UTEP's Nov. 20 opponent, UAB, postpones game for COVID
UTEP just lost another football game off its schedule.
UAB, dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, will not travel to Midland for a Nov. 20 game against the Miners, which is now officially cancelled. Assuming UTEP plays UTSA Saturday, which is still on, the UAB game will be the fourth postponement or cancellation in a six-week period.
UAB also postponed its Saturday game with North Texas because of positive COVID-19 tests and contact-tracing quarantines, though that game could be made up.
Both of UTEP's make-up dates, Dec. 4 against Southern Miss and Dec. 12 against North Texas, are already filled. Those games are scheduled for the Sun Bowl, with presumably Midland being the alternate site.
