The 98th Battle of I-10 for the Silver Spade and Brass Spittoon between UTEP and New Mexico State will kick off the 2021 football season on Saturday, Aug. 28 at Aggie Memorial Stadium.
UTEP football kicked off their fall camp Sunday morning, despite two additional positive COVID-19 cases after four positive last week, in anticipation for an accelerated three-week practice schedule prior to the start of the season.
As important as the quarterback position is to the offense, the defensive line might be the most significant part of the defense this year for the UTEP football team.
UTEP's roller coaster of a season took a complete downhill spike last weekend after getting blown out by Western Kentucky (40-16), who hadn't won a conference game since last season.
