The Pokes finished the 2012 season with an 8-3 record which was good enough for a third place finish in the final RMAC standings. NMHU's three losses came at the hands of DI opponent Southern Utah University (45-23), #20 Chadron State College (36-33) and #1 CSU-Pueblo (31-17). The Pokes 8-3 mark is the best NMHU record since the 1998 season when the Cowboys posted an 8-3 record under then Head Coach, Carl Ferrill.
