A quick rule of football is that when a team does something poorly, it will be attacked in that area until it gets the issue fixed.

As it turns out, a week after getting ripped by Louisiana Tech's short passing game, UTEP faces a team in North Texas that bases around that.

They have an elite quarterback in Mason Fine, the two-time Conference USA offensive player of the year, they've built what they do around him and it so happens they get the Miners a week after Louisiana Tech wrote a book on how to gut UTEP's defense.
