UTEP football pushing the limits in summer workouts

[Coach Andy Mac]

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – In 65 days the UTEP football season will get underway as the Miners host North Texas at the Sun Bowl on August 27th.

UTEP Athletics is building up the hype for this year’s football team after the historic season the program had in 2021-2022. The plan is to sell out the Sun Bowl for their first game and it looks like they are getting close.

According to UTEP Athletics, they have sold 30,635 tickets for the season opener and only 34% of tickets remain. The Sun Bowl holds a capacity of 45,971 fans.

“Coming off a winning season like last year they [coaching staff] put a lot more on us, push us a lot harder, the grind has been tougher,” said Prince. “We’ve had a lot of early mornings and long days so it’s been pretty good compared to different summers.”

The Miners open up their 2022 football season on Aug. 27 against North Texas, which will be the first time UTEP opens with a conference game since 1994, at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.

You don't think we are working hard this off-season?  Heck, my 8th grade coach ran the crap out of us and we still sucked.  They have to prove it on the field.

No way NT rolls over like that to a 66-7 drubbing VS UTEP.   Littrell hasn't lost the team like that.
Now, if the net result is the same (the game that forces the realization of decision-makers to make a change at HC), then I'm OK with a loss to a salty UTEP team.

I think the KD xfer is causing a ton of people to overreact.

I also refuse to believe PB let's anything get that out of hand.
