UTEP vs Rice Game Preview

Why UTEP Will Win

UTEP does a great job of making teams play its game.

The offense has enough occasional firepower to hit the deep shots, but it would much to prefer to grind away behind a decent offensive line that controls the tempo and the clock.

It’s not a hard formula – the Miners have to 1) run well and 2) limit the mistakes. There’s almost no margin for error here. They lost to Louisiana Tech by turning it over four times, and they gave away the 27-10 game to New Mexico by giving it away seven times.

UTEP is 3-0 when it runs for close to 200 yards or more, and it won those three games with just two turnovers. Rice is 0-4 when allowing 178 rushing yards or more, but …

Why Rice Will Win

UTEP is in trouble if Rice gets the passing game going.

The Miners survived a big day from the Charlotte air show thanks to three takeaways, but they’re just 1-4 when giving up over 170 passing yards. Rice has thrown for almost 200 in every game but the loss to USC to kick things off and in a strange win over UAB.

Rice will have to deal with a decent UTEP pass rush, but it shouldn’t be enough to be a bother.

What’s Going To Happen

Being at home will matter to the Owls.

UTEP was able to pull off its lone road win against Charlotte and its nation-worst defense. Other than that, the team lost its other three games away from the Sun Bowl partly because there were too many mistakes.

Yeah, Rice just got bombed by Charlotte in one of the strangest deep cuts outcomes of the season – the Owls lost 56-23 thanks to a defense that didn’t show up.

The Rice run D will step its game up this week.

Why UTEP Will Win

UTPE might not be winning, but that’s partly because it’s been on the road for the last four games.

Okay, so this is a fifth-straight road trip, but the passing game has been fine, the offense is moving the chains better than it has in years, and the defense is doing a decent job of keeping games in range – the UTSA blowout loss a few weeks ago notwithstanding.

Rice doesn’t have enough of a running game to worry about, there’s zero pass rush whatsoever and no pressure from the defensive front, and there are way too many turnovers. The Miners will create their own breaks.

Why Rice Will Win

The Rice passing game is going to be a problem. Michael Collins is a solid veteran quarterback, and he’s getting good seasons out of his underappreciated receiving corps.

Austin Trammell is one of the best deep threats in Conference USA, Jake Bailey is dangerous, and now the whole group just needs the ball a bit more.

For all the good things UTEP has been able to do – at least compared to past seasons – it’s coming off a rough day against a UTSA passing game that’s hardly Alabama’s. The Miners gave up over 300 yards and couldn’t stop anything, and now …

What’s Going To Happen

The Rice passing game will take over.

The Owls somehow managed to score just 17 points against a horrendous North Texas defense, and they’re not going to blow up on the Miners, but they’ll have enough of a deep passing game and do a strong enough job controlling the clock to get out with the second win of a rough and shortened season.
