Skip to main content
What, when, where
UTEP hosts Louisiana Tech in the Sun Bowl at 6 p.m. Saturday.
Tickets, and there will be plenty available, are at $12 and $40. The game will be televised on ESPN+.
Louisiana Tech defeated Southern Miss 45-30 at Joe Aillet Stadium in Ruston, La. on Oct. 19.How is UTEP supposed to do?
As usual, not well. The Miners are 18.5-point underdogs. Combined with an over-under of 53.5, they are supposed to lose 36-18.
What is the challenge for UTEP?
The Miners rank next-to-last nationally in third-down offense and third-down defense, so that has to get better. In general, the offense must improve, as it has been poor throughout this five-game losing streak.
