UTEP looks to rebound against Southern Miss after narrow loss to Louisiana Tech

There is a new feeling around the UTEP football team as it prepares to host Southern Miss on Saturday.

In the aftermath of a 21-17 loss to Louisiana Tech, where the Miners gave themselves a chance to beat one of the best teams in their conference, coach Dana Dimel wasn't going to declare a moral victory.

"I'm angry," he said at his weekly news conference to kick off Southern Miss week. "I'm angry we lost to Louisiana Tech. I'm not excited we lost by four points; I'm angry we didn't win by two touchdowns. That's where we are right now.
