UTEP vs USM Game Thread

[NeptunianEmp]

Its midfield and only 4 yards, don't punt the damn ball.

 

[FeralFelidae]

GO FOR IT

I'm okay with the punt at this point in the game. Pin them back.

 

[NeptunianEmp]

Which Aggies did yall poach to start having so many penalties???? This is our stigma, not UTEP's.

 

[UTEPMiners8106]

UTEP did everything wrong that drive.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Jeezuz, our discipline is non existent. Farkin’ penalties!!

 

[shyminer81]

Penalties on the road is a bad combination. Defense needs a stop, can’t give them all the momentum.

 

[MinerMambo]

I put the mistakes on the coaches. And speaking of coaches, Aaron Price does not understanding punt and kickoff receiving.

 

[develman]

Why aren't we blitzing this 4th string QB?

 

[MineroFanatico]

No shit! Make him uncomfortable. Put him on his back a few times.

 

[UTEPDefense]

The issue is we are running straight man. Back out in the flats against a LB and a drag over the middle, our DC needs to get out of man only and run some zone, then we would be in better shape to defend these routes.

 

[NeptunianEmp]

WOOT WOOT INT!

 

[OsoFromELP]

Nice pick!

 

[MineroFanatico]

Way to go Barnes!! Nice INT.

 

[JCorona]

There we go. Now we're making him look like a walk on.

 

[UTEPDefense]

We run a zone and what immediately happens.... INT.

You speaketh and it is so!

 

[JCorona]

Now that looks like old Hankins

 

[MineroFanatico]

C’mon Garrett!

 

[OsoFromELP]

3rd and long isn’t working man 🙄

 

[develman]

The drop by Garrett killed that drive.

 

[MinerMambo]

No creativity on offense - everything is predictable. If it wasn’t for Cowing then this offense would be impotent.

 

[JCorona]

We really needed to take advantage of the to and short field.

 

[MineroFanatico]

3rd and long isn’t working man 🙄

We’re just so damn vanilla offensively. We only play a safe hand. No tricks up the sleeve.

But Garrett’s drop was the issue that drive.

 

[MinerMambo]

The talent is there. The coaching is not.

 

[picks up]

We could really use some play action on first down

 

[OsoFromELP]

Needed that pick! 😱

 

[JCorona]

Lange is starting to show his inexperience a bit.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Got the stop!

Wow, what a punt.

 

[MinerMambo]

Prediction. Run on first down and then a straight pass on second down and then a straight pass on third down.

No play action, no misdirection, no creativity.

 

[OsoFromELP]

Man if Hardison just threw that ball more in stride.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Wow, somebody got beat on that play!

 

[FeralFelidae]

I like the Miners as this game goes on because they're balanced (run and pass are both working). Southern Miss, on the other hand, is one-dimensional because the Miners have taken away their run.

The only way I think UTEP loses is if they beat themselves (which, we all know, is possible).

 

[develman]

Well you guys wanted creativity?

Low snap doesn’t help.

Nice camera work ESPN+ 😂

Like that play.

 

[OsoFromELP]

NOTHING ON THAT SERIES! 😡

 

[JCorona]

No PI. Looked like he got hit before the catch

 

[shyminer81]

All these mistakes, not a good damn sign.

 

[develman]

The death of that drive was that cutesy direct snap(attempted) play on 2nd down.
