Saturday’s football game between UTEP and Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles has been canceled due to the opposing team’s rise in COVID-19 cases.
“While we are disappointed that we won’t be able to play this weekend, the health and safety of everyone involved is always the top priority,” UTEP Director of Athletics Jim Senter said in a morning news release. “ “We wish everyone at Southern Miss a quick recovery and hope to reschedule this game for later in the season in consultation with Conference USA.”
This is the second time this season that Southern Miss has had a football game canceled due to COVID-19 concerns.
