College Football

Before we say goodbye to one of the strangest, most eventful (or event-less) years we've had to experience, let's take some time to reflect back on what happened in sports during 2020.

Following the 2020 campaign, UTEP football head coach Dana Dimel announced the firings of his two top assistants in offensive coordinator Mike Canales and defensive coordinator Mike Cox.

With 33 college football bowl games still scheduled, many of them could feature below average teams as schools like Boston College opt out of the postseason.

As the football season draws to a close, the UTEP football team (3-4, 0-3 C-USA) will face North Texas on the road on Friday, Dec. 11, instead of finishing the season at the Sun Bowl.

UTEP defensive backs Dennis Barnes, Broderick Harrell and Dy'vonne Inyang, have each entered the NCAA transfer portal, as reported by 247 Sports on Friday.

The C-USA football season has been filled with postponements and cancelations and the league has only themselves to blame for their lack of COVID guidelines.

Despite El Paso's economic impact from the Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl, the decision to call off the game is the right one.

On Monday, Jim Senter revealed that on the second round of testing, all of those players that tested positive in Houston tested negative in El Paso.

The Sun Bowl—tied for the second-longest running bowl game behind the Rose Bowl—has been canceled, according to Brett McMurphy of Stadium.

Following the cancelation of the Rice game due to positive cases of COVID-19 within the program, UTEP football has temporarily suspended all football team activities, Director of Athletics Jim Senter announced Sunday.
