UTEP at Texas Tech *Game Thread*
When: 1 p.m. Saturday
Where: Jones Stadium in Lubbock
Radio: KOFX 92.3-FM; ESPN Deportes 1650-AM in Spanish
TV: FOX Sports
Stream: TuneIn; UTEP Athletics (listen)
The ' Lines in the Sand' thread show you guys overwhelmingly think we are going to get beat and I don't blame you. But, we do have a fighting chance and I am hopeful.
This game will answer a lot of questions for Miner fans. It's a pleasant 5 1/2 hour drive so there will be some fans making the trip.
#PicksUp, Go Miners!

RE: UTEP at Texas Tech *Game Thread*
Vegas says we'll lose by 20.5 points. Texas Tech will throw the ball, their strength. Arkansas exposed our young secondary last week so it could be a long game.
UTEP will try to control the tempo with slow methodical drives wearing down Tech's defense. Coach Kugler has added some offensive wrinkles including a Wild Cat option. Our passing game should be improved this year as well.
UTEP fans are hoping the Arkansas game was not an indictor of the season's future. It has been suggested that Kugler played a vanilla game to keep some surprises in the bag for Tech.

Well, we ran the wildcat ad nauseum, a reverse from the 10 yard line, and attempted a fake punt. I'm not sure how vanilla that is, but we'll see. I don't think anyone really thought that we were going to hang with Arkansas. But, if we're going in the direction that we think we're going, we need to at least be in this game from wire to wire. It might be in Lubbock, but I don't think Tech is head and shoulders ahead of us at this point.

Yes, we'll see if the wildcat is productive during this game. A lot of fans lost confidence in it quickly. If it doesn't work on Tech the coaches should put it on the shelf except for special occasions. I'm sure Tech is well aware of it now.

Tech scores on a deep pass, 3rd or 4th play of the game.

The scary thing is that it was Dashone Smith (the most experienced guy we have out there right now) that got burned on the TD pass.
