Mistakes cost UTEP on road in Conference USA loss to FBS newcomer Jax State

Forgive UTEP if the Miners are suffering from a spell of déjà vu. 

Dana Dimel’s squad fell in Week 0 to a conference foe due to unforced errors last year, and they did the same thing Saturday afternoon against FBS newcomer Jax State, 17-14, UTEP outgained Jax State by nearly 100 yards while picking up seven more first downs with over seven extra minutes of possession.
