Great article on El Paso football in the newly released Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine. Starts with the Canutillo Effect; then on to the Kugler Effect; followed by the Jones Brothers Effect. Sounds like El Paso's mojo is rising in Texas football.
There is a four page feature spread about El Paso football in addition to the usual Miner/CUSA write up.
On page 46, POWER POLL, UTEP ranks number seven of the twelve FBS programs in the state, the highest ranking member of the mid-majors, just after Texas Tech and Houston, which in my mind are no better teams than Kugler's UTEP Miners. Following that train of thought, that puts UTEP football in a fifth place ranking in Texas FBS programs out of twelve. Two of those teams, TCU and Baylor, are predicted contenders for the national title. That's a pretty strong showing for the start of a third year for Coach Sean Kugler, el al.
GO MINERS!!
