Hope the miner offense brings some fireworks.
Will be out of town, but will always be following The Miners.

Odd time, the game starts at 5:30, halftime will occur around 6:30-7:30. Not exactly dark at that time. I guess both teams could agree to pass on every down and we could make it a 3 hour half.

Just a gut feeling, but if UTEP cuts the damn penalties they should win convincingly. 95 yards in penalties by halftime against La Tech were stupid. I have seen what I have wanted to see and other than the penalties, I really do believe Dimel may have turned the corner, finally. Not sure on the heavy dose of Fields more than Hankins, but Hardison is a good qb and getting better every week, Cowing is not the GOAT, yet, but Higgins like and Cooper has finally showing his PAC 12 hands we've been waiting for and that O Line pass protection is P5 stellar, but the run blocking needs to open those seams better.

Our offense is one aspect but I really believe defense is where we have an advantage and will decide this game. Our defense so far has shown to be the area where we have made a great leap and if that can continue we will have a chance in every game we play from here on out.

So true! The pass rush has really been a huge improvement. If the coverage can improve just a little bit more, we could be looking at a top 3 defense in C-USA.

If the offense can figure out a way to utilized the middle of the field more in the passing game, I think it could really open things up for the running game. Right now it just seems like they only feel comfortable throwing deep posts in the middle of the field, but that doesn't really help pull the linebackers away from the line. Some timing routes on the outside would be a plus too.

Those penalties cost UTEP some badly needed points that would have won that game. The Miner defense held LT to their fewest yards this season, barely over 200 yds and that normally would not produce 21 points.

Televised game so it might work out. By 7 it's dark.
