Getting a game against Army is something of a dream for the UTEP football program as a whole.

It's a nightmare for the defense.

In an age of spread offenses, five-receiver sets and high-flying passing teams, Army is the throwback to an era now a half-century old. The line up with three backs and run, run, run the football.

This is the week the Miners defense changes everything it does, when four games of experience is set aside for something they'll do this once.
