The New Mexico Bowl matchup between the BYU Cougars and the UTEP Miners has been all BYU so far, as the Cougars have a convincing 31-10 lead at halftime.
The Cougars got off to a fast start in this one. After forcing a Miners punt in their opening drive, BYU got a 43-yard punt return from JD Falsley that set them up at the UTEP 37 yard line. A few plays later, they opened the scoring on a four-yard rush by Bryan Kariya.
That made it 7-0, and the Cougars would proceed to pile on 10 more first quarter points, heading to the second quarter with a 17-3 lead. And on the first play in the second period, they got an interception from Brandon Ogletree on the UTEP 30 yard line, and would punch it in on the very next play on a pass from Jake Heaps to Cody Hoffman.
A few minutes later, Heaps would throw another touchdown pass to run the score to 31-3.
The Miners did manage to get into the end zone for the first time not long after that, scoring on a 67-yard pass from Trevor Vittatoe to Kris Adams that cut it to 31-10.
That's where we stand right now. And for the record, those 67 yards represent nearly the entirety of the 80 yards UTEP has gained on the day to this point.
