The UTEP football team heads into its Saturday Sun Bowl game against Middle Tennessee riding the emotions of the thrilling, last-play 24-21 win against Florida Atlantic, but as it turns out, it didn't need to be as thrilling.
Coach Dana Dimel's big reveal at his weekly press conference to kick off Middle Tennessee week was that he received a call from the Conference USA director of officials Mike Defee saying the wild blocked extra point play never should have been retried and the Miners should have gone into the last 4:36 with a 21-20 lead.
