Looking ahead to MT and UTEP
EL PASO, Texas – Two teams coming off emotional wins will meet in El Paso, Texas on Saturday.
Middle Tennessee (6-3, 5-1) and UTEP (1-8, 1-4) may look different in the win-loss column, but they're both riding a similar high.
The Blue Raiders beat their biggest rival WKU in 29-10 fashion on Friday night to snap a three-game skid in the series, and the next day the Miners scored their first win of 2018 against Rice 34-26, ending a 20-game losing streak that was the longest in the nation.
The Conference USA title race may not be on UTEP's radar any longer, but MT still has plenty to play for with one more win than FIU (6-3, 4-1), which beat Middle Tennessee on Oct. 13.
