LAS CRUCES, N.M. — UTEP looked like a promising, talented team playing its first game of the year Saturday night at New Mexico State.
The Aggies looked like a team playing their first real game in two years.
That was good math for the Miners in a 30-3 season-opening victory against their arch-rivals, one where they scored the first 17 points while capitalizing on a host of New Mexico State errors and at least partly overcoming their own raft of their own penalties (140 yards of them).
How it happened
UTEP's opening drive was a good example.
