The UTEP Miners played a close first half Saturday against the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners but fell apart in the second half in a 52-21 rout on the road.
Defensively the Miners could not produce an answer to the Roadrunners as UTSA racked up 600 yards total offense and were only forced to punt the ball one time all day.
“It got away from us right there at the end of the first half,” UTEP coach Dana Dimel said of two quick UTSA scores in the final 1:35 of the first half that set the tone.
