TV channel, stream and time to watch Wyoming at UTEP as Cowboys chase New Mexico

A consequential game for Wyoming

Wyoming is 5-1 in Mountain West play, one game behind New Mexico, which remains perfect in conference games. The Lobos visit Laramie on Nov. 20. The Cowboys’ only conference defeat came at North Dakota State on Oct. 3. Another loss in El Paso could put Wyoming two games behind New Mexico before their meeting.

Quarterback uncertainty in Wyoming

Tyler Hughes is doubtful because of a forearm injury, leaving Landon Sims in line to start. Sims has scored two rushing touchdowns while playing in a backup role this season.

Wyoming averages 203.9 rushing yards per game, fourth in the Mountain West. Markell Holman has gained at least 80 yards on the ground in four games and leads the team’s running backs with 97 carries.

UTEP looks for a breakthrough

The Miners have dropped seven consecutive games and are still searching for their first Mountain West victory. Raymond Moore III has provided a source of explosive plays, with three runs of at least 57 yards.

Moore has 522 rushing yards and started UTEP’s most recent game, against Hawai'i. He has also passed for 546 yards while sharing quarterback duties with EJ Colson Jr.

Smith leads the receiving group

Jaden Smith is UTEP’s most dependable receiver, with 36 catches—nearly twice the total of any teammate. Against San Jose State on Oct. 17, he caught 12 of 13 passes thrown his way for 90 yards.
