Why UTEP Will Win
We live in a world where UTEP is 3-1. After so many years of pain and frustration, how is this happening?
The defense is doing a solid job of getting off the field, and the passing game is hitting the downfield passes for the first time in years.

Louisiana Tech will get up early, the offense will set a pace UTEP can’t keep up with, and Skip Holtz’s team will get back on track after the 45-14 blasting at BYU.
