The UTEP Miners coming off a season-opening win over Stephen F. Austin University, will go on the road to play the University of Texas Longhorns Saturday Sept. 12, for the first time since 2016.
Hoping to improve on the result of the last matchup that resulted in a 41-7 win for the Longhorns, the Miners have a monumental task at hand with the Big 12 opponent. This game will be the first time the Miners will play a Tom Herman coached Longhorn team. Herman has a record of 25-15 at Texas with four bowl wins.
Texas finished the 2019 college football season at 8-5 with a victory over Utah in the Alamo Bowl that left the team as 25th ranked in The Associated Press (the AP) year-end poll.
