**** Week 9: UTEP (6-1) @ FAU (4-3) ***
There are now TWO UTSA @ UTEP threads, and it is not even this weekend. So, it is a high time to create the current week's game thread.

It has to be an intriguing game. UTEP is much better than they were the last 3 or more years. Their record is a pretty good indication of that. On the other hand, FAU has won 11 home games in a row.

Coming off a bye week and looking ahead to UTSA seems like a recipe for disaster. Then again, that might just be the 40 years of football PTSD talking, and the team has surprised me so far.

The home game winning streak just has to end sooner or later. I vote for sooner.

But as a long suffering Miner fan, my confidence is a bit low.

Win or lose you guys have something to be proud of. UTEP and UTSA have been enjoyable teams to watch this year. No need to have PTSD, UTEP is a great team.

These type of games usually result in a blow out for us. If our defense is truly top 10 in the nation then we might have a better chance than the odds are giving us. I don't expect to win but we'll see if play calling Dimel has a few tricks up his sleeves he hasn't shown us yet.

It's the kind of a game where FAU has no right to start slowly, which has been a problem most games this season.

Tough crossovers this year but have to split them to have a shot at our division. Let's hope we get it done

I think it will be competitive for a while... at least.

Who is going to make it ugly ? I think either team can win. UTEP has fattened up on bad teams but can compete. We've lost to 3 good teams

I hope FAU'S team thinks it's going to be this easy. Would be a pleasant surprise for them.

Who from Florida Atlantic said it would be easy ? I'm guessing you are looking at posts from other teams fans

That said, if utep needs message board motivation then that is trouble for them

I hope that being left behind is enough motivation and they play with a chip on their shoulder against every team left on their schedule. All AAC bound.

FAU cannot go thinking this game will be easy.
UTEP is doing great and has improved tremendously.

I don't think they will. UTEP can win and will earn it if they do

We've lost to 3 good teams. It's still 3 losses and one is a conference loss. Florida Atlantic will want this too

I don't believe any FAU fans believe this game will be easy. I was a bit shocked at the opening line. I think we should win but only if we play a solid game.

According to Twitter, UTEP is something like 0-33-1 on the East Coast.

So ... that is working against them. Would be neat if they could finally break that streak, though. That would be a definite indication of turning a corner- surmounting something that has traditionally stood in their way
