ALBUQUERQUUE, N.M. (AP) – One team turned things around after a rough start. The other hit the skids after beginning with much promise.
Now both BYU and Texas-El Paso are looking to end their seasons on a high note Saturday in the New Mexico Bowl, the first contest of college football’s bowl season.
BYU (6-6) lost four of its first five games, including a 31-16 defeat at rival Utah State, and coach Bronco Mendenhall told his players it would be “a remarkable accomplishment” if they could reach a bowl game and win it.
While the Cougars are poised to accomplish that goal, the Miners are hoping to salvage a season that has unfolded in the opposite direction, with five losses in their last six games after a 5-1 start.
