ALBUQUERQUE - The Arizona Wildcats have handed away a chance to start with three consecutive wins.

Fumbled away is more like it.

Rodney Ferguson rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns, and the Lobos took advantage of five Arizona turnovers to dispatch the Wildcats 36-28 at University Stadium.

Arizona (2-1) last lost games to New Mexico in each of the last two years, bringing some balance to a regional rivalry that the Cats had traditionally dominated.

Saturday's game was eerie reminder of last year's game, in which the UA turned the ball over three times on the way to a 29-27 loss at Arizona Stadium.

Quarterback Willie Tuitama was intercepted twice and fumbled twice on the way to his worst performance of the young season. Tailback Nicolas Grigsby coughed up the ball on the first play of the second half, a momentum-shifted that gave New Mexico the upper hand.

Of course, James Aho helped.

The Lobos' redshirt freshman kicker connected on five touchdowns, tied for a school record. He hit 48-yard field goal with 2:16 remaining in the third quarter to make it 30-21, and tacked on a pair of scores in the fourth quarter to put Arizona away.

The Lobos started the second half as well as they finished it.

New Mexico's Clint McPeek stripped the ball from UA tailback Nicolas Grigsby on the first play of the second half, and teammate Glover Quin returned it 29 yards to Arizona's 10. On the next play, UNM running back Rodney Ferguson punched the ball in on a 10-yard run. To make it 27-14.

The Wildcats pulled within a touchdown thanks to some help. Arizona appeared headed for a field goal attempt when UNM's Herbert Felder hit quarterback Willie Tuitama after he missed long on a third-and-10 attempt. Arizona was moved to UNM's 11, and — two plays later — Nicolas Grigsby scored on a four-yard touchdown run.
