Week 2 - North Texas (0-0) @ UTEP (0-0) (-7)
Final: North Texas 30, UTEP 13
Not the way you typically want to start a season. Just a really careless game from our offense. QB Stevens had two picks and then backup Wolf came in and throw one of his own. So the quarterback situation from last year looks to be continuing. If Stevens can't provide the offense with some stability and leadership, I'll be forced to look in a different direction. Hopefully he can turn things around.
North Texas was pretty balanced offensively, as most pro-formation teams are. If Stevens doesn't throw two INTs for touchdowns, this is a much closer ballgame. The good news is that we had minimal injuries on the day as only QB Stevens left the game with a bruised shoulder.
Week 3 - Texas Tech (2-0) (-8) @ UTEP (0-1)
Final: UTEP 44, Texas Tech 10
We took the Red Raiders behind the woodshed today. I think this makes 3 years in a row against them. Quite impressive. Stevens threw two more picks today, but he was a little more accurate as he went 19/31 for 249 yards and 2 TD's. I have faith that he can get his shit together. RB Lyles ran wild on the Texas Tech defense going for 130 yards on 21 carries.
