What. Is. Going. On?

 

[Rot]

What the hell just happened? The Miners are sleep walking now and the owls are making a big comeback. The Miners are now up by 8 points.

I think I can defend the fade better than Needham. At least be an inconvenience.

 

[develman]

Two 4th down TD's allowed by the Defense.

I think that last penalty on him (that shouldn’t have been called) is mentally affecting him. Needs to snap out of it

60 minutes gentlemen! That's how long the game is. Not 30 minutes. Major lesson being taught to the Miners by the Owls.

 

[minermx07]

Last three offensive drives.

Fumble
Interception
3 and out

Last three defensive positions.

Quick TD and 2 Point Conversion
Interception!
Quick TD and 2 Poibt Conversion

We need to stop protecting the lead and keep playing to win.

 

[MineroFanatico]

We need good dose of Wadley and Hughes to move the chains and chew some clock.

 

[DanGomez1997]

Oh no

 

[shyminer81]

WTH is happening! Newham getting taken advantage of. Offense has hit a snag. And Rice is bombing away.

 

[MineroFanatico]

We look like the Miners from 7 weeks ago. Wake the f*#k up UTEP!

 

[minermx07]

Safe play with the screen means hey at least we can take forty seconds off the clock. Never mind, dropped.

 

[shyminer81]

NEEDHAM

 

[MineroFanatico]

Stopped the bleeding. For now anyway.

 

[minermx07]

The way this game is going we might lose 50-34.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Wadley!!!

 

[shyminer81]

Big penalty

 

[JCorona]

Defense will have to win this game for us cuz the offense can’t get anything going anymore.

 

[minermx07]

I'm in favor of running the ball on 2nd and 16. This game cant end fast enough. Run it again.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Let’s go D!!!

 

[minerfan_14]

Nice sack

 

[minerfan_14]

Holding offense

 

[MineroFanatico]

Mascorro came up big that series.

 

[minerfan_14]

Interception!!!

 

[minermx07]

Being a UTEP, I've been trained to expect that Rice will pass a 5 yard dink that the receiver will barely convert to a first down AND WE GOT AN INT!

 

[MineroFanatico]

Thankful for the pick but knock that ball down and get it at the 10.

Oh yeah you're right, that would've been the better football play. Hey beggars cant be choosers.

[utep2step]

[DanGomez1997]

Streak is done!

 

[utep2step]

High fives all around!

 

[UTEPDefense]

Congratulations everyone!

 

[Minerforlife]

They almost gave me gave me a heart attack but they won! The streak is over!

 

[utep2step]

Im literally crying. (I know. I need to get a life)

 

[Minerforlife]

Im literally crying. (I know. I need to get a life)

Easily the most emotional win since the 2014 win over middle tenn to get us our first winning season in ten years. You arent the only one crying today it was a long time coming.

 

[Lil_Train]

I must admit, after the last Rice score around the 8 minute mark, I had to stop listening; and take a little walk. Great to see the Miners hang on for the win. The streak is finally over.
