Rice slips past UTEP to run Miners' losing streak to 11

The UTEP football team has been good at times this year in hanging close and keeping themselves in football games.

The Miners aren't as good at actually winning games, and that was the formula in a 30-16 loss to Rice to end their 1-11 season and run the losing streak to 11 games.

Kai Locksley was injured late in the first half and gave way to Gavin Hardison, who moved the Miners but not into the end zone.
