The UTEP Miners (3-2) took the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (3-1) to the brink of defeat on the strength of sophomore defensive end Praise Amaewhule and a tremendous overall defensive effort with a 21-17 setback on the road.
“I am proud of our football team,” UTEP head coach Dana Dimel said. “ There is no doubt we were the most talented football team tonight.”
Last season UTEP was dominated by Louisiana Tech at home 42-21.
Amaewhule was a force on the field all night as he set a UTEP single-game record for sacks with 3.
