1920 New Mexico Lobos football team

In their first season under head coach Roy W. Johnson, the Lobos compiled a 3–3 record.

[1] Johnson was hired to take charge of the school's physical education department in August 1920.

In the fall of 1920, the school adopted the nickname "Lobos" for their athletic teams.

A name with a wallop in both fists -- a name which will make you sit up and take notice.In this wild west we must have a name fitting to our surroundings.

The terror of the mountains and prairie, the king of all the western lands is that feared and hated animal -- the Lobo.
