  • FIU 26 – UTEP 20

Miners prepared all week to stop the FIU pass game, but Panthers surprise UTEP on the ground for big plays. Expect three, 70-plus yard drives by FIU, which will result in touchdowns. Miners trail early and play catch-up the entire game. Aaron Jones gets his yards, but Zack Greenlee cannot get passing game going.
