The longest active losing streak in college football was extended to 17 games this past weekend when the UTEP football team lost to the UTSA Roadrunners 24-21 at the Alamodome.
The Miners (0-5, 0-1) are desperate for a win as they return home for homecoming night as they face the defending C-USA West Division Champions, North Texas Mean Green. North Texas (4-1, 0-1) is coming off their first loss of the season against Louisiana Tech 29-27, on Sept. 29.
Miners can’t put their defense in bad situations
Last week against UTSA, UTEP’s Terry Juniel fumbled a punt return on their own seven, one play later UTSA tied the game.
