OPT: UTEP @ La Tech

[STexMiner]

The way the defense is playing, just don't turn it over, and hold on for dear life. Of course, I probably just jinxed it and here comes a 97 yard TD.

Just a shoestring away from that.

 

[dementiajoe]

Defender got a free pony ride there.

 

[MineroFanatico]

That was UTEP level luck stepping backwards and out of bounds for a 1 yard gain after picking up 6.

 

[MinerManiac]

D looks like it's getting tired

 

[dementiajoe]

Defense is crumbling now

 

[develman]

My man 30 gets beat two to three times a game, SMH.

 

[JCorona]

Defense has them right where they want them. The less field behind them the better they play.

 

[utep2step]

Defense is crumbling now

Damn. A turnover would be nice right now.

 

[elpasoeagle]

Oh well. He can always redshirt next year. If he’s good, he will be in the portal soon after anyway

If you are redshirting players in the age of unlimited transfers, that's crazy. If they are your best option - Play them. Don't save extra eligibility for their next program.

I agree

 

[Lil_Train]

D-Line guy covering the RB out of the backfired. Give him credit for making the tackle, but wth.

 

[dementiajoe]

So we’ll need a TD to win this game 😳

 

[MinerManiac]

That might be game. Does anyone see this offense scoring a TD?

 

[utep2step]

Can't blame this defense.

 

[UTEPMiners8106]

If UTEP can’t come back here I’m not going to blame the players. I don’t know how many teams can go down to the 3rd stringer and be effective.

 

[elpasoeagle]

If Pickle can't throw the ball UTEP could be in trouble.

 

[JCorona]

That might be game. Does anyone see this offense scoring a TD?

I guess we won’t know until we see a Pickle pass.

 

[utep2step]

That might be game. Does anyone see this offense scoring a TD?

Nope. Hope to be wrong.

 

[KaneFan29]

I see 3 straight runs and a punt in our future. Going back to 2018-2023 here

 

[elpasoeagle]

Who is the other Freshman QB who they said has already played in 3 games?

 

[FarWestTexas]

Here comes the they have better lighting than us next 😅

Just wanted to say after the most recent LT TD they got them cool lights that flicker and stuff 🫠

 

[utep2step]

I called 14 13 score for LT. Prove me wrong Pickles!

 

[JCorona]

You’re 6 minutes away from winning the OPT!

 

[dementiajoe]

Play of the game was LATECH knocking out our QB. 🙄

 

[KaneFan29]

Run

 

[Lil_Train]

Shay Smith. He played a couple of games early. Last week he played on wefense, which appears to be an incredibly dumb move at this time. 🤔

 

[JCorona]

La Tech has four safeties out. If we don’t pass now we never will.

 

[MINER.JAY]

Can’t we just get a utep intern to sit by the light switch and flicker it on and off? I think that’d be cheaper. We don’t score enough tds for that investment 😅

Wow, so you're watching the number of games played, and he played D????

 

[MinerManiac]

Point taken, but we had only scored once with Locklear in there anyway.

 

[KaneFan29]

Oh wow, another run. First down at least

 

[MineroFanatico]

Maybe Walden has one in the pocket that he’s saving. Kinda like the Brownholz jump n dump.

 

[STexMiner]

I guess we won’t know until we see a Pickle pass.

He has good form on the post handoff fake.

 

[JCorona]

Ok let’s go back to running

 

[dementiajoe]

A PASS!!!

 

[KaneFan29]

1st pass goes for maybe half a yard

 

[dementiajoe]

Stack 11 in the box. Dare Pickle to throw downfield.

 

[MinerManiac]

Game over

 

[KaneFan29]

That was ****ing horrible

 

[dementiajoe]

Nope
