UTEP earned a 27-14 victory at Florida International behind backup quarterback Cade McConnell’s first start ahead of their matchup next week against NM State.

UTEP football secured a dominant win against Florida International Saturday afternoon (40-6), including a 38-0 mark at halftime, to improve to 5-7 (3-4 C-USA) and keep their bowl eligibility hopes alive.

For the Miners, there is still uncertainty on who will take the reigns at the quarterback position.

Following a series sweep at UAB, the Miners will hope to bounce back and get some confidence as they host the bottom team in the C-USA East Division in Florida International.

Earlier on Wednesday, Conference USA confirmed that a pair of UTEP football games will be rescheduled to play during the first two weeks of December.

Citing the lack of healthy scholarship football players, Florida International elected to cancel their matchup Saturday against UTEP.

The Miners (1-5, 0-3 C-USA) will be playing host to one of C-USA's best in LA Tech (6-1, 3-0 C-USA) on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Sun Bowl.

The Miners (1-5, 0-2 C-USA) fell to Florida International 32-17 for their fifth straight loss, but the defense took a major step forward following their uninspiring performance against UTSA two weeks ago.

It was another all-too-familiar game for the disgruntled Miners, as they fell to Florida International 32-17 for their fifth straight loss.

From falling big on the road to underperforming at home, it's been a tough four-game stretch for the Miners (1-4) as they are coming off their second bye week of the season.
