UTEP working to fix run defense

There is no magic dust in Week 12 that's suddenly going to fix UTEP's struggles stopping the run as Rice comes to town.

The Owls are going to try to run on the Miners, they are going to test a group that has been poor for a month and a half and UTEP is going to have to get better instantly to have a chance at ending their 10-game losing streak.

"It's going to be big for us this week, because Rice obviously will take advantage of your run game," coach Dana Dimel said.
