New Mexico Bowl 2021 Preview
Interim coach Lee Marks will lead Fresno State in this game after Kalen DeBoer is off to become the new head coach at Washington.
The Bulldogs have won two straight, and five of their last six, last playing on November 25, when they handed San Jose State a 40-9 beatdown. Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener — who flirted with transferring after DeBoer’s exit — decided to stay put, but Marks hasn’t committed to a signal-caller yet.
“Practice has been going really, really well,” Marks said earlier this week. “The excitement that’s in the program right now is electric. The guys are moving around, they’re bouncing around and they’re really excited to get a chance to play against the Miners. We also know that we earned a spot to be down here and to do what we need to do to make sure we finish the right way.”
Marks wouldn’t say who would be under center for the Bulldogs between Haener and freshmen Jaylen Henderson and Logan Fife.
“All those guys are doing a really, really good job with the plan right now,” Marks added. “(We are going to) keep everything in-house.”
They’ll be going up against a UTEP squad that’s looking for its first win in a bowl game in 54 years. The Miners haven’t defeated a team with a winning record yet this season, so the challenge is a big one for the group.
“What you want in a bowl game is a chance to make history, and we have that,” UTEP coach Dana Dimel said. “At UTEP we haven’t won a bowl game in 40 years (technically, it’s 54 years). It’s a blessing to go out there and compete and hopefully win. When you play the game, it brings a lot of unity to our football team. That’s a big part of it. The unity gets even better.”
The Miners are led on offense by quarterback Gavin Hardison, who threw for 2,966 yards, 16 TDs and 12 interceptions on the season.
Fresno State is putting up 33.6 points a game on offense, and they’re surrendering 20.3 points a game on defense, while UTEP is scoring 25.2 points a game and allowing 24.8 points a game per contest.
The Bulldogs lead the all-time series, 8-3-1.
