UTEP eager to get back on the field against Florida Atlantic

UTEP football coach Dana Dimel closed his shortest Monday press conference of the year with the simple summation: "Not much to talk about. It's time to play."

That's the attitude around the Miners after their first bye week that followed seven consecutive games, a bye week leading into the home game against Florida Atlantic that Dimel said was much needed.

"I'm excited about the last five weeks," Dimel said. "It's set up well for us, we just need to play good home football like we've done the last three seasons. I like the way the schedule is laid out, we just need to take advantage of it.
