Depth Chart For UTEP

[MGNation92]

Fine and Hall still listed as starters.

Won't be surprised to see Shanbour and Roberts get extended time though.

Still surprised at Brammer starting after he got absolutely destroyed on Saturday

Hall -OR- Roberts tells me all I need to know there.
We're playing UTEP.   It's safe to start Roberts.  I don't want Hall to even touch the field.   
Get well man.  We need you fully healthy VS USM!

We likely need Mason out there to set an early tone.  Put the Miners in a hole they can't get out of... then play Shanbour or Pearson/Martin/Bean in the 2nd half.   The LAST thing we need is for a team who hasn't won a game in almost 2 years (against us, of all teams) to think they can hang around and gain any kind of confidence.

Agree with you.

My concern is that Mason goes out there and UTEP knows from watching tape that Fine has a lower body injury and they get frustrated or want to make an impression and intentionally go after Mason's knee. Now I know any team could do that but I feel like a team that hasnt on a game in two years is more inclined to do so.
