied for two scores of their own, but missed on an extra point, and failed on a 2-point try that would have tied it at 28-all midway through the fourth quarter.
