Is Cade still recovering?
Too bad Trevor couldn’t come back, still can’t throw the rock 70 yards.

I get that UTEP isn’t a football powerhouse but I love that Walden is reaching out to ex players and bringing them back for the Spring game. I loved that Floyd was the guy who started honoring ex BB players as well.

We're starting from zero. Great!!

I hear you, but the MAAC was tougher than CUSA this past year and the top half were good. MSM didn't light it up like a mid major like Drake but they were tough. I say welcome him.

I could win with better players, but its not gonna happen

The level of talent a team has sets a baseline W/L in conference. The coach can either cause those players to win more games than their talent level or less games than their talent level. The same coach with better talent will win more games because their baseline is higher, and the opposite is true.

Haskins won in the 80s with good talent. He lost in the 70s with bad talent. In both of those cases, he won probably 5-7 more games than the average coach would have with the same talent. But even he couldn't make bad talent a conference champion.

If you gave Golding the players from Houston, he'd win conference. But if you gave him the Liberty or Mid TN players he wouldn't win conference.

Is it reasonable to think that Nelson’s INTs and staring down receivers is due to still learning the playbook? Or is that the orange koolaid talking?

Could be a little of both, but too early. 100% though he shouldn’t have been expected to be ahead of Skylar or Shay in spring ball. He is literally learning a whole new playbook. Let’s see how it if he improves by fall!

It’s pretty clear that no matter how the season goes, good or bad, he’s only sticking around for one year.

That’s true. If he does well, he will go to a bigger school. If he stinks, he will go and try it at a similar or smaller school. Where they will celebrate his 5 star status and make outrageous predictions like some did here.

The offense looks the same as last year. Even the same old sideline passes that would end up nowhere are still being used. I had high hopes that Malachi Nelson would make UTEP great but he looks awful. No wonder he couldn't make it at USC and Boise State. Not impressed by the QB situation and no changes to the offense. I would be surprised if UTEP breaks .500 this season.

Why did u think Walden’s offensive would change, that’s shame on you. His offensive is his offense, period. The effectiveness of how it’s ran is what matters and will determine how the season goes. Oh and also it was spring ball and Nelson should’ve looked awful in a new offense, I don’t know if you know how football and practices work?!
