Earlier this week, the Mountain West released the league model for the upcoming season, featuring an eight conference schedule plus two non-conference opponents and a start date set for Sept. 26. This complicates things for the college football season in the area.

Another year, another offseason battle for the starting quarterback job at UTEP. Head coach Dana Dimel will get a fresh look at a newcomer stepping in as the starter for this year.

As important as the quarterback position is to the offense, the defensive line might be the most significant part of the defense this year for the UTEP football team.

Losing three players to graduation doesn't mean that the coaching staff feels less about the safeties this year. In fact, Dana Dimel is extremely optimistic about the trio of starters he has for the upcoming season.

As part of the offseason preview series, the UTEP football special teams unit returns their top kicker from last year and brought in a promising punter over the offseason.

In their new defensive setup, the Miners can set up various schemes for their cornerbacks. Time to look at the cornerbacks within the program and hear from head coach Dana Dimel.

Remembering the legend that was Branko Belichesky, UTEP football's shoeless kicker, who lived an eccentric, fascinating life on and off the field.

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.

UTEP fans will have the opportunity to renew football season tickets for the 2020 season, starting on Wednesday, Feb. 5.

The Miners (1-5, 0-3 C-USA) will be playing host to one of C-USA's best in LA Tech (6-1, 3-0 C-USA) on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Sun Bowl.
