Miners return to face Old Dominion

It was seven weeks ago that the Miners were praying for their next win.

It had been four weeks since the squad lost 34-7 to Southern Mississippi and were desperate for a win to turn their season around.

Seven weeks later, their prayers were answered in the Alamodome at UTSA.

After a grueling battle against the Roadrunners, the Miners scraped away with a magnificent win in the fifth overtime, 52-49. It was quarterback Ryan Metz who scrambled outside the pocket and threw a dart to Warren Redix for a six-yard game-winning touchdown.

The game was the longest overtime game in Conference USA history, and with the victory the Miners snapped their haunting five-game losing streak.
