The nation’s longest losing streak which is now at 13 carried over into the 2018 season for the UTEP Miners (0-1) Saturday evening in a 30-10 loss against Northern Arizona (1-0).
Missed opportunities for the Miners were apparent as they went scoreless through the first six drives of the game.
Offensively the Miners only averaged 3.4 yards a play as opposed to the Lumberjack’s 5.4 yards. The Miners could not find an offensive rhythm and were plagued with five offensive penalties to go along with two interceptions and one fumble.
“As you start moving forward for progress with a football team it’s all about the unforced errors” head coach Dana Dimel said.
