UTEP football head coach Dana Dimel talks about the Miners coming game against the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville. El Paso Times
The UTEP football team's ultimate goal is winning each week, but as the Miners take the nation's longest losing streak on the road to play Tennessee, every precedent says the Miners have no chance. (They are 0-21-1 all-time in the Eastern time zone.)
However, success can be measured in other ways this trip.
The Miners are 30-point underdogs in Knoxville this week, but UTEP will have games later this year that fall into the "winnable" category.
