They are licking their chops. But oftentimes, opponents find a way to blow it when they have a monkey on their back.
UTEP has not defeated a "power conference" foe since 1967.

- Start date
UTEP is technically 1-1 after beating top 10 (FCS) Incarnate Word. (It counts for bowl purposes.)
Incarnate Word is better than SIU was last season.
UTEP's play also reminds me of Fitzball (with Hank). The difference is that the head coach (Dimel) insists on calling plays (as he did at KSU) and sometimes he makes boneheaded calls at the end of the game that lose close games instead of win them (see Jacksonville State).
So I think UTEP has a good chance, but it won't be a blowout either way.

The UTEP fanbase is so snake bitten that many are still predicting a victory by NU; some predict a blowout.

That is the year I commenced operations!
I remember when the university of Missouri decided to hire Bob Stull of UTEP to lead its program back in the early 1980s. That did not end well.

I have not seen UTEP play, but I do not feel like NU played so poorly that they should be the underdog in this game. I feel there is a lot of room for improvement from week one to week two. Not so much to win a Big Ten game, but I feel two wins this season is where we will be.
I saw UTEP play Jax State; UTEP looks faster and more physical than the Cats did yesterday, especially on defense. I see the game as a toss-up.
