Some Struggles in Game 1 for UTEP

UTEP knew they were going to be in for a test in the first game, and all they did was fail it. UTEP went on the road to face off against Utah State, and they ended up losing 28-16. At halftime, they were down 20-10, and in the second half the offense couldn’t make any progress. The defense wasn’t all that awful it was the offense, especially in the second half, that really let them down. The defense did allow quarterback Bryson Barnes to throw for 233 yards and a touchdown. 

For UTEP, they were led by Malachi Nelson and he completed 22 of his 34 passes for 178 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Kenny Odom finished with nine carries for 97 yards and a touchdown. The running game wasn’t good enough, and Kam Thomas was the top guy, but he only put up 36 yards. 

UT Martin Fell Short

UT Martin fell short in the first game, and they ended up getting knocked off by Oklahoma State. At the end of the first quarter, they were only down seven points, but they didn’t score any more points the rest of the game and ended up losing 27-7. As a tea,m they allowed Oklahoma State to put up 359 yards while they only put up 225 yards. Jase Bauer was under and he needs to be more explosive. He completed 9 of his 16 passes for 70 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He did rush for 37 yards. The top rusher was Josh Gentry and he finished with 16 carries for 51 yards. In this game, they can’t score seven points and expect to have any chance to come away with a victory. 

UT Martin vs UTEP Prediction

UT Martin had a major issue with their offense and their lack of scoring is going to be the difference here. Jase Bauer is not the answer under center, and he’s going to have some major struggles in this game. UTEP might have lost their first game, but don’t let that fool you, they are the offense was a whole lot more talent. Nelson is going to have a strong game under center, and that is going to be enough for UTEP to come out on top. Back UTEP to win this game and cover the spread.
