Reaching a bowl game is a relative possibility this season
, but the Miners are going to have to earn it. Road conference games against Houston and Tulsa offer a stern challenge. Houston will try to avenge a 17 point loss. Arkansas shows up on the schedule this season in November and the Razorbacks are ranked in the Top 15 by many preseason publications. I believe the offense is going to score points in bunches once again, but the defense is going to give them up just as easily. A 6-6 record is in store for UTEP.
