If things couldn’t get any more enticing for UTEP football, the Miners head into their bye week after a cliff-hanger outing to Mountain West contender, the Colorado State Rams.
The Miners fell to the Rams 27-17.
The start of Saturday’s affair prolonged the concerns of the Miners fan base searching for optimism. As Colorado State would head into the locker rooms at halftime with a two-possession lead, one which they would extend early in the third, putting the Rams up 21-3.
The second half is where the impact of UTEP’s week four matchup is truly highlighted.
