The second half, the easier half, of the UTEP football team's schedule begins Wednesday when the Miners face Florida International in a nationally televised game.

FIU comes into the game with a 2-4 record and has a win against Louisiana Tech and an overtime loss against undefeated Liberty in its two best games. The Miners are still looking for their first win and come into the game with a record of 0:6 and a losing streak of nine games.

The mystery is who will start UTEP at quarterback since Cade McConnell is questionable with a wrist injury. Opening game starter Skyler Locklear would be poised to get that job back if McConnell can't leave.

The Miners are pleased with the improvement in their running game, but need to improve their defense against an FIU team that throws the football effectively.
