"[UTEP] Miners ride past [SMU] Mustangs, 36 - 10"


¡Ora, UTEP! ¡Adelante, DESTINO! ¡Ora, MEChA!


UTEP's Mr. Quinton Martinez -- Sports Editor -- w/photographer Mr. Fernie Castillo, both of The UTEP Prospector, has the story, November 18, 2008.


"Trevor Vittatoe put on the kind of statistical performance normally reserved for a quarterback on the opposite sideline, tossing for a career - best 410 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Miners to an easy 36 - 10 win over SMU Nov. 15 at the Sun Bowl.

"UTEP had 544 total yards, including 134 on the ground, for the team's best offensive output of the season, yet the defense also had far and away its best night of the year.

"If not for a late cosmetic touchdown for the Mustangs, the Miners could have held SMU completely out of the end zone on the night.

"[H]ead coach Mike Price said, I'm sure happy we are playing for something in November and playing for a chance to go to a bowl."
