UTEP

This clip kinda looked like the Army/Tech game in the Cotton Bowl 2013.

Wasn't that the game we were "defending against the deep ball" against an option team?

Yes.

Would have been nice for Big Nell to do that against Rice

I find it interesting that the O/U is 57 with our defense, would of expected a higher number in the mid 60's

The line has moved back down now to around 19. When I checked it, I noticed the low over/under. I expected a higher over/under because of our offense. Vegas says 38-19ish.

Last year's UTEP score was close to what Vegas had as the line.

Vegas always misses a bunch by a bunch during the first week or two of college. They don't miss by much now. Example: We were a 4.5 underdog and lost by 4 at Middle.

I seldom wager on a Tech game, but I had +5.5, but placed it early in the week. Man, the preceding sentence is terrible prose.

What do you think? I'm thinking Tech and/or the over, were I a gambler.

This game will be too close for comfort due to continued poor defensive & qb play...

Let's hope its not within 7 points cause if it is - odds are we lose it

CUSA WE SITE-- try to read twice so you get the info

#1 passing Higgins
# 2 passing efficiency Higgins
#2 qb rating Higgins rating-- frigging 155
#1 receiver Trent
#4 Carlos--- imagine what they would do with solid qb, sarcasm
#1 first downs

any chance you can approach this with open mind?? what planet exists where your qb is #1 in conference with incredible numbers and gets attacked on fan site

You really need to go on CUSA site and see what Coach Todd- Rattay- and Holtz have accomplished. I just find it sad that as of today its not about the qb play and you do not get it....... I can not imagine how vicious this will get when he has a bad game ..... no way I am saying he has played perfect but 155 rating is crazy

over under was 57 as of this am .

[johnnylightnin]

Line down to 18.5 at some spotS.

[Dogsince65]

anyone know the status of Carlos and Trent ? was Trent cramping or hurt ?

[Dogsince65]

We will win, only because UTEP is horrible. They will enjoy their best offensive day....FWIW.

Tech 45 UTEP 31

And our Kool-Aid drinkers will be happy, and pronounce "all is well."

do not put me in that group. I am seeing this as a Dykes type team right now-solid offense and weak D. Conference leading offense vs worst team in conference. we average 38 pys game and they at 16. 8 games to go -- all will be well if we can beat WK and SM and not lose to weaker schedule-- we all knew that before season started -that is going to take huge improvement on defense.

as of today UTEP #166 FIU # 178 NT # 150 Marshal # 95 Mass # 123 Rice # we HAVE to win these games. these 2 WK #64 S Miss # 68 will require much improved D. Think you underestimate fellow BBB folks-- can not imagine anyone happy or comfortable when we would have 2-3 record and WK next

[stodgdog]

I think maybe some folks are being overly critical of Higgins because of the DWI incident. My God, if the laws and cops were as overly zealous in my day we would all have a long rap sheet.

[DogsWin]

Looks like there may not be a pre-game prediction from the truly insane UTEP fan "Mr. E" this year. lol

That's because WE CAN'T SCORE!!!!
