The Texas Longhorns have not truly been on the football field since December, so Saturday’s kickoff against the UTEP Miners at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium comes with a ton of anticipation.
Texas has faced off against the Miners on five different occasions, winning all five in dominant fashion. UTEP is now in its third season under new head coach Dana Dimel, hoping to improve on just one win in each of its previous seasons under Dimel’s leadership. The Miners already have one win under their belt, downing Stephen F. Austin last week, 24-14, after falling behind early.
