For three quarters and some change, it was UTEP’s most encouraging performance in three weeks.
But again, the same penalty issues, and inability to finish those ever-so-golden red zone worthy drives with six points buried UTEP in a 28-7 loss to LA Tech.
The Miners fall to 1-4 on the season, and 0-2 in conference play, and have dropped their fourth straight game.
After a shaky start defensively, UTEP played their three best defensive quarters of football this season, but two fourth quarter scores sealed the Miners hope of making things interesting in the final quarter.
