UTEP football: November home game with Rice moved to Friday night

UTEP's early November home game with Rice has been moved to Friday night November 6^th according to a release from the Conference USA league office.

The move was made to accommodate national television which the networks and kick off time will be announced at a later date.

This marks the second straight year UTEP and Rice meet on a Friday night, and it also marks the first time in the Sean Kugler era that Rice visits El Paso after two straight tilts in Houston. 

The move was a part of nine games across the conference changing their dates to weekdays for national TV purposes.

A trio of C-USA teams will open the 2015 season on Thursday September 3^rd.

The Miners will hold their spring game on April 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the Sun Bowl, admission is free!
