The two former WAC rivals will meet for the first time since 1998. BYU (6-6) has won 25 of the past 27 meetings between the two schools. This game generally features a matchup between the Mountain West and WAC, but the Miners' proximity to New Mexico helped in the decision.
"We're excited about renewing our long-standing rivalry with BYU in the New Mexico Bowl," UTEP coach Mike Price said in a statement. "It's a great opportunity for our fans to drive down for the game, enjoy postseason play and take in the great city of Albuquerque."
UTEP (6-6) has posted a 5-7 bowl record and is seeking its first postseason win since 1967. Both teams are making their first appearance in the game.
