The Miners fell to the University of New Mexico Saturday night thanks to a struggling offense. While the defense played well and kept UTEP in the game, the Miner’s offense looked sluggish and out of sync. In the start of the first quarter, the Miners defense was able to start strong, forcing a three and out and making the Lobos punt on the first drive. The Miners offense on the first series moved the ball slightly with junior quarterback Gavin Hardison connecting to senior tight end Walter Dawn Jr. on back-to-back plays. However, the offense stalled out and the Miners were forced to punt.
