Program Record Comeback Propels UTSA to 34-31 Victory Over UTEP

The UTEP Miners (5-7, 3-5 CUSA) were 17-point underdogs coming into this game. The UTSA Roadrunners (10-2, 8-0 CUSA) only gave up 7 points in the last two games and were playing at home in the final game for departing seniors.

And yet, it took until the final 3 seconds for UTSA to take the lead on a Jared Sackett field goal and steal victory from the visiting Miners. In between that field goal and the opening kickoff fans were treated to a wild and exhilarating regular season finale that saw UTEP jump out to a 24-0 lead and put on an offensive clinic before UTSA mounted its largest deficit comeback in program history to secure a perfect conference record.
