Louisiana Tech

That LaTech WR carried number 12 for 9 yards?

 

[FeralFelidae]

The D had been playing so well, but you can't give up a 3rd and 16

Yeah, that was brutal.

 

[minermx07]

4th and 1. Years of watching UTEP football says La Tech breaks 7 tackles on the next play and most likely score.

Nor can you give a guy 9 yards on 3rd down when he should’ve gotten no more than 3 or 4 on the very next 3rd down conversion.

 

[minerfan_14]

4-1 becomes first down, another missed tackle

Very poor technique, if any, on that play.

 

[MinerManiac]

Damn! Now we need to hold them to a field goal

 

[minermx07]

Just three missed tackles

 

[minerfan_14]

TD other team. Way too easy, defense getting tired

 

[UTEPDefense]

The D wore down. Can’t blame them.

 

[develman]

Well, the D played a lot better than I thought they would. I really thought LaTech would put 30 plus on us.

 

[MinerManiac]

We need to score on this drive.

 

[MinerMambo]

This is frustrating because this is a very winnable game. The issues are silly penalties and discipline. That is on the coaching staff - and
ultimately the head coach.

 

[utep-piggy]

Defense played great and good enough to win, but Dimels offense is terrible against decent teams. ULM was a fluke!!

Agree. I would add play calling. It’s like all creativity and risk stopped 2 minutes before the half. The O has been vanilla with a side of vanilla.

 

[minerfan_14]

BEAUTIFUL RETURN! 100 YARDS

 

[Miners1991]

Need to work the ball to the TE and throw a screen every now and the. Still plenty of time

 

[MinerManiac]

How's that for a quick TD!

 

[shyminer81]

Wow! 100 yards!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Well there you have it!

The bad news is that the D didn't get much rest, but I guess this will have to do.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Booyah!! I was pissed when he came out of the end zone from 5 yards deep. LOL. Hell yeah!

 

[MinerMambo]

Why not go for 2???

 

[unihorn]

What a cut!

 

[JCorona]

Why didn’t he go for two?

 

[Miners1991]

YES!!!

 

[Lil_Train]

There we go!

 

[develman]

Booyah!! I was pissed when he came out of the end zone from 5 yards deep. Hell yeah!

Yes, I was like no, no, no........YES! YES! YES!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Why not go for 2???

There's still too much time left. If Tech scores a FG, UTEP can tie it with 7.

 

[minerfan_14]

Everyone wondering why they didn’t go for two would be the same ones criticizing it if it failed.

 

[develman]

Why didn’t he go for two?

I did see Dimel make the 2 sign with his right hand and Hardison was too busy celebrating.

 

[FeralFelidae]

And FINALLY the ball is on Tech's side of the field! To me, that's a big relief.

 

[minerfan_14]

Well there you have it!

The bad news is that the D didn't get much rest, but I guess this will have to do.

D just got an infusion of adrenaline. 3 and out now

 

[Dmanminer]

Great D

 

[MinerManiac]

3 and out! Beautiful!

 

[Lil_Train]

I did see Dimel make the 2 sign with his right hand and Hardison was too busy celebrating.

Saw that as well.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Great defense...again.

 

[TxRdKiller]

I gotta ask, are we seeing our guys finally develop some grit and toughness? They've been punching back a bit here. Hittin' some guys. Not taking their stuff.

I like the effort and toughness our guys are showing right now.

 

[minerfan_14]

 

[JCorona]

Not really. Down 21-16 or 21-17 is the same. Down 21-18 isn’t.

 

[utep-piggy]

I thinh the new strength and conditioning staff are doing a great job!
