What happened

ESPN RECAP

Jones' 4 TD passes lift New Mexico past UNLV 50-14

LAS VEGAS -- Sheriron Jones threw for four touchdowns and New Mexico rolled to a 50-14 win over UNLV in a Mountain West Conference opener on Saturday. Jones threw two touchdown passes in the last three minutes of a 29-point second quarter that gave the Lobos (3-2) a 29-0 lead. Jones, who was 13 of 20 for 250 yards, connected with Elijah Lilly for a 74-yard score and then found Anselem Umeh for 26 yards 17 seconds before halftime. The 29 points is a school record for the most in a quarter against an FBS school and the 50 points are the most the Lobos scored against UNLV. Jones, who had four TD passes in a 52-33 loss to Liberty a week ago, connected with Emmanuel Harris and Delane Hart-Johnson in the second half. Jones was also the leading rusher with 72 yards as the Lobos picked up 252 of their 502 yards on the ground.
