Update: Miners beat FAU 24-21 with a walk-off Gavin Baechle field goal

EL PASO, Texas -- UTEP move to 4-4 on the season with a 24-21 win over FAU Saturday.

The Miners trailed FAU 7-6 at halftime and were down 14-6 in the third quarter. The Miners went into the 4th tied at 14 after a Gavin Hardison keeper followed by a 2-point conversion.

They then took the lead off a Hardison pass to Ysleta grad Rey Flores. The Owls tied things up on a N'Kosi Perry throw to Austin Evans for a 17-yard touchdown with 4.39 left on the clock.

The Miners then put together a game winning drive which lasted 13 plays, took all the time off the clock and went for 65 yards and ended in Gavin Baechle nailing a field goal. That was Baechles third field goal of the day and takes him to 51 career field goals with UTEP which in turn sees him break the all-time field goal record for the Miners.
