Good News, UTEP is finally getting healthy at linebacker and along the offensive line.

The Herd are in the midst of a quarterback battle between Brian Anderson and Eddie Sullivan. Expect to see Sullivan early; which should do wonders for Anderson's confidence.
Sullivan really likes football. Like really.

Coach Price
Mike Price won’t be fired, he isn’t going to retire after this season, and he will surprise Miners fans next season. He is a man on a mission, and he isn’t done.

I liked Duke Keiths take on the situation
And also- Chris Avila had a nice commentary something like “Be careful what you wish for.” It’s Price’s success at UTEP that allows Miner fans to be upset with a 5-3 record. Any other time in UTEP history, minus maybe Stulls brief tenure, we’d be doing backflips with 5-3, especially with the wins against NMSU and UNM.
And there’s no denying that the talent level has improved with his recruiting in AZ, Ca, and the in roads the satellite camps have made in central Texas.
I do think that the late season struggles have formed a trend that needs to be addressed. If UTEP plays their hearts out and loses those games in a dog fight, that’s football. But, I was disheartened with the offenses performance last week. I know TV has been banged up (2 sprained ankles?) but ita frustrating to see winnable games end like that.
Coach Price has to rally the troops. The defense fought for four quarters last week. Let’s see the offense do it too. When the Miners have a complete game from both sides of the ball, they can beat anybody in the C-USA West. I can’t wait to see how UTEP looks today-
