Gauging the pulse of the UTEP football fan base, the excitement has hit a brick wall and frustrations continue to rise. Can you blame them, though? This is the same program that has only seven winning seasons since their last bowl victory in 1967.

UTEP football is gearing up for the upcoming season as head coach Dana Dimel enters year three of his tenure. While the program is committed to a five-year rebuild, year three comes with uncertainty. Time to take a look at the 2020 season.

The UTEP football wide receiver corp was shaken up by another big departure, with the news surfacing that Arizona graduate transfer Devaughn Cooper has entered the transfer portal, as reported by Rivals Portal on Friday.

As the NCAA continues to allow universities to move forward with voluntary workouts, UTEP will permit its student-athletes to return to campus in phases beginning on June 15, as announced by Director of Athletics Jim Senter announced on Thursday.

Under the new concept, the NCAA transfer waiver working group would allow Division I athletes to transfer once without sitting out a year of competition. See how this would impact UTEP athletics.

Through a back-and-forth second half, the Miners battled their way out of a 13-point deficit in the first half but were nudged out in the end by Western Kentucky, falling for the fourth straight time, 67-62, on Thursday evening.

In some UTEP football offseason news, a pair of coaches have left the program and accepted similar jobs at other colleges.

Despite trailing 28-20 midway into the third quarter, the Miners outscored the Houston Baptist Huskies 16-6 to close the game with a slight 36-34 win at the Sun Bowl.

El Paso County case records indicate that Miners senior quarterback Kai Locksley was arrested last night and charged with four crimes—"unlawful carrying of a weapon, possession of marijuana, terroristic threat and driving while intoxicated."

The locks that contain all the glorious beer will be released once the UTEP Miners Football team FINALLY wins a game.
