Good luck in the conference championship. UTEP no huddle is annoying asf. Beat their asses

We are very evenly matched so if we can run the ball better and avoid turnovers we should have a winnable game on our hands. I only play offense so I don’t have to deal with their no huddle yet.

time to get that lick back

Not overly excited about the back to back games against the same team but it is nice to have a chance to get back at them.

[djp73]

Let’s bounce back good luck in the conf championship

Hoping to, thanks!

Normally it would be annoying playing the same team again but getting a chance at revenge so quick is nice.
