The task gets much taller for the 1-0 UTEP football team this week, and coach Dana Dimel thinks that's a good thing.
The Miners travel to Austin as a six-touchdown underdog to Texas and what Dimel sees is a chance to improve.
"It's going to be a really, really tough test for us," Dimel said. "They have 330-pound-plus, 340-pound-plus defensive linemen. That's one of the strengths of their team right now is how big and wide and strong and athletic they are up front.
"It's going to be a huge test for us this weekend and I think it will make us better.
