As the UTEP football team prepares for an unknown team in Abilene Christian, the Miners know there is a real opportunity to go 2-1 for the first time since 2011.
For that to happen, they also know they have to play better than they did in the 58-3 mess against Texas where all the bright spots came late with their backups.
With a few days to look back on the game, coach Dana Dimel feels the same. UTEP was always unlikely to beat Texas, but they didn't do anything in the first half to feel good about.
