Houston wants revenge here after being #12 and losing at UTEP a year ago. On offense Houston will do whatever it wants here tonight behind Keenum a heisman candidate. UTEP was able to win with the running game last year with Donald Bruckram, but a couple things to take into consider. Bruckram did not play week 1 so he'll be rusty and not as confident as he had a bruised knee and was carried off the practice field. Also add in Houston getting one of their star linebackers back in Matt Nicholson who is excellent against the rush. Add in UTEP's star QB Vittatoe had offseason shoulder surgery and despite putting up decent numbers he faced a FCS defense in Pine Bluff and he looked out of rhythm at times. It could be his shoulder, but either way he's not the same QB as a year ago when UTEP won against Houston. Houston gets revenge here.
