The UTEP football team's struggle to get on the field took another blow, as Florida International announced it would not be able to play the Miners on Saturday.
This is the third time an opponent has postponed a game against UTEP in the last four weeks and this game will be the least likely to be rescheduled under Conference USA's stated goal of prioritizing division games for the two weeks in December set aside for makeup games.
"In an abundance of caution, due to the number of healthy scholarship football student-athletes available for this game, and to ensure a sufficient number moving forward, we regret to announce that we will not be playing the football game this weekend," FIU said in a statement.
