UTEP 30
Texas 23
Miners have too much firepower in my imagination

Or...maybe 80 to 14.
I think we can get into the end zone a couple of times.
Keeping with my initial thought of 52-14 The people predicting 77 and 80 are out of touch with recent college football trends. Texas Coach wouldn't allow it to get that high even if Utep is that bad. However I don't know just yet if Utep is as bad as apparently most people think. They may be just Pretty Bad instead of Really Bad this year lol
Ohio St beat Miami(OH) 76-5 and Maryland 73-14 last season. Notre Dame beat UNM 66-14.Bama beat NMSU 62-10. Really out of touch!
To your point no team has ever scored more than 58 on a Dimel team. He has played
@ 9 Ohio St
@ 12 Georgia
13 Air Force
@ 2 Tennessee
@ 22 LSU
@ 15 Texas
13 USM
5 Texas
@ 11 Louisville
@ 22 Georgia
@ 3 Texas
@ Tennessee
@ Texas Tech
I wouldn't say they struggled. They started off slow then dominated both sides, got turnovers, allowed minimal yards and if Dimel wasn't a nice guy it would've been 31-14. I like Texas too, but they aren't Alabama, Ohio St, etc... You're giving them way too much credit lol
Mmm.... Ticket to Utep Basketball Game, $20 on cash app, or of I lose I have to say NoNCAA is the greatest ever at the end of every post from now on or visa versa if you lose lol
From Orangebloods:
I can confirm Texas receiver Jake Smith is expected to miss the season opener against UTEP on Saturday due to a hamstring injury. 247 was the first outlet to report Smith's injury.
According to my sources, Smith's injury is minor. I was told if Texas was facing Oklahoma on Saturday, Smith would play. However, the Longhorns are not willing to risk Smith's long-term health against UTEP.
Instead, Smith is expected to rest this weekend and play against Texas Tech on September 26.
In addition, my sources inside the building told me Texas will likely utilize its 12-personnel against UTEP in Smith's absence. There is a lot of confidence in the tight end group, and it appears Smith's injury will give us an opportunity to see the Longhorns in that formation on Saturday.

Scored 7 in 2016 and 13 in 2008 so it’s possible. I think the only shut out was 1930. 3rd among independents that season with Texas being the only loss.
1930 Texas Mines Miners football team - Wikipedia
What game vs Texas since you've been alive didn't we score a TD?
A decent comparison for this years UTEP team might be last years Rice team. Rice had an improved team from the previous year, winning 3 games and very competitive in most of its games. The Owls lost to Texas 48-13, scoring 2 tds via the pass. The Owls didn't score until the 4th qtr and had less than 300 yards total offense. They trailed 31-0 at the half so obviously Texas took their foot off the pedal.
And Texas is supposed to be better this year and are #14 pre-season.
