Facing the strangest hill of adversity imaginable, the UTEP football team went on a season-saving field-goal drive to beat Florida Atlantic 24-21 on Saturday at the Sun Bowl.
The winning 27-yard field goal as time expired came at the end of a 13-play, 65-yard drive and gave Gavin Baechle the school career record with his 51st make and his 15th consecutive.
Shortly before that, FAU tied the game 21-21 on one of the craziest plays in UTEP history.
The Miners blocked a potential game-tying extra point with 4:36 remaining and in the process Praise Amaewhule lost his helmet.
