  • Well, UTEP historically likes to spot their opponents a head start. We showed them we can move the ball too.

    Five year contract. That keeps our her teams from stealing him.

  • I saw a lot of heart from the Miners. They really wanted this win. Congrats to them and may they continue on the winning path.

    One thing that I saw from Walden was when Skylar threw the interception which led to an Fiu TD, Walden took him aside and talked to him. He didn't just slap him on the rump and tell him good job.

    I think that after every game the coaches should have film of the game and show where mistakes were made and how to fix them. Penalties could be part of that session, like unnecessary holding where a good run is brought back because of a block in the back or a holding call where it wasn't even in the field of play. Instead of making it a "ha, ha, here's where you screwed up" session, this could be a way of showing them that they really screwed up without shaming them. Before long, the players will rue that "learning session" because it will highlight how badly they screwed up. Coaches should show them how not thinking on the field also screws up a good play, like when that lineman went for the knees and negated a two point after TD. Or how Skylar threw that interception where Fiu was able to take advantage and score a TD. "Little" things like that. jmho

    Ps, I really enjoyed watching that game.

    If they aren't doing this, they're not coaches, just cheerleaders.  Or abusive -- it can go that way too.

    Sounds like they finally put a decent game together.  OTOH, I can't help but think that basically we just proved the bottom half of CUSA is essentially FCS

  • I really enjoyed watching the coaches and players have so much fun after the win. They made many big plays to seal the win. I loved the enthusiasm and energy on display.

    I did too. The announcers were caught up in the jubilee also and had big smiles on their faces and saying nice things. I love watching the Miners on week day games along with the other Cusa teams.
