At 0-9 it is getting harder to find bright spots for UTEP. Here are moments that shouldn't get loss in the gloom of another loss.
Picks up
With Middle Tennessee facing a third-and-12 from the UTEP 27 early in the fourth quarter, Nik Needham got his first interception of the year and second of his career when he dove to grab a ball in the end zone.
Fields of green
On third-and-1 from the Blue Riader 48 early in the third quarter and UTEP trying to end an 11-quarter streak of not scoring offensively in the second half, Josh Fields ripped off a 27-yard run that was UTEP's second longest of the season and the longest since Walter Dawn had a 29-yarder in the opener against Oklahoma.
