The last good OOC win they had was 2006 against SDSU. That win was on the road.
But SDSU was 3-9 that year. Tulsa in 1988 was 4-7. I went all the way back to the early 80s and I can’t find any better non conference wins. I remember UTEP beat Urlacher UNM in the late 90s, that may be one too.
You know what? You’re right. They were in the WAC. Wow, so this a 2-1 Boise St team has the potential to be their biggest out of conference win in 40 years?
Boise is probably the biggest name the Miners have beat since the 60s - OOC.
Over the last 30 years, the majority of UTEPs OOC wins are over NMSU, UNM, and FCS schools.
If someone wants to do the work, I don’t think UTEP has ever beat a good non-conference team, other than Sun Bowls.

I hope you’re kidding of just forgot that UTEP beat the defending national champions BYU
All of your questions are dumb. 100% of them. Shock us all and ask a good question just once
They were in the WAC at the time
In 1979, UTEP beat UNLV 17-15. UNLV finished the season 9-1-2. That was their last “good” OOC win. Was here in El Paso too.
So is this an indictment about how bad UTEP football is, or a glimmer of hope for this season?
Damn, you are really, really old. I was only in 7th grade! 😁
Both. It shows that we can do things competently but it’s also not going to be pretty. Teams that have strong run defenses or quick, high powered offenses will still beat us, but at least we showed some life
Also UTEP has been objectively terrible for most of the 20th century
Hell, he ain’t old. I had been out of high school ( Bbbur ggges, Burges) for three years.
The thing that I saw vs Boise was a dominant performance by both the offensive and defensive lines. I have not seen that from UTEP in a long time. Hopefully they keep building on this success. After what I witnessed in the UNM game this was quite a turnaround.
