Half of the time we’ve won 3 or more games. It would be nice to get back to those days of beating 3/4 teams per year.
UTEP vs. Texas
- Thread starter unihorn
- Start date
Heck I remember when Baylor was the bottom feeder of the Big 12 South to Kansas in the North. At this point, a complete overhaul from top to bottom needs to be done, of course that involves $$$ which if we’re not winning we’re not generating
You like how Texas knelt on that 4th down up by 56, they didn't try to score. 😏 ⛏
Flores just had more rushing yards in one play than the entire team did all game.
First time Dimel has done anything smart, taking out the starters
I’ve seen more commercials on LHN than actual football.
Watched and completed UFC and Locos matches on ESPN+ while watching this garbage.
I had it as 52 -3, guess they are worse than I thought. I lay 95% of this on poor coaching. We will never get the athletes that a power 5 college gets, but the lack of imagination and poor tackling is on them.
Gotta keep paying shitty coaches $700,000+ per year. Need body bag games to do that.
Been doing a lot of those games unfortunately. OU, A&M, Arkansas, Tennessee come to mind. God forbid we do a one and done with a quality SEC team
And while we’re at it let’s also make sure we make less per game than what utsa signed up for.
I don’t know the math at the top of my head but they’re going to end up with about an extra 1.2 million after their five game series. It’s almost as if we’re playing an extra game for free.
They’ll make around 1.7 per game.
Flat out embarrassing performance. There have been more than a few embarrassing UTEP defensive performances but tonight tops the list. I dont care which fbs school they played tonight we would have given up 50 plus. Absolutely pathetic. It looks like the Sun Belt is on pace to go 3-0 against the big 12 today and we put up that embarrassment.
The offense isn't much better. The online cant run block. The play calling sucks. Fields and Awatt shouldn't be getting carries.
Just pathetic all the way around. I will be suprised if we beat ACU. That defense is atrocious. The tackling poor angles on defense and no pass rush give us no chance against fbs schools.
Senter and Dimel must go. Year three and we get that. Just embarrassing.

They were within 8 when I last checked. didn’t keep track but it would’ve not have been surprised if they did pull it off.
I stopped watching in the first. UTEP was in deep sh*t from jump street and it sounded like it didn’t get any better. Let’s just hope they can walk properly after UT shoved a 1.4 million dollar boot up their butt cheeks.

If they don't improve the pass rush and corners immediately, it's going to be a very long season. The corners can't cover basic slant routes and the defensive line doesn't seem to have any moves but a bull rush. Very disappointing at this point. 15 practices are more than enough to have worked on this. Positions must be put up for grabs this week in practice.
Looks like that defense didn't improve after all.
500 yards and 45 points in the 1st freaking half. We got lucky that Herman decided to line up in "victory formation" for most of the 2nd half. Pathetic.
At least we won the time of possession battle on the field. I am sure DImel will see that as a huge positive and see that as improvement on offense.

Now living in a small town of Myrtle Beach have to watch CCU beat Kansas and then watch UTEP get its butt kicked. CCU just expanded their stadium to 20K to be in Sun Belt and have a tiny budget yet they won National Championship in baseball and beat Big 12 team in football. What is wrong with UTEP?
Don't know if UTEP could beat Kansas or not, but comparing what UTEP went through against Texas to someone beating Kansas, is absolutely crazy. Kansas is a terrible football program right now. Les Miles will most likely get them going in a few years, but right now they are basically an FCS team in comparison to Texas. That very well might be better than UTEP still and in no way excuses the terrible defensive progression that UTEP has shown.

32 years of Dr. Natalicio being UTEP’s president and her focus on academics, and not on athletics. She was great for the University not so much for athletics. VA Miner, so you moved from NOVA, I live in Rockville and have a home in El Paso. I go to as many UTEP games as I can.
Kansas may not be a fair comparison, but Kansas State and Iowa State who lost to Sun Belt schools are. Texas has been a mediocre program for a decade. A power program in reputation only. They've been equal to Iowa State for about five years and K State has had the better program the last decade. Two Sun Bowl schools in situations like ours went out and got wins. I wasn't expecting a win but I was expecting we would put up a fight. Last night with that defense performance UMASS could've been the opponent and the result would've been the same. The Longhorns were playing offense against air. Worst defensive performance I've seen. On offense it was just like SFA we couldnt open up running lanes. Against SFA the 25 extra scholarship advantage we have were them down in the fourth and we didn't get yds against texas until they inserted their walk on done in the fourth. Our offensive line cant open holes against any fbs line and probably couldnt against the top 70% of FCS schools. This game is an indictment on Dimel. In year three we are regressing which is almost unfathomable.
Kansas won 3 games last year and lost to mighty UT by 2 whole points in Austin. FCS team?
