A good portion of the team transferred to UTEP this offseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTEP\u2019s transfer class is ranked third in CUSA, per 247Sports. Several of those players are from Austin Peay, and the Miners added some former Power Four players as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At quarterback, Cade McConnell is back after leading the team with 1,437 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions on a 53.5% completion rate. But others, like former Austin Peay signal caller Skyler Locklear, could compete for the job as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTEP\u2019s two leading rushers in 2023, Deion Hankins and Torrance Burgess Jr., both transferred to Texas State this offseason. Jevon Jackson, a former FCS All-American while at Austin Peay, and former TCU running back Corey Wren could be in the mix for work out of the backfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTEP\u2019s leading receiver in 2023, Kelly Akharaiyi, is also gone after transferring to Mississippi State. In fact, UTEP\u2019s top four receivers from last year are no longer on the team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Austin Peay transfers Trey Goodman \u2013 a former All-United Athletic Conference first teamer \u2013 Kenny Odom, Ashton Nickelberry, and Kam Thomas as well as Eastern Kentucky transfer Jaden Smith could see a good number of targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTEP was solid defensively last year, allowing 386.9 yards per game which was the third-fewest in CUSA. But the Miners also lost some talent on that side of the ball, like Tyrice Knight who led the team with 140 tackles but is now in the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Miners do still have some playmakers on defense. Maurice Westmoreland tied for second in Conference USA with 7.5 sacks and tied for fifth with 10.5 tackles for loss while contributing 37 total tackles. Defensive back Josiah Allen is UTEP\u2019s leading returning tackler after recording 41 tackles and five pass breakups in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/betmgm-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"147\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"promo-page-banner\" title=\"PROMO-BANNER-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-300x41.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-768x105.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-1024x139.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-750x102.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2024-utep-football-season-prediction\">2024 UTEP Football Season Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I predict UTEP won\u2019t win Conference USA but will win at least five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t expect the Miners to have a winning record this year. However, I do think they\u2019re capable of making some noise in CUSA play and maybe even reaching a bowl game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t foresee UTEP beating Nebraska, Liberty, Colorado State, Western Kentucky, or Tennessee. But I believe the Miners have a shot to win every other game on their schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I were to specifically point to five winnable games for UTEP, I would look to Sam Houston, FIU, Middle Tennessee, and Kennesaw State \u2013 which are all home CUSA games for UTEP \u2013 as well as New Mexico State to end the season. But I also don\u2019t rule out UTEP beating Louisiana Tech, which would give the Miners six wins and bowl eligibility. That would be a major feat in the first season of Walden\u2019s tenure as head coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There weren\u2019t too many bright spots for UTEP last season.
