ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Austin Brawley returned an interception 56 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter and New Mexico held on to beat North Dakota State 21-16 on Saturday night.
Brawley's pick-6 gave the first-place Lobos (6-1, 3-0 Mountain West Conference) a 21-9 lead early in the fouth quarter. The senior safety had a 65-yard pick-6 in the previous home game a 61-7 romp over UTEP.
New Mexico marched 75 yards in six plays to start the game, scoring on Kiefer Sibley 's 29-yard run for a 7-0 lead it never relinquished. Sibley finished with 91 yards on 13 carries.

North Dakota State (6-2, 3-2) managed only 74 yards of offense and Drew Klein 's 27-yard first-quarter field goal before halftime.
Nathan Hayes finished off a 63-yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Reis Kessell, but Klein's extra-point kick was blocked and the Bison trailed 14-9.
Brawley picked Hayes off and returned it for a touchdown and a 12-point lead.
New Mexico has forced at least two turnovers in every game this season and leads the nation with 23.
