But, both teams have many of the same players, and they have #23 Praise A. who lived in our backfield last year. I expect this to be our 6th one-score final. Not saying who will have the higher score...that's not up to me.

I thought I remember reading that last year you guys were missing a bunch of players cuz of Covid. Were any of them starters?

Biggest problem was on the OL. We were missing both starting tackles and a guard, and then one of the backups went down with a leg injury in the 2nd qtr of the game. Think we were missing one starting DL, but the defense was mostly intact and we had all of our skilled players, WRs and RBs, for the game. And we had our starting QB, Luke Anthony, who was lost later in the season to an injury.

Except for the OL, Tech had no excuses last year. The game was close because the two teams are close in capability.

I don't miss these Mountain time zone game starts. You have to wait all day Saturday and then the games don't finish until 11pm or midnight. Let's play!

We like to think of it that we're the main event game of the conference.

I'll be heading to the Sun Bowl around 4 MT. I'll let you guys know how the tailgate scene looks. It's an indicator of how the crowd will be.

UTEP hasn’t beat La Tech in El Paso since 1939. That's changing tonight.

Already saw a tweet saying parking lots were full of tailgaters at 10am. Should be a good crowd for an exciting game!

What is your prediction concerning attendance? Hopefully, it'll break 25k, that's respectable.

If your ticket site is correct then 39,189 tickets have already been sold. I'm thinking 40,000 attendance tonight.
Tech always brings out the fans on the road. Everybody wants to beat Louisiana Tech.

That's wrong. There are thousands of tickets on the east side that aren't available for sale but I know for a fact haven't sold. Imo the attendance will be around 20-25k.

Ok, that makes sense then. I was wondering how that many tickets could have been sold. 25k will still be a good crowd. Looking forward to the game tonight!

Please tell me Holtz isn't going to kick the field goal. It's such a Holtz thing to do.

Seems like a dumb play call. They have their entire defense on the line of scrimmage...lets run right at them. From the shotgun. They had a guy in the backfield before our running back got to the line of scrimmage.
