OPT/Game thread: UTEP (2-9) at NMSU (3-8)

Trash Coach, they return the entire OLine and have more NIL money than UTEP.

Should have easily replenished a Bowl Team Roster.

Went from 2nd in Conference to Last. Trash Coach. Walden out coached him today
Walden outcoached him. Glad UTEP/Senter got their $200,000 salary difference today.

I mean most of us said he was trash when they hired him. He killed all momentum Kill had made.

Overall, I’m very happy with the win but disappointed with the poor execution by Walden and the Miners towards the end of the game. Why did we not kick the ball on fourth down and pin the aggies deep in their own field? Those dumb penalties and terrible game management decisions kept the aggies drives alive. I’m hoping Walden and team review a lot of game film during the off season and correct the multitude of mistakes that plagued this team. We also need a new Special Teams Coordinator and revamp that unit. Our offensive play calling was also very inconsistent during the year. We need to clean up that unit too. The defense was the lone bright spot on this team. We had some great individual contributors on the team that played well. We have some solid young players coming back next year and hopefully some great recruits. We will need to replace some key contributors and hope we pick up some good players in the transfer portal or via the juco ranks.
 
Hmm, must have been buried in the avalanche of posts complaing about "trolls," and not getting the "TV ratings" and "I'm watching it on a TV" jokes.

Nope, see post 264. Like I said, I was at the game. I wasn't on my phone for the bulk of the game.

It was 4th and 3, Walden was going to Hard Count and try to get NMSU to jump. Unfortunately, the Center snapped the ball. No play was called. But the plan was to punt if NMSU jumped offsides.

I didn’t see that from watching on TV. I never thought I’d be more relieved at a busted play.
 
Could you elaborate a bit on this kickball? I thought the talent level on both sides was pretty even, and I honestly thought the game could have easily gotten away from UTEP. Obviously, I respect your opinion as a coach.

I was just trolling the fans who were ready to fire the entire Athletic Department when UTEP was down 24-7.

Kill was an exceptional Coach.

The truth is we were outplayed and the breaks went our way. But it’s great to go into the offseason with this momentum.
