In what looked to be the end of a losing streak that has been attached to the UTEP Miner football team for over a year now, turned out to end with a heartbreaking 27-20 loss against the New Mexico State Aggies.
“Way too many mistakes for us tonight and we have to eliminate unforced errors” head coach Dana Dimel said.
This is UTEP’s (0-4) second year in a row losing to the Aggies(1-4).
Prior to Saturday’s loss, the Miners had an eight-game win streak against NMSU.
Turnovers really changed the landscape of the game for the Miners starting with a blocked punt in the Miner’s first drive of the game, that was returned for a touchdown by NMSU junior wide receiver Izaiah Lottie.
