What to know: Florida International at UTEP football

The UTEP football team will try to keep its bowl hopes alive when it takes on Florida International in a battle of 4-6 teams.

This is a rare afternoon game in the Sun Bowl, as kickoff is set for 2 p.m. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ and aired on 600 ESPN El Paso.

How is UTEP supposed to do?

Surprisingly well. The Miners are a 14-point favorite, and combined with an over-under of 50.5, they are expected to win 32-18.

While FIU has often struggled since joining Conference USA in 2013, the Panthers have won the last three meetings with UTEP to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
