The last game of the season against Air Force was probably the best game! Miner's goal line stand with Tolbert making the 4th down tackle to end the game was the highlight!

Thanks for the great trip down memory lane. That was my senior year at UTEP. I loved that team.

Those damned helmet decals were ugly back then too, but a great year!

This was great! Thanks for posting. I would love to see more of these.

Sorry 2step, but I love those helmets.

What a great video; a packed stadium, confetti on the field, somehow UTEP's band made the trip, Kugler blocking at Right Guard, Stull at Head Coach, Reffett(who would become a future DC for us)playing Safety, future NFL Coaches on UTEP's sideline, Hoefer(UTEP's future DC during our WAC Championship year) was Coaching his first tour at UTEP, a Sophomore Reggie Barret looking almost like a 80's version of Calvin Johnson, both Kickers in this game ended up having long NFL careers, and Teicher & Limberg were still doing their thing nearly 30 years ago. This was great! Thanks Again!

Can we smite people on this board? I need to smite someone. Not saying who, exactly but the name rhymes with gall-whiner. lol
