UTEP travels to Charlotte on Saturday for a 10 a.m. kickoff, its earliest start of the season.
The game will be broadcast on the subscription site ESPN+ and will also be aired on the radio at 600 ESPN El Paso.
This is the second meeting between the schools — last year's game in the Sun Bowl was the first — and obviously the first-ever time UTEP has played at Charlotte.
UTEP Miners live updates:
15 minutes to kickoff: UTEP is 0-24-1 in the Eastern time zone. The closest they've come, in recent years at least, was in 2016 when they led 31-20 with five minutes to go but lost 35-31.
