UTEP -6.5....Iv'e been waiting for this game and it set up perfect for this weekend. The Miners come into this game off a loss in which they blew a 27-14 lead on the road at Western Kentucky last week in a game they should have won very easily...leading 27-21 in the 4th quarter they were going in to take a two touchdown lead , but instead gave up a 90 yard pick six....the game was virtually over at that point as they laid down the last 10 minutes...North Texas got a win at home vs. Florida Atlantic which is great because it gave us a soft line for this weekend...The whole key to this game is the North Texas offense vs. the UTEP defense...UTEP is ranked 70nd in the nation in rushing defense, however in the last 3 games..(they held W KY to 35 yards on 21 carries, Southern Miss to 97 yards on 27 carries and UTSA to 38 yards on 26 carries) They have clearly gotten stronger against the rush over this span...North Texas can only run the ball, they have no passing game, they are 111th in the nation in passing.The other stats to support this play are the Home / Away advantage the Miners have in this match up...North Texas is 0-4 on the road this year losing by 111 points an average of 28 points per game..meanwhile the Miners are 3-1 at home this season , winning by an average of 10.5 points per game. The road woes continues for The Mean Green....UTEP 31-13 ...2014 COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR
