UTEP vs UAB Game Preview
Why UTEP Will Win
UTEP got its groove back after a three-game losing stretch with Gavin Hardison and the passing game going off in the win over Rice.
The Miner offense hits a whole slew of big plays down the field, but it’s also able to control the clock thanks to a defense that’s great at getting off the field. This isn’t normal for the program.
One of the best stories of the year, UTEP is going bowling, it’s interesting, and it’s got a good enough team in place to win a game like this against a strong UAB team.

UAB’s defense is nasty against the run and leads Conference USA in total yards allowed, so …

What’s Going To Happen
UAB might not win the Conference USA championship, but now it’s about jockeying for a good bowl position.
At home in the regular season finale – and on Senior Day – the Blazers will bounce back from the loss to UTSA and match UTEP big pass play for big pass play to go along with a terrific day on the ground.
UAB will be in control throughout.
