The Miners are in a quick turnaround this week after a 38-31 victory against Bethune-Cookman University. Both teams exchanged touchdowns to the bitter end of the contest with the Miners coming out on top. UTEP faces a greater challenge in the University of Boise State. The Broncos are coming off a 31-36 loss to the University of Central Florida last week.
“I have a lot of respect for [Boise State]. They’ve earned and proven what kind of football team they are,” said UTEP coach Dana Dimel during a Sept. 6 press conference. “They’ve done some tremendous things over the years, and when you do tremendous things, you’re able to recruit tremendous players… They’re deep, strong, fast and big.
