FIU sucks. They're only 2-4, and tbeir 330 ypg is near the bottom of FBS yards. But we are worse, with an 0-6 record, averaging only 323 ypg. And they put those yards to better use than we do, averaging 27 ppg to our 16 ppg. I'm going to predict a score close to those numbers:

FIU: 27
UTEP: 17

How long until we play Kennesaw St?

 

[utep2step]

UTEP is horrid in the Red Zone. Just look at these team stats. Yikes!

And UTEP is so penalty happy at home.

FIU- wins.

if Cade can't go, then they lose big...
Locklear (no disrespect) has not shown he is the guy to lead them to a win. I'd rather see Shay or Pickles...

FIU-45
UTEP-7

This will be the best pillow fight of the year. Each team trying to prove they can win. I expect a high scoring game with the last team to score wins. Look for a 35 to 30 game. It feels like the the new "Mountain West" Miners could win this game. Would like to see Cade start, but on the other hand, Pickles starting would be very interesting..
Start Jolly and give him 25 carries..

Miners pull their first win of the year.

We’re bad, but Sam Houston and W. Kentucky are much better than FIU.

Walden and his coaching staff continue to be cheerleaders on the sidelines. 🤡

You're too early. Best pillow fight of the year will be when we play Kennesaw State. Two worst teams in FBS fighting for the title of absolute worst team in FBS.

Tomorrow’s MTSU vs Kennesaw game is a doozy as well.

We haven't sniffed 35 points. Hell, we've barely even scored 35 points total this year.

Look at his past predictions. He's just a cheerleader.

Walden pulls one out of his...bag of tricks.

 

[T-6 Miner]

Can't believe this is my guess but...

FI - 20
TEP - 24

I hope so. Hope CS can hug his family mid field like Sanchez was able to.

 

[utep2step]

Initial response is "how cool". But the reality is NMSU and UTEP can't score against above .500 teams!

NMSU defense came to play, however. La Tech will be looking for a new coach soon.

1st win of the Walden era!

Just turned the game on and Teicher said “it may be a long night “. I take it we didn’t have a good start

 

[MinerFan79]

Tailgaters will make their way in shortly

Now we’re talking ! Dorian Hopkins!!

What is your coach's fascination with keeping Locklear as a quarterback? With all due respect, the guy was a backup at FCS and should not be starting in FBS.

He's an OKG...never question an OKG.
