UTEP vs Southern Miss Game Preview
Why UTEP Will Win
UTEP is actually playing well in tight games.
It’s not beating anyone great, but who cares? Southern Miss isn’t all that great.
The Miners are getting timely play from their defense, they’re great overall at holding on to the ball – at least when it comes to controlling the clock – and the offensive line isn’t allowing anything behind the line.

Why Southern Miss Will Win
UTEP’s offense isn’t exactly lighting it up.
The defense has been solid, but there’s no running game over the last three weeks, the team hasn’t hit 350 yards of total offense during the span, and there are way, way too many penalties, special teams issues, and mediocre passing problems for a team that’s 4-1.
Southern Miss is way overdue for a good day.
The passing game worked in the 24-19 loss to Rice, there’s good pressure from the defensive front, and UTEP isn’t going to run the ball.

What’s Going To Happen
Is UTEP really good enough to be 5-1?
Southern Miss has to finally get the O going against an FBS team, but the Miners are playing just well enough defensively to pull this off. However, both teams are overdue to go the other way with their respective momentum.
UTEP’s wins have come at home, with the exception of the layup against New Mexico State. Southern Miss went on the road to deal with Alabama and Rice, and this week the passing game should click just enough to push ahead and finally get something positive going after a rough start.
