Some streak will end Friday night in the Sun Bowl when Louisiana Tech meets UTEP in the nation's only battle between two teams playing their sixth game of the season.

The Bulldogs, who mostly have a strong tradition, have lost 17 consecutive games away from Ruston, La. The Miners' losing streak against FBS teams is now five straight. As for the series, Louisiana Tech leads it 9-2, though UTEP did win the last game in the Sun Bowl in 2021 that is part of that big Bulldog road losing streak.

UTEP fans begin cheering as a targeting call gets overturned as they face UNLV on on Sept. 23, 2023 at the Sun Bowl.
