FORT COLLINS, Colo (AP) — Kobe Johnson returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown to lift Colorado State to a 17-6 win over New Mexico on Saturday.

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and Caleb Goodie also combined on a 46-yard touchdown as the Rams (5-3, 3-0 Mountain West Conference) scored all 17 points in the second quarter of the homecoming win.

Johnson fielded the punt on his left sideline and danced diagonally through the defenders until he reached smooth sailing down the right sideline.

Luke Drzewiecki opened the scoring with a 29-yard field goal in the first minute of the second quarter and closed it with a 43-yarder at 6:22 of the third quarter for the Lobos (3-5, 2-2).

After the first field goal, Fowler-Nicolosi found Goodie deep down the middle, hitting him in stride at the goal line on the post pattern. Fowler-Nicolosi finished 11 of 20 for 142 yards passing.

Ryan Davis had a career day for New Mexico with nine catches for 146 yards as Devon Dampier was 23-of-40 passing for 319 yards, but he had two interceptions.

The Lobos had 453 yards to 334 for the Rams but New Mexico had four turnovers.
