Southern Utah, 9/7, 7 pm, Sun Bowl
UTEP 31
SUU 21

I saw a team that came to play NE and found out NE is on a different level. That is what it?s about. He and his offense was dandy against AP competition but even against Cusa teams it will not be dazzling people blind. As Mike Price said, ?It?s the Jessies and Joes, not the x?s and o?s.?  He also said that the spread and hurry up offense is great if it is working but if it isn?t then you are hanging the defense out to be killed.
The offense the past dozen years was to save the defense by holding on to the ball. Winning top.

I am broken hearted to say that Mike Price had us getting the talent to beat 12 ranked Houston in a tough cusa. Since then, Kugler, Dimel and UTEP leadership have dropped us down to the bottom of the list with the rest of the teams in this conference. The slightest talent moves up as fast as they can. UTEP is perfectly willing to do what they have done for ever. Field a team. Just put a team on the field. Success is ok-if it happens. But it doesn?t really matter.  Mediocrity is the standard they aspire to. Winning half of your games gets you a trophy and a new contract for five more years of 1 and 2 win seasons. We are right on track. We will maybe win six games against the teams in cusa and lower level teams. They will feel great and maybe even give him an extension so nobody will steal him. lol. Like Kugler and Dimel. People were wanting to steal top winning losers.
I will be hoping for the best but after forty years of UTEP I understand that the basic thing in rooting for a team is that they will win or get better enough to win. UTEP is not playing the same way. Winning is simply something that is possible but not the point. They truly are the embodiment of the saying it isn?t if you won or lost. It?s how you played the game in those losses.

Well, if UTEP can?t handle SUU then our guys are truly in for a loooong season.

SUU, who is known for its offense, had about 150 yards of total offense vs a ranked Utah team and lost 49-0.

UTEP only managed a little over 200 yards vs Nebraska.

So both sucked on offense in their opener.

UTEP 31 SUU 17

We'll handle SUU.   The D looked like it belonged on the field.  Overmatched, but at least like an FBS team.  The O will succeed in putting up a bunch of points.   Everyone will get excited and think we're going to beat Liberty the following week.

38-17

The wifey was telling me that the SUU coach was badmouthing the Utep coach and city or school. Anyone hear about that?

I found it, it's on X. No respect I tell you, we get no respect. Rodney Dangerfield

I hope that we can win and if we can I hope we run up the score on them.

Yeah, he was saying El Paso and Juarez are beautiful cities. But he was saying it with the colonias to be seen from a half empty Sun Bowl.

We, UTEP's biggest fans have no respect for the program.  How can we expect others to?  That said I expect us to run up the score.  If we don't, it's yet another long season.

Some FCS school in Utah nobody has heard of: 12
UTEP: 48
