La Tech giving Kansas State all it can handle. Northern Illinois also playing Ohio State tough. These are solid mid major programs.
Will UTEP ever compete like La Tech and NIU?
 
Price almost did it here. The problem was we couldn't finish. At home, UTEP started out great against Oklahoma. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on the trick plays. At Wisconsin, UTEP did great, but again they just couldn't finish.

If we can find that balance between a Mike Price style and a Kugler style team, then we will become a solid mid major program. Price ran a finesse style that could move the ball and put up points. But Price was too laid back with the players. But like EPChi said, Price's finesse style couldn't finish down the stretch and physical CUSA teams gave us problems. Kugler's teams are rough and tough , and he is a strict disciplinarian. But his offense is 1 dimensional. Like someone mentioned in a previous post, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring Price on board as a consultant to try and tweek this offense. Its just mind boggling how we can run the ball very well, and you would think by being able to run the ball, the passing game would be very effective. You would think the play action pass would be shredding the opposing teams with our run game we have.
