UTEP Outlasts UTSA 52-49 in Five Overtime Thriller
Aaron Jones and Walter Dawn each finished with three touchdowns apiece, and the Miners and Roadrunners combined for 101 total points as UTEP escaped with a 52-49 victory Saturday night.
Following a Miner three and out to start the game, UTSA would put together a 13 play 70 yard drive to go up 7-0 midway through the first quarter. Another three and out would give the ball right back to the Runners and just a minute later Dalton Sturm would find Kerry Thomas Jr. for a 53 strike to go up 14-0.
UTEP would settle in on their third drive, needing just 6 plays and 2:54 to find paydirt as Aaron Jones would find the end zone for the first time on the night on a scamper from 41 out.
