UTEP's leadership proposed significant upgrades to the Sun Bowl this week, including a request to County officials to add the $99 million "uplift" to the quality-of-life capital improvements that voters could decide upon in November.
As UTEP searches for their next head football coach, here is a list of improvements that the Miners need in order to help land their best possible candidate.
This season's 100th edition of the rivalry series features a UTEP squad (2-5, 1-2 CUSA) needing a win to keep bowl hopes alive and an NM State group (4-3, 2-1 CUSA) that is seeking consecutive bowl seasons.
Despite having the second-worst record in the conference, the UTEP football team is leading CUSA in average attendance through week four of the season.
