The Golden Eagles will look to get out of the gates hot in C-USA play as they take on an inept conference foe in UTEP. Southern Miss bludgeoned the Miners to the tune of 39-7 in last years meeting.
Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
Though their record stands at just .500, the Golden Eagles have put together a pretty respectable 2019 campaign so far. Their only losses have come against SEC opponents; a respectable 38-15 loss on the road at TAMU, and a 49-7 ramrodding on the road at Alabama.

Their most impressive win of the year so far came in week 3, when they won on the road against a Troy squad that won 10 games last season. Quarterback Jack Abraham threw for 463 yards and two touchdowns in that one.
The Golden Eagles will likely lean on their junior quarterback early again in this one, as they average almost 10-yards per attempt through the air compared to just 2.8 yards per carry on the ground.
Last season, Southern Miss managed to go 5-1 at home overall and 3-0 at home when facing an in-conference opponent.
Southern Miss should come out firing in this one behind their home crowd after going up against 3 straight tough opponents on the road.
UTEP Miners
It’s week 5 of college football and the UTEP Miners have already matched their win total from last season. Although that win was hard to come by, as the lowly Miners managed to eke out a two point win over the Houston Baptist Huskies in week 1.

That was a win the Miners more than likely needed as the rest of the schedule looks quite bleak. The Miners only win in 2018 came against a Rice team that had all but one win themselves. While the Miners still have Rice on the schedule in 2019, the Owls look like a much-improved side from last season.
Perhaps the one lone bright spot on this team is senior running back Treyvon Hughes, who has rushed for 251 yards and 4 TD’s this season while averaging 5 yards per carry.
Other than Hughes, not much else has gotten going on offense. Starting quarterback Brandon Jones is averaging just over 100 yards per game and has 1 touchdown to 2 interceptions so far on the season.
This Miners team is one of the worst teams in the NCAA and has been for quite a while now. Since 2017, UTEP has gone 2-25 straight up and are 7-19-1 ATS over that time. It doesn’t look like they have the horses to turn things around anytime soon. Fade UTEP in this one.
