He has six rushing touchdowns this season. UTEP allows 187 rushing yards per game, so Hawaii has reason to lean on him again.

Count his carries in the first half. UTEP’s best big-play threat is quarterback Raymond Moore III, who has 481 rushing yards at 6.9 per carry. He has a run of 50 yards or more in four different games, including an 86-yarder at New Mexico. Hawaii allows 171.9 rushing yards per game, which plays to his legs. Moore ran three times for 67 yards and a touchdown against North Dakota State while sharing snaps with EJ Colson Jr. He has two touchdown passes and two interceptions on 78 attempts. His snap count will show how UTEP plans to attack. Running back Kam Thomas has been UTEP’s most dangerous receiver, averaging 14.9 yards per catch with 283 receiving yards. He caught four passes for 96 yards against San Jose State, including a 64-yarder. Hawaii allows 198.2 passing yards per game, and UTEP averages only 144.3, so the Miners need chunk plays wherever they can find them. Thomas drew 10 targets against Nevada on Oct. 10 and has caught at least three passes in each of the last four games. Keep an eye on how often UTEP throws to him out of the backfield.
