On Saturday night, November 14, at Sun Bowl stadium in El Paso, Texas, Wyoming defeated UTEP 27-15. According to the El Paso Times, UTEP struck first on Raymond Moore III's 80-yard touchdown run for a 6-0 lead, but Wyoming answered with 24 straight points and held on, before a season-low crowd of 8,334.
Wyoming scored 14 points in the first quarter and 10 in the second, none in the third and three in the fourth; UTEP scored six in the first, three in the third and six in the fourth. UTEP pulled within 24-15 with 12 minutes left, but a two-point conversion failed, and after another Wyoming fumble gave the Miners the ball at the 24, UTEP was stopped cold and missed a 37-yard field goal with 8:54 remaining. Wyoming then hit a 49-yard pass, and Erik Sandvik made a 41-yard field goal with 6:44 left in the fourth quarter for the final 27-15 margin.
Led by backup quarterback Landon Sims, Wyoming improved to 7-3 (6-1 Mountain West) with its fifth straight win and next hosts No. 22 New Mexico with the conference title on the line. UTEP fell to 1-9. It was the first meeting between the schools since 1995.
