Admission is free for the first home fall friendly for the Miners since they squared off against Colorado College in 2022. The contest will afford fans their first look at this year’s edition of the squad, who are under the direction of fourth-year head coach Gibbs Keeton. UTEP has a good mix of both returnees and newcomers for this year’s squad, which will be embarking on its first season as members of the Mountain West. Following Saturday’s exhibition, the Orange and Blue will be full steam ahead for the 2026 campaign. The Miners will have eight regular-season home contests on the docket, including five within MW action.
