Two winless programs searching for a win headlines the Battle of I-10 this week, as the Miner football team (0-2) prepares to host their rivals NM State (0-2) on Saturday at the Sun Bowl.
The highly anticipated North Texas opener was met with much disappointment for Miner fans. Players and coaches are determined to prove themselves to the UTEP faithful, but on-field improvements might have to wait until next week's Battle of I-10.
There's no sugarcoating it. Despite a solid start, the UTEP football team disappointed the fan base on Saturday night in front of a packed house, falling to North Texas, 31-13.
