Rout 66: Army pounds UTEP

Kristopher Rivera/El Paso Times

Four years ago, Sean Kugler took over the UTEP football program promising to bring a tough, smart, disciplined, pounding team to the Sun Bowl.

That team arrived Saturday. It was wearing the visiting white and gold of Army, and in front of a crowd of 37,893, the Golden Knights won 66-14 while showing off the type of team UTEP is striving to build.

It was the most points Army had scored against an FBS/Division I-A team since 1944 when its alum Dwight Eisenhower was running the European Theater of Operations in World War II.
