UTEP football faces off against Old Dominion University (ODU) at the Sun Bowl Stadium on Oct. 2 to close off UTEP’s Homecoming week. After canceling Homecoming last year due to COVID-19 the Miners are planning on making this night one to remember. The Miners have back-to-back home games as the week before they hosted the University of New Mexico Lobos for Texas Western night.
Old Dominion began their season 1-1 after a loss to Wake Forest (42-10) and a win against Hampton (47-7). In the win against Hampton, Old Dominion set a single game record with a total of 358 rushing yards with both running backs redshirt freshman Elijah Davis and freshman Jon-Luke Peaker rushing over 100 yards.
