The UTEP Miners will face off against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks in a week 0 C-USA matchup on Saturday afternoon.
For UTEP, this season is all about progression. Finishing 5-7 in 2022 added to the pattern of underwhelming performances under head coach Dana Dimel. It marked the 4th losing season in 5 full seasons under his leadership and an alarming 15th since 2005 when UTEP made its entry into C-USA.
Jacksonville State stands on the brink of a new era. Their promotion to FBS this year has been well-earned. The Gamecocks were dominant in the ASUN conference, securing a championship win in 2022. The past decade has seen them clinch seven conference titles and make seven appearances in the FCS tournament. Their FCS journey concluded on a high note, registering a 9-2 finish under Rich Rodriguez.
Tune into the first weekend of college football, here is everything you need to know to watch and stream the game on Saturday.
