We’ll get to see what UTEP has to offer Saturday, when Stephen F Austin travels to El Paso Saturday night for a game. 8 pm ESPN 3

I am really hoping that SFA doesn't infect UTEP with CV19 causing UT's game with UTEP to be canceled. I am ready to watch some Longhorn football.

How long has it been since we truly mudholed anyone? Seriously cant remember, but it seemed to happen at least a couple times a season in Macks early years.

Looks to me like when we played UTEP in 2009; 64-7, game was 45-7 at halftime. Hot as fucking hell that day. I guess you could say San Jose State in Herman’s first year, but that game was only 21-0 at half...

Beat New Mexico State 56-7 in 2013, but I remember it was New Mexico State 7-0 much of the first half and everyone wanted everyone fired.

The Largest Margin of Victory over the last 10 seasons: 

1. 2017 vs. San Jose State - 56 points (56-0)

2. 2013 vs. New Mexico State - 49 points (56-7)

3. 2012 vs. New Mexico - 45 points (45-0)

4. 2011 vs. Kansas - 43 points (43-0)

5. 2015 vs. Kansas - 39 points (59-20)

T6. 2012 at Ole Miss - 35 points (66-31)

T6.  2019 at Rice - 35 points (48-13)

T8. 2010 vs. Florida Atlantic - 34 points (41-7)

T8. 2016 vs. UTEP - 34 points (41-7) 

10. 2011 vs. Texas Tech - 32 points (52-20)

Of the 71 wins the past 10 seasons, 27 or 38% were by less than 10 points.

They're terrible. We should win convincingly.

Right I mean Texas will very likely cover the spread but it won't really mean shit as far as how good they are, just how bad the Miners are.

Oh, yes, please show me the 2008 TTech game.

Hell I'd be offended even if they showed ties.

What were halftime scores at each of those games?

Stanco strikes again! Herman’s 5-4 against the spread noncon at Texas. 8-4 if you include bowl games. 

This is exactly what comes from confirmation bias.  The losses (vs the spread) are memorable, because they fit the narrative.  The wins don't register as much because they do not.  As a result there is conviction that it's a shitty record vs the spread while the reality is otherwise.

Like somebody said earlier, "U Take-Em Points." Clearly, we can cover; Herman just won't. He'll lay it off on, "Well, we have to get the younger guys some PT. With this covid thing, you never know when you'll have to play 'em." Then, if pressed, he'll have more explanatory coach-speak. But the truth is, running it up's just not in his DNA.
