Duke Keith — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 01:23:16 +0000

It looked like popcorn. Gold and white helmets bouncing on the sidelines, a fresh batch being popped every few minutes.

Duke Keith — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:31:14 +0000

It was a first, that's for sure. After having to wait over 40 minutes for Utah at last year's Sheriff's Posse Dinner, Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson wasn't about to accept another Pac-12 diss to start his second straight Hyundai Sun Bowl experience.

It has been the same old song for UTEP all season long, they played a solid game defensively, but continue to have no offensive rhythm at all.

UTEP's season opener against the No.4 ranked Oklahoma Sooners was the talk of the town. Having such a highly ranked team to kickoff the season should have sold out way before the Miners stepped onto the field. Regardless of the predictions, it was like a New Year's bowl game in September and a chance to see a Big XII powerhouse in the our house.
