It did not take much for UTEP head coach Sean Kugler to forget about the 41-7 loss against Texas. In fact, Kugler said immediately following the loss to the Longhorns, “there’s not long to dwell on this game—about five minutes—then our focus immediately switches to Army.”
This statement was not surprising since Kugler and the squad have had the Sept. 17 game against Army marked on their calendars for a while now. Due to Fort Bliss and Army’s deep fan base comprised of soldiers and veterans, the Sun Bowl will be packed with a sea of divided fans.
