Against Boise State last week, UNM senior quarterback Miles Kendrick was sacked six times and struggled while under pressure for most of the game.
The Lobos gained just 48 yards on offense through three scoreless quarters.
New Mexico (1-1) spent this past week figuring out ways to attack UTEP (1-2) on Saturday at University Stadium in the Lobos’ third consecutive home game to begin the 2022 season.
UTEP is coming off its first win, a 20-13 victory over New Mexico State at the Sun Bowl.
“There was a little bit of frustration,” Kendrick said about the struggles in the 31-14 loss to Boise State last week.
