Ryan Metz pretty much solidified himself as THE starter (health wiling)
For the first time this season, UTEP showed glimpses of a respectable passing game against a team not named NMSU.
Ryan Metz allowed his pass catchers to make plays by not bailing out of the pocket, and delivered hard, catch-able fastballs among his 19 completions which was a season high for a UTEP quarterback.
Metz had chunk plays of 24, 32, 42, and 29 with the first two coming on first down play calls. He also showed some explosive chemistry with his former Andress teammate Eddie Sinegal.
