GGSM{UTEP} 58, UCF 13

It is clear that the UTEP Miners do not like wearing the Golden Gopher Shame Mask. Before being saddled with it last week, They lost their final six games in 2007, and then lost 42-17 at Buffalo and lost 42-13 at home to Texas before gaining the Shame Mask with their 34-33 to New Mexico State. But then UCF came to El Paso.

UTEP got the first break midway through the first quarter when they blocked a UCF punt. A 38-yard field goal from Jose Martinez quickly followed. On UCF's next drive, a fumble followed by two laterals allowed UTEP's Josh Ferguson to run 45 yards for a touchdown.

In the second quarter, a UCF interception set up a 14-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Vittatoe to Jamar Hunt. UCF did manage to counter with a touchdown, but UTEP struck back quickly when Vittatoe threw a 74-yard TD pass to Kriss Adams. The second quarter ended with a bang as Jose Martinez booted at 64-yard field goal to give UTEP a 27-7 lead.

The ball continued to bounce the Miners way in the third quarter when they advanced one of their own fumbles for a touchdown, and then recovered three UCF fourth quarter fumbles, including one in the end zone for a touchdown to seal the 58-13 victory.

The UCF head back to Orlando to welcome SMU to town next week. Neither team has beaten a I-A team this season.
