The UTEP Miners improved to (6-1, 3-0 C-USA) after beating the LA Tech Bulldogs Saturday night at the Sun Bowl. This win makes the Miners 3-0 in Conference USA play for only the second time ever and 6-1 for the first time since 2005.
This win also means the Miners are eligible for a bowl game for the first time since 2014. This win against LA Tech ended an eight-game losing streak against the Bulldogs and was their first victory against them in El Paso since 1939.
After LA Tech won the toss and decided to defer, the Miners offense was put to work.
