UTEP's climactic scrimmage at Camp Ruidoso was never going to resolve the quarterback battle between Ryan Metz and Kai Locksley, but the Miners got what they wanted from it: Both looked good facing their first live action of the fall.
Metz engineered the only two touchdown drives on a day when the defense got the better of play, throwing a 50-yard catch-and-run touchdown to Terry Juniel, and he finished 2-for-4 for 58 yards. Locksley was 5-for-7 for 48 yards and drove them to the goal line once in a possession that ended in a stand by the defense.
