Yet again, the Miners played better than their record but came up short.
It was homecoming in Ruston, and fans were treated to a closer game than they may have expected. The UTEP Miners were up for the task, but were unable to close the deal against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.
The Bulldog defense got on the board first, as a Ryan Metz pass was tipped by running back Quardraiz Wadley. L’Jarius Sneed caught the tip and took it in for the pick six.
