A single drop of water eventually becomes a raging waterfall.
It began with a drop, a mere trickle Saturday night in Las Cruces. It was 7-7 after one quarter. But then drop after drop became a 21-7 New Mexico State halftime lead and, ultimately, it ended in a 41-14 New Mexico State waterfall win over UTEP.
Unfortunately, Saturday night might just be a microcosm of this UTEP football season.
The Miners have had their way with the Aggies for eight straight seasons. But this September Saturday night was UTEP's worst nightmare — being submerged by the rival Aggies in the middle of a noisy sea of crimson.
