UTEP 36, GGSM{SMU} 10

Another not-so-fun night for SMU. The Mustangs did get a 40-yard return of the opening kickoff and 19 yards on their first drive, SMU punted giving UTEP the ball on the 15. Not so bad. But then UTEP's QB Trevor Vittatoe threw an 85-yard touchdown pass to Kris Adams on their first play. The Miners didn't look back. Vittatoe finished 21-31 for 410 yards and three touchdowns, all three of those went to Adams. They should have thrown to him more often as he only caught 5 passes for 145 yards. These were the only three touchdowns UTEP had, but Jose Martinez did kick five field goals.

SMU's passing game was not firing on all cylinders. Bo Levi Mitchell was only 9 of 24 for 85 yards and threw two interceptions. His replacement, Logan Turner actually did worse in this respects going 4 of 12 for 42 yards, also with two interceptions, but he did throw a 27-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. SMU also fumbled twice for a total of six turnovers. Mitchell's 23 interceptions this season are the most in the nation.

SMU has one last chance to get June Jones his first win over a I-A team this season in two weeks when Southern Miss comes to town.
