I see the Miners winning 6 or more games next year and getting to a Bowl Game. This time around we need to win the Bowl Game. There’s a few things that need to happen during the offseason to allow this to happen. We have to fill some key positions on offense, defense and special teams via the transfer portal or JUCO. I believe CSW has shown an ability to recruit talent to El Paso and can certainly do that with transfers. We have to completely revamp our Wefense with a new coach, kicker and punter. The play from our QBs, RBs, Receivers and offensive play calling has to improve. I’m hoping we pick up a proven QB in the transfer portal, but that will be a challenge. We need to keep the majority of our good players on the team to maintain some level of consistency. We competed well in our league and lost some close games. I think the future at UTEP looks bright and hopefully we see better results next year.
Never too early 2025 football W/L prediction

Way to early is just that to me, way to early. CS needs a bigger O line and depth for O line. An edge rusher, revamp the secondary and UTEP got torched too often. A FBS quality qb who can get get UTEP back to at least the .500 mark. We had the great arm qb's, the quick feet qb's, the qb's with moxy and grit but one with the entire package and they are out there, plenty of them. CUSA opponents can recruit them, so can UTEP. They don't have to land a Kaidon Salter (but it would be nice) but Scotty can and should recruit a Tyler Huff (Jax State) type qb to UTEP. The Diego Pavia's are special athletes that find their way to mid major's but they are a rare breed.
Second, who is transferring and who is transferring in? My point is Mike Price got some very critical transfers in year one and two and coached them up. Dimel got juco transfers for defense and it worked out ok, offense, not so much. Will this "top recruiting class" have some players ready to start in August? I say maybe a very small handful.

God you couldn’t even wait 48 hours after the big win over ultimate rival NMSU to take a shot at Coach Walden and young student Skyler Locklear. Troll.
I think the Miners will go 11-1 next year with the only loss coming to Texas in 5 OTs.
I know you’re joking, but it’s not a dig. Locklear has shown glimpses of being a solid quarterback, and Walden seems like a loyal coach who likely won’t bring in a transfer QB. Walden has also demonstrated the potential for an explosive offense, and I’m confident he believes in his play calling. I’m not saying we can’t achieve 5 or 6 wins, but don’t expect those two factors to change.
We will see about Locklear. But yeah Walden will definitely be the playcaller. If UTEP can run the football next season, we will think more highly of his playcalling. Otherwise, next season will be poopy.
There's no loyalty in college sports anymore. Walden better learn this real quick. If there's a better guy out there go get him.
