UTEP Miners
Miner pride, El Paso strong
UTEP’s 1967 Sun Bowl victory over Mississippi is a signature moment in Miner history. The program’s deep roots in El Paso make it a distinctive part of West Texas football culture.
Miner fans bring orange-and-blue pride to the Sun Bowl, set against the Franklin Mountains. The Battle of I-10 with New Mexico State is the defining rivalry, while matchups with New Mexico and Texas State add regional ties.
