That's funny, I was just about to post the same thing. Didn't play this game, but it's not at all uncommon for a Mike Price led team to not show up. That falls on the coach's shoulders. I quit betting UTEP altogether awhile back for that reason alone.
I may have to look at NM in the 2h. One good thing about games like this is that it becomes obvious very early in the game when one of the teams just didn't show up mentally/physically, etc. Then it becomes not so much a matter of having the talent to come back, but somehow managing to get yourself refocused mentally and emotionally. It seems like that rarely happens.
The opening drive was dropped pass, dropped pass, fumble on a sack. That is a massive momentum swing. The NM annoucers were saying the UTEP has more fans there than NM, so maybe they can make it happen in the 2h.
