Games against Miss St, SMU, and NC St suggest otherwise.F That. Every team isn't playing their worst game against us. UTEP has played excellent.

You are correct MF. Yet, you can't say enough about the defense. Somehow able to overcome 4 turnovers, and poor play calling against a solid team. Couldn't be happier if we pull this one off.Last I’ll say. We had 14 points 8 minutes into the game. What has happened since. 2 points from the defense and 3 from the offense.
Let’s wait till the official stays come out….Except that we didn’t control the ball. As soon as Awatt left the ball control left as well.
Do you honestly think we controlled the ball the 2nd half?
Yes, being a fan of one of the poorest athletics departments is like being a fan of one of the richest football clubs in the world. Excellent comparison!!!Being a UTEP fan is like being a Man City fan. Never sure of a “victory” but always ready to say “typical city/utep”. Friends here say the game is over but that nervousness!
We’re not Liverpool yetCome on guys. We should be destroying these teams!!!! Our football pedigree the last half a decade says winning isn't good enough. We should dominate these games 40-3.
Amen. The Miner defense is legit.You are correct MF. Yet, you can't say enough about the defense. Somehow able to overcome 4 turnovers, and poor play calling against a solid team. Couldn't be happier if we pull this one off.
No. I don’t get why intelligent posters propose it has to be either this or that. As if there are only two options and that’s it.
Whatever, I don’t wanna be a dick.
Game has been done since the interceptionJust need 1 more first down to put the game away. But not with this anemic play calling.
I’m just gonna say, they eye test alone says we didn’t “control” the ball the 2nd half. Even much of the 2nd quarter.Let’s wait till the official stays come out….
DramaticYeah a Coach who changed the Nation's worst Football Program to a Bowl team in 4 season should be fired.
Great Opinion
I agree but with 2 mins and counting before the punt this is typical Mourinho “park the bus” in a sense.Just need 1 more first down to put the game away. But not with this anemic play calling.
That’s fair. Doesn’t mean it’s super “fun” or “exciting” to see the offense though.Do y'all honestly rather risk losing by changing our style than grinding out wins? I'll take what we're doing over what anyone on this board says.
Don’t care about the eye test, I care for actual statsI’m just gonna say, they eye test alone says we didn’t “control” the ball the 2nd half. Even much of the 2nd quarter.
Dramatic
True. But honestly don't care. 6-1 and 3-0 is all that mattersThat’s fair. Doesn’t mean it’s super “fun” or “exciting” to see the offense though.
Nah, I think it’s perfect timing. Ending 6-1, time to recover, etc. no better timeSo is it unfortunate we have a bye week coming up? Will it affect the momentum this team currently has waiting two weeks for its next game?
Almost 37 minutes time of possession. Yes, I do.Except that we didn’t control the ball. As soon as Awatt left the ball control left as well.

And what if that killer instinct results in 6 turnovers and we lose. Then you would also find something to b*tch about....So I am fvcking stoked that we are 6-1. Yet I reserve the fan "right" to bitch about Dismel's "Brownshitz run run run punt" offensive scheme when we have even the slightest of leads with 3 quarters (tonight being an exception) still to play.
I wish this mutha fvcka knew how to instill a killer instinct but, alas, we hired a guy that has no fvcking clue how to do that. Some day I will need to recognize and accept this fact.
And yes, I know that this is "par for the course" for the past 60 years...
Especially for those who were here from when Dimel got hired and stuck with itLove it. Happy for these guys.
Love it. Happy for these guys.
That’s 7 minutes more than the opponent.Almost 37 minutes time of possession. Yes, I do.
Hrs just being crabby because (part smart a$$ part observing here) Dimel is actually winning within his time frame and he can’t stand it.And what if that killer instinct results in 6 turnovers and we lose. Then you would also find something to b*tch about....
Actually, it's 14 minutes more than the opponent.That’s 7 minutes more than the opponent.
Be honest Feral, do you really think that was the key to our win, or was it the defense who played lights out, fantastic? LaTech could have had 10 more minutes of possession and it wouldn’t have made a bit of difference. Why? Because of the defense. Without question.
Ok, granted. My question still stands. Do more minutes of LaTech having the ball help them? No. They scored 3 points tonight. Because of our defense. Defense.Actually, it's 14 minutes more than the opponent.
“Ok granted”Ok, granted. My question still stands. Do more minutes of LaTech having the ball help them? No. They scored 3 points tonight. Because of our defense. Defense.
A ball-control approach to offense complements that kind of defense.Ok, granted. My question still stands. Do more minutes of LaTech having the ball help them? No. They scored 3 points tonight. Because of our defense. Defense.
