San Jose State wins 24-11 over UTEP in Sun Bowl football game

San Jose State secured a 24-11 victory over UTEP in a Sun Bowl football game, according to the El Paso Times. The game featured a strong defensive performance by San Jose State, which recorded 11 sacks against UTEP's offense.

The Miners struggled offensively throughout the game, unable to sustain drives and keep their defense off the field. UTEP's quarterback EJ Colson left the game in the second quarter due to injury, further hampering their offensive efforts. San Jose State played without its starting tailback and quarterback but still managed to score on an 80-yard drive early in the game.

San Jose State extended their lead in the third quarter by scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions, which UTEP was unable to overcome. The Miners' offense showed some improvement late in the game but it was not enough to close the gap.

UTEP will have a bye week before traveling to Fargo for a Halloween game against North Dakota State, as reported by the El Paso Times.

This game was held at the Sun Bowl stadium in El Paso, Texas, and the attendance was 8,576, including band members and folklorico dancers.
