For the first time since 2010, the Miners are 3-1 to start a season. That season the Miners went on to finish 6-7 with a loss to Brigham Young University in the New Mexico Bowl.
Sophomore quarterback Gavin Hardison started out on the first drive with a 38–yard completion to junior wide receiver Justin Garret which set up a 51–yard field goal attempt by junior Gavin Baechle that missed.
