Louisiana Tech 2-3 (1-0) @ UTEP 5-1 (2-0) 9:00PM(ET) ESPN+ (No ULL Fans Allowed)
Just looking at the weather it’s going 68 with 15mph wind in El Paso while it’s been 90+ heat indices in Ruston. Those temps probably won’t play much of a factor but the first initial cool/cold weather that player experiences is usually a shock to the body.

Tech is coming off a bye week which in recent years has equaled a bad performance in the Holtz era.

While UTEP is sporting their best starting record (5-1) in what at least 15 years?

I see this game being competitive hopefully Tech can close this one out.

Gonna be a good one. Tech has lost some heartbreakers this season but comes out swinging. UTEP has a load of confidence and is one win away from a bowl game. Got to admit, I am ready for some football!!

I think Tech should be able to outscore UTEP.

I think UTEP is ready to break the long losing streak to La Tech and the other losing streak to Holtz. I'm not confident enough to predict it actually happens.

Tech and UTEP go a ways back dating to the WAC days. Its always an interesting game on the schedule win or lose. I hope you don't make it too interesting but glad we got a thread already rolling!

Every one of our games this year has been by 7 points or less, win or lose. This should be another close one.

Putting "No ULL Fans Allowed" in a Louisiana Tech thread title is like telling everyone in the family "Don't invite cousin Eddie to the family reunion this year". Eddie's gonna be there and the shitter's gonna be full!!!

The temperature is going to drop down to about 61 before the game is over though and windy.

The elevation in El Paso -- over 3700 ft-- is probably the most challenging thing to have to adapt to for most teams from the bayou state.

Yes it's different. It's currently 61 and it's a bit chilly. Ive been away for so many years that I'm adjusting to it too. The thing about El Paso during this time of year is that it's hot during the day but cool at night and morning.

This will be a tough game for us. We could be 5-0 and ranked but of course we are only 2-3 lol. UTEP will be ready to play and it should be a battle tomorrow night.

Last year we nosed out a 21-17 win in Ruston. Yes, this is a totally new year and we actually have an OL this year. 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?

It seems like Covid affected every game we played last year. Regardless, UTEP is definitely better this year and not the automatic "W" they were in the past. It will be another close game decided on the last drive or two of the game like all of our recent games.
