The offense isn’t going to look different. It is what it is. It’s wide splits and run as many plays as you can. Which means simple.
Bold Prediction: Shay Smith starts at quarterback.
Hearing Nelson is getting paid $30,000.

Exclusive one-on-one: "Malachi's Next Play"
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- California native, Malachi Nelson, came out of high school as a unanimous five-star recruit listed as the number one ranked recruit in the nation for ESPN. He also won back-to-back Gatorade California Player of the Year awards, which is a National award that's only given...
If the former #1 recruit in the nation is getting 30k then I can only imagine how our basketball NIL looks like.
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?
-Skylar was head and shoulders above the rest.
-Malachi looked as if he was still learning the offense and getting into the rhythm of things. He did OK.
-Shay played well and better than Malachi but still stares down WR's and tends to go only to #26.
I also believe there were scouts from 2025 opponents at the game so they kept it simple. Don't get it twisted, Malachi will be your starter. He'll be better come the season opener. Better than Skylar? IDK. But he will start.

It's the playbook, he has an arm and can be accurate. He could have taken more NIL money (elsewhere,) I think if he sticks it out through fall, he will eventually be the starter. Let's not kid ourselves, Walden is going to have Skyler start. Smith looked good though, and I hope he gets a legit shot. Personally, I think things look much better going into year 2 with Walden. They really need to snag an experienced WR. I would be shocked to not see Nelson as the starter come conference play.

You think? I like that Locklear is making a strong case for the job, but I wonder if Malachi was promised first crack. Ultimately if the job wasn’t promised to Malachi the job will be won/lost not in the fall and not spring ball. What I don’t want is for the QBs to platoon like they were doing last year.
But this is where I wonder if the constant transferring has hurt Malachi’s development. Changing QBs and systems the last three years may have hurt his development.
Malachi will transfer the second he is not in the plans or loses the starter job.
It’s pretty clear that no matter how the season goes, good or bad, he’s only sticking around for one year.
I hope not. He’s only hurting himself going from stop to stop, and system to system
spring game was OK... viewed on YouTube.
But, I have say Malachi looked the part. He just has get the timing down.
I would consider Walden's offensive type to be "the greatest show on turf."
Defense will be much better also.
going to be a great season look for 8 wins

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?!
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.
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!

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.UTEP Football

Christ almighty! Even if you run guys off what’s the max you should carry 3? Did Walden forget he’s building a football team, not a “futbol” team.
How many screen passes were called? Seriously, anyone who went to the game....how many?
Did you forgot all of our wefense problems from last season? One of them ought to be a d1 caliber kicker.
weak offensive line resulting in poor running game is going to be the weak link again this year
I agree. Buzz sucked… but if you’re bringing in 8 more dudes to challenge him that’s overkill.

Hate to see him go. I thought he had a lot of heart and physical toughness when he was thrown into the games as a true freshman. But the QB room looks crowded which is a good thing for the Miners.
how could the kicker competition be coming to a close? last year's starting kicker is leaving and we have what, 8? remaining on roster? Isn't the competition just beginning? What am I missing?
