UTEP graduated only 11 players from 2021's bunch and while they also lost top receiver Jacob Cowing to Arizona in the transfer portal, this is an experienced Miners team that many players quietly think is the most talented UTEP has had in years. Leading the charge will be redshirt junior quarterback, Gavin Hardison, who is now entering his third year as UTEP's starter. An All-Conference USA Honorable Mention choice a year ago, Hardison threw for 3,217 yards, 18 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 2021.But the last game of the season left a bad taste in his mouth; Hardison's fumble late in the fourth quarter vs. Fresno State ended a promising Miners drive that could've tied the game. It's motivated him all offseason. "I've had a lot of goals that I've accomplished this offseason and taking care of the ball is one of them. It's an extremely motivating scene, what happened the last time we played and we're excited to get out here for week 0," said Hardison. - El Paso Times

Gavin Hardison has improved. So much of UTEP's season hinges on a starting quarterback entering his second year at the helm to turn potential and that rocket arm into production and consistency, and as fall camp moves past the halfway point, indications are that's happening. The good throws and right reads are more frequent, the giveaways have been minimized. This is what so much of a successful season will rely on. Stepping up "I think I'm progressing in every aspect of my game so far," Hardison said. "I think I'm seeing everything really well and getting the ball out of my hands. I think I'm doing pretty good so far."That's something everyone around UTEP football has sensed. "In camp obviously we're throwing a lot of stuff at our quarterbacks, a lot of different schemes and having to make the checks, the things we need to see against various looks," coach Dana Dimel said. "This is the time the quarterback gets a bunch of work in and we think he's progressed greatly throughout camp, really hav ing a lot of savvy and experience to what he's doing. "He's protecting the football extremely well and making some big throws." - El Paso Times

There are many reasons the UTEP football team began fall camp Friday with real optimism that has often been lacking, and is so often the case with a team expecting to make a leap, that begins under center. Sophomore (sort of) Gavin Hardison is beginning his fourth year of college football, his third year at UTEP and his second year as a starter, and as encouraging as his first sophomore year was in 2020, there's more he can do. What Hardison's already done is show special arm talent, leadership, composu re - all the traits he'll need to be the elite quarterback everyone around UTEP thinks he can be. The task now is to translate that into tangibles such as improving on his 54 percent completion percentage, his 5-5 touchdown-interception ratio and the Min ers' 3-5 record.The Miners staff feel they've found their guy, they've put more weapons around him than any UTEP quarterback has had since Aaron Jones was in the backfield and he's been given a year of experience as an FBS starter. That sets up th is season and Hardison is ready to seize it. "I'm focusing on what I can do to execute every week and attack the opponents," Hardison said after Friday's opening practice, which begins the one-week run-in to the New Mexico State opener on Aug. 28. "My go al is to win games, that's stayed the same, but coach (new offensive coordinator Dave) Warner has brought some new things to my game. "I'm excited to take that into this year." - El Paso Times

UTEP's quarterback battle resolved itself in dramatic fashion as Gavin Hardison now has the job. Freshman quarterback TJ Goodwin, who was battling Hardison for the starter spot in a competition that coach Dana Dimel said Saturday was even, wasn't at Sund ay morning's practice. No explanation was given for his absence and no date was set for his return. Coach Dana Dimel explicitly said there were no new positive COVID tests on the team. "Not anything I can talk about right now," Dimel said. When asked if Goodwin was going to transfer, Dimel said, "I'm not going to make any comments about that now."The turn of events leaves Hardison as the starter. He took all the starter reps Saturday and Sunday and Dimel put a positive spin on that. "That's good, that's important for him to start taking over the role of that and unequivocally having that role," Dimel said. "I think our team will feed off that pretty well. Obviously his play has been really good throughout camp and consistent with what he's doing , getting better and better and his checks are rock-solid. "There are a lot of positives with what he's doing and now we'll be looking at the same guy all the time." - El Paso Times
