60 YEARS IN THE SUN BOWL
Sun Bowl Stadium opened on Sept. 21, 1963 and has featured multiple highlights since then. Against North Texas State on that date, Larry Durham scored the first touchdown in the new stadium as he bolted 54 yards for a touchdown on the game's opening play. He finished with 92 yards on 11 carries and a touchdown as the Miners crushed the Eagles, 34-7. The Miners' 68 points in a 68-21 win over Texas-Arlington on Oct. 15, 1966 marked the most-ever scored in the Sun Bowl. On Oct. 26, 1985, UTEP upset the defending national champs as the Miners derailed BYU's 24-game WAC winning streak, 23-16. On Nov. 19, 1988, the Miners edged out Air Force, 31-24, earning a program-best 10 victories and a trip to the Independence Bowl. On Oct. 19, 2002, UTEP's Keith Robinson boomed a school-record 59-yard field to beat Rice, 38-35. On Nov. 26, 2016, Aaron Jones lit up the stat sheet, running for a career-high 301 yards (second-most in program history and only second 300-yard performance) during a 52-24 drubbing of North Texas. Jones scored on touchdown runs of 83, 48, 58 and three yards. On Oct. 16, 2021, UTEP upset LA Tech, 19-3, to earn its sixth win of the season and bowl eligibility. On Friday, Sept. 23 of last season, the Miners defeated heavily-favored Boise State, 27-10, on CBS Sports Network.
