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.
UTEP earned a 27-14 victory at Florida International behind backup quarterback Cade McConnell’s first start ahead of their matchup next week against NM State.
