UTEP has a chance to go to a bowl game, but it all depends how the Miners will do on Friday.

UTEP is 5-6 and is one win shy of being bowl eligible.

They will play the University of Central Florida at 5 p.m. on Friday at Bright House Networks Stadium in Orlando, Fla.

What's at Stake:

With a win on Friday at UCF, UTEP would:
Secure bowl eligibility in back-to-back years for the first time since 2004-05

Win two of its last three regular season games for only the fifth time in 41 years

Win its regular season finale for the second time in 23 years (beat Marshall 52-21 on Nov. 28, 2009)

Win a game in the Eastern time zone for the first time in school history (0-16-1 record, tie came versus West Virginia 13-13 on Nov. 12, 1949)

Win a conference road game in the month of November for the first time since Nov. 10, 2006 (36-17 victory at UAB)

Post two conference road wins for the first time since 2004 (the Miners won two league games away from El Paso in 2005, but one was a neutral site match-up against Tulane in Ruston, La.)

Win its final road game of the season for the first time since Nov. 9, 1991 (41-24 victory at Hawaii)

Post three road wins in a season for the first time since 2005 and only the seventh time since 1965 (1970, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2004, 2005)

Have six wins in consecutive seasons for just the third time since 1970 (also happened in 1987-88 and 2004-05)
