UTEP closed out the season in a 39-7 loss to the Southern Miss Golden Eagles (6-5, 5-3 C-USA) on ‘Senior Day’ for the Miners (1-11, 1-7 C-USA) at the Sun Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 24, in front of fans in attendance.
“It was a game where we went into the ballgame with the direct focus of eliminating turnovers, said head coach Dana DimeI. “I really felt like our defense matched up well against these guys, could hold their own and put it in bad situations early in the ballgame. But, you know, again, we had too many costly turnovers, three more interceptions in the game, and then the fumble there to start the second half.
