  • So far I've been right. The secondary gave the Lobos an easy TD.

    I'm surprised that the Miners stopped the Lobos on fourth down. I'm hoping this gives the Miners momentum.

    For those out of towners it's Lobos 7 Miners Zilch.

  • UTEP intercepts but get nothing. Field goal try of 47 yards is no good. Lobos start at around 25 yard line.

    Good chance for points and we get nothing. shucks.

  • Who would have thought that it would be a stifling defense that would be the real difference.  Fun to watch.  Seems to me that a new OC and new DC may have helped.

  •  When was the last time we made the better half time adjustments? Dare I say UTEP outcoached them?

  • We hung on by our fingertips and won.  Agree that we made better halftime adjustments.

    Really wish Dimel wouldn't take his foot off the gas when we are up 4.  Every time he goes super conservative our offense shuts down completely.  The defenses know what to expect and we go 3 and out.  He does this in the red zone a lot too.

    Basically Hardison has a cannon for an arm, but the ball is all over the place both long and short balls.  Cowing and Garrett are just athletic enough to make the plays anyway.  The other WR aren't.

    D looked pretty good except at first.  I think the DC is a keeper.

    Looking ahead, there is still a path to 6 wins but it's a narrow one.  We have to beat ODU and Rice and one other team.  It could be So Miss, or UNT is looking weak.

    I struggle with my attitude about Dimel.  I can see the improvements, but I feel like offensively it's like we are driving a car and 3/4 of the time Dimel has pulled half the spark plugs.  Our offense could be much better and more dominant than it is, and that is due to the HC.
