. . World News – US – UTEP Miners vs. UTSA Roadrunners live at Alamodome Stadium

Three of UTEP Miners’ last four matches have been postponed or canceled due to COVID-related issues with their opponent.

UTSA is canceling deferrals against Rice due to positive COVID tests and quarantine for contact tracing. UTEP has already filled both of its make-up dates with opponents, so if a match with UTSA is postponed, it’s unclear when or if it could be fabricated..

Final: UTSA 52, UTEP 21. My UTSA knee knocked off UTEP 12 after a miner capsized. UTEP dropped to 3-4 with its third straight loss.

11:05 Fourth: UTSA 45, UTEP 21. Eight plays, 59 yards takes 4:24 as UTSA has no resistance.

Third End: UTSA 38, UTEP 21. Not going well for the miners. Here comes UTSA again.

2:54 Third: UTSA 38, UTEP 21. This one is about to expire. UTSA goes 44 yards in nine plays to land on its fourth straight possession. Road Runners now have 21 straight points after being briefly delayed. Midfielder Harris is 21-25, runs 301 yards, has three touchdowns and has two quick touchdowns.

7:17 Third: UTSA 31, UTEP 21. Walter Down with a nice win at a reception but falter. The defense may try to take a last stand because that stance gets away.

8:28 Third: UTSA 31, UTEP 21. Things have not improved. The Roadrunners cover 80 yards in nine plays, encountering only two thirds and a 3, and score in a 15-yard touchdown pass. It looked easy. Three straight touch motors for UTSA.

8:28 Third: UTSA 31, UTEP 21. Things have not improved. The Roadrunners cover 80 yards in nine plays, encountering only two thirds and a 3, and score in a 15-yard touchdown pass. It looked easy. Three straight touch motors for UTSA.

11:31 Third: UTSA 24, UTEP 21. The miners move the ball to the midfield but stop at third. UTEP rounds UTSA pins on the pin 1, but it creeps into the end region for touch. The burden is now on defense miner to change the course of the game.

Half: UTSA 24, UTEP 21. Miners should already feel fortunate to be in this after dropping 345 yards in the first half, including 224 yards in the second quarter.. UTEP gets two turns and a kick-off return from 95 yards, although they left three points on the field with a lost field goal. But the yards are 345-175 which starts with talking about defensive struggles.

Half: UTSA 24, UTEP 21. UTEP trailed 7-10 at 4:00, then the two teams traded touchdowns. UTEP set up their second goal with a 95-yard return from Walter Dunn, but the defense that had been doing well for most of this season was weak in the second quarter..

0:18 second: UTSA 24, UTEP 21. Now there have been four common landings in just over three minutes. UTSA goes 70 yards in three plays, getting a scramble from quarterback Harris from 35 yards out. UTEP defense is in some collapse right now.

0:58 second: UTEP 21, UTSA 17. And UTEP blasts into one Hankins-run arena to end the two-player lead, all set by Walter Dawn’s big comeback. Dawn was back for the Lowe Projectile.

1:35 second: UTSA 17, UTEP 14. Holy smoke. Roadrunners only needed six plays to cover 71 yards, with Apprentice Johnson opting to take the lead. But Walter Don brought the 95-yard kick-off back to UTSA 5.

3:32 second: UTEP 14, UTSA 10. Miners show some flexibility. After Hardison found Garrett in the 1-yard line for a third turn and 6, Calvin Brownholtz punched him. Ten plays, 74 yards takes 4:55 and UTSA burns twice. Clutch drive by miners.

5:57 Second: UTSA 10, UTEP 7. UTEP on the go. Hardison finds Garrett to walk 22 yards to turn a third down, and after abandoning the 22-yard lane, Safety mocks Garrett. First down 14 for UTEP.

8:27 Second: UTSA 10, UTEP 7. So new student Elijah Johnson is now a starting point. UTEP was in desperate need of a quick stop and got it, thanks to two movement kicks from UTSA. Roadunners gained 18 yards in three attacking plays but UTEP got the break it needed.

10:30 second: UTSA 10, UTEP 7. UTEP didn’t need three and got out. The miners went three times. Now one of the four on the third down.

12:44 Second: UTSA 10, UTEP 7. When things go wrong for UTEP, it gets worse along the way. Lowe Punch was kicked out and UTEP was already missing the corners of Robert Corner and Dennis Barnes. So now they lost three of the top four corners. In any case, UTSA skates 80 yards without resistance to regain the lead.

First End: UTEP 7, UTSA 3. Tripe wow. In UTSA’s first play, there was a quick shot over the midfielder’s head and that was brewing throughout the match (UTSA uses a backup position). Stephen Forster is recovering. But UTEP only ran four yards and Bachel missed the chip’s shot, got a second chance after a penalty kick, then wasted 21 yards. Both teams have now missed an easy opportunity to score.

2:18 First: UTEP 7, UTSA 3. Double wow. Six plays after the Miners were supposed to be ahead 10-0, Hardison found Cowing with a 52-yard grenade for the landing. Hardison showed all his arm and Cowing did a tough catch in the coverage. UTEP benefits from Roadrunners’ turnover.

5:03 First: UTSA 3, UTEP 0. Wonderful. UTSA picks up three consecutive third touchdowns, then hits Zachary Franklin for what should have been a 46-yard drop. But he did celebrate very early, mobilizing Doron Lowe to clear the ball moments before it crossed the goal line. Touchback after Brockerick Harrell recovered.

8:10 First: UTSA 3, UTEP 0. UTEP starts on its own after 11 kick-backs and gets the first two touchdowns for a field position, but can’t call in the third and second. Miners install UTSA single-handedly 10, so field position is reversed.

11:49 First: UTSA 3, UTEP 0. A lot going on. UTSA star Sincere McCormick, second in the nation with a score of 921 yards, knocked out. There is no explanation. However, UTSA opens with a 10-play field goal drive and a 43-yard field goal ending with a 50-yard field goal. Justin Prince gets a bag in the third and eighth places to force the field goal.

30 mins until kick-off: UTEP and UTSA prepare for a match that will be broadcast on ESPN TV and 600 ESPN El Paso. UTEP expects everyone to be healthy. This match will take place, although next Friday’s « main match » in Midland against UAB was canceled after the Arab Players’ Union ran into COVID problems..
