AUG 30 CONFERENCE USA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: UTEP S Dy'Vonne Inyang led the Miner defense with six total tackles, including four solo stops, as the Miners snapped a three-game losing streak against the Aggies in the Battle of I-10 rivalry. The six tackles for Inyang tied a career-high mark for the veteran safety, who last tallied six tackles in UTEP's game at Charlotte in 2020. As a whole, Inyang led a defensive unit that held New Mexico State to its lowest point total since scoring three points at Ole Miss on Nov. 9, 2019. The three points scored by the Aggies marked the lowest point total in a home game for the Aggies since they lost, 59-0, to Boise State on Oct. 2, 2010 in Las Cruces. - Conference USA Football

08/23/21 - Gavin Hardison, rSr/2024, Texas-El Paso, 6-2, 206 (DS#25 QB) + More +

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 having 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

08/05/21 - Praise Amaewhule, rSr/2024, Texas-El Paso, 6-2, 259 (DS#33 DE) + More +

Historically, whenever the UTEP football team has changed defensive schemes and coordinators, the idea was to find a better way to hide the defensive line. In that way, the offseason hiring of new coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto represents a radical new direction for the Miners. A year after landing a load of new talent on the defensive line to compliment veteran star defensive end Praise Amaewhule, UTEP is looking for ways to get its defensive front to the front and center.

They are building around the line, not away from it. "It's hard to find d-linemen," coach Dana Dimel said. "I'm excited about the development of our defensive linemen, how fortunate we've been. Now that we have those top, marquee players, you want to see a Jadrian Taylor develop, (Kelton) Moss had a good year to compliment Keenan (Stewart) and Praise. "What we're working on now is developing that second group." That's because the first group is now so proven, starting with Amaewhule. Always a prodigious talent, he broke through as a sophomore last season, getting seven sacks in eight games while earning second-team All-Conference USA. And suddenly there was talent alongside him, as a trio of first-year junior college transfers in end Jadrian Taylor and tackles Keenan Moss and Kelton Stewart gave UTEP punch in the front that had been missing for decades. Amaewhule is still listed as a sophomore, but he's a leader now and sees the transformation across the line. - 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, composure - 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 Miners' 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 this 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 goal 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
