Well, keep chucking it down the field and eventually they connect. 58 yd TD - tie game.

It was just a matter of time.

Our safeties are beat EVERY time. UTEP keeps trying and finally converts. TD.
Can we really not get more speed* at safety???
* or cover skill???

We've done a fair job of covering deep tonight... until now. UTEP tried and tried.. And hits.
They'll try it all night.

Something about blind pigs and acorns... heave the ball downfield long enough and some wide open receiver or other will be under it eventually.

It looked like their receiver ran away from our safety. Accelerated completely out of reach.

Their QB is 3/8 for 92 yards and a TD.

Timeout after a kickoff?!?!?!

Southern Miss QB should be licking his chops....

Yup, it was Ibe on coverage. Completely on island. No safety help

I continue to laugh at the fact that many said this team and last year's team is/was better than the 2013 team.

Safety help? We were in quarter/quarter/halves and the safety got dusted.

Had to get that plug in. Nate is a friend and a great guy. Still loves Rice.

Yes, he is a great guy.

Antarious - we have two timeouts left

Deep ball in between the two receivers, not the way it was drawn up

Jackson apparent trying the same tactic. Time out was to set up a random throw to some open turf somewhere.

I laugh too at the scathing indictment of our head coach quality that this comment makes.

And yes, 2013 was better. 2015 Should have been better.

How? How does this happen?

Lucky break for UTEP. Dropped punt bounces backwards to one of their players.
