Texas El Paso Miners NCAA Football News

Drivers are urged to be cautious of slick streets as a wintry weather moves into the region.

Jeff Moturi closed the book on his great UTEP career with his best receiving day as a Miner, catching seven passes for 179 yards Saturday against Marshall.

Police say a mob in Guatemala burned to death two men and a woman suspected of killing a local bus driver.

Playing its best game since the Houston upset, UTEP defeated Marshall 52-21 in the Miners' season finale Saturday at the Sun Bowl.

The Thundering Herd went to El Paso, hoping to end the regular season on a good note.

Heading into senior day, UTEP football coach Mike Price saluted the members of his first full recruiting class.

On the surface, it looks rather odd - 6-5 Marshall is a one-point underdog against 3-8 Texas-El Paso.

Of the 23 seniors who will play their final game for UTEP on Saturday, perhaps the most unlikely star is punter Greg Hiett.

If football was all about tape measures and stop watches, there's still a chance Steve Riddick would have had his name in the paper at some point this season.

UTEP set some dubious milestones against Rice on Saturday with regards to its turnovers.

Though Donald Buckram won't fondly remember Saturday's loss to Rice, he did set a number of milestones in his 147-yard day, most notably breaking the school single-season rushing record of 1,546 yards by Fred Wendt in 1948.

Rice overcame a 29-17 deficit in the fourth quarter to beat UTEP 30-29. If there's one certainty in this era of UTEP's football, it's that there are always new ways for the Miners to lose.

Charles Ross rushed for three touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter, and Rice took advantage of 6 turnovers in a 30-29 come-from-behind victory over Texas-El Paso on Saturday.

The "College Gameday" crew won't be parked outside of Rice Stadium today. The Owls are 1-9, UTEP is 3-7 and on the national landscape, this game doesn't rate.

As SMU defensive end Taylor Thompson finally sacked UTEP quarterback Trevor Vittatoe on fourth-and-6 from the SMU 14 in the final seconds, ensuring the Mustangs' sixth win of the season, it felt like most of the 21,697 in Ford Stadium exhaled and erupted all at once.

Though UTEP doesn't have a bowl to play for, players and coach Mike Price said there is plenty of motivation for Saturday's game against Rice.

Back in the optimism of August, the recent strong play is what the UTEP football team envisioned from Braxton Amy.

Normally, this is the point where Mike Price would talk about pride, having fun, playing for the seniors, playing for each other.

The race for national rushing leader took an interesting turn when Fresno State's Ryan Matthews suffered a concussion and had just 32 yards Saturday against Nevada.

UTEP's wounded trio of safety Braxton Amy, receiver Anthony Morrow and offensive lineman Cameron Raschke all brought their helmets to practice.
