UTEP ends regular season at home Saturday against Middle Tennessee

UTEP (6-5, 4-3 Conference USA) will end its regular season on Saturday when they host Middle Tennessee (6-5, 5-2 C-USA) on Senior Night in the Sun Bowl.

Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. with 23 seniors being honored before the game.

The Miners are looking to rebound from last week’s 31-13 loss at Rice after gaining bowl eligibility with a win over North Texas in the Sun Bowl on Nov. 15.

A win would guarantee a winning season for the first time since the 2005 campaign when the team finished 8-4.
