Game 1 OPT: UTEP at Nebraska

Dana Dimel isn't coaching anymore, this is a new era of UTEP Football. Unfortunately it's probably going to start like the last several eras have:

Huskers 41
Miners 17

UTEP has not covered on the road, against a P4 school, in I don't know how long. But I think it will happen and it will be closer than anyone thinks. Not because UTEP has improved tremendously (they have, a little), but because Nebraska is overhyped like usual.
I would guess it was the Tennessee game.
 
I don’t know how anyone could sanely predict a UTEP win. Most of the players were 3-9 last year or playing at Austin Peay. Have to go with history on this one until SW has a couple of games under his belt.

Its manifesting a win
 
Miners take chances to start fast and lead at halftime and then trade TDs in the second half. Magic Miners 42 proud Huskers 38.
winners take chances and chances make winners.
its our time now ...

No Sane person thinks Utep will win. However covering 27 1/2 is very possible. I say 3 tds probably

UTEP 10
NU 45
 
Our only hope to keep the game close is if the Nebraska freshman QB comes out playing bad, and NU turns the ball over several times. I hope our guys come fired up, take care of the ball and score points. The longer this game stays close the more confident our team will get.
 
If UTEP beats the spread that would be a success given all of the turnover this past year. I’m curious to see how special teams looks because the kicking and punting looked bad in the spring game and if UTEP cant get FGs and flip field position that could get blown out

I’d be happy with a 2TD loss or less and I’d be over the moon with a an upset like Texas St. had last year over Baylor that got them rolling!

I don't expect Nebraska to struggle as much as Baylor did last season, and I don't see UTEP being as strong as Texas State either.

I don’t either particularly, but I’m saying that would be Amazing! History of course isn’t on our side, but new coach and new attitude so who knows!
