At least we're pulling away....

UTEP just missed a short field goal with about 2:30 left in the game. Looks like LaTech will escape with a narrow 17-15 victory.

La Tech had a defensive end thrown out for targeting. I think he may be out for the first half next week. A game like this one should garner our full attention, plus if we are not fully engaged with a championship spot on the line we don't deserve to be there. It going to be a heckuva game next week.

Great win and they just need to finish games and they did today...

The game will be huge and I like our chances. Like everyone else I was disgusted with the way the first two and a half quarters went. But I think the way Southern Miss ended it with a 35-0 run restored confidence in how this team would perform. If you asked me would I rather have a game like this going into next week, or the 17-15 game where LaTech is relieved to escape with a win.....I'd take our game. We ended our game with solid momentum, LaTech didn't.

A humbling experience but the team overcame adversity and goes into next week with momentum!

Help me out IF LA Tech would have lost would we have been the out right West Champ regardless of outcome next week? We just left the game glad we won but my nerves are worked up ODU played hard.

I don't even want to consider Louisiana Tech winning next week. But as a hypothetical, had they lost today but won next week LaTech would be the champs. We'd both have 2 conference losses, but by winning head to head against us they would be considered the West champions.
