EL PASO, Texas – Football is back!
We’ve been counting down the days for several issues now and we can finally say that it feels good to be back in season.
As part of our undying love for Miner football, we get the season started with a feature on Andre Patterson and the defense he runs. Undoubtedly the unit got better last year, but what will he do to continue the positive trend into this season.
Not to be forgotten are two other fall sports. Gus talks about the women’s soccer team and breaks down what it will take for them to be successful this season while Rebecca features a former volleyball player and her progression from athlete to coach.
UTEP66 and Josh bring us two great columns about football and basketball receptively.
We’re curious to hear what you think and what you would like to see in the magazine as we move forward. Send us an email (show@minerillustrated.com) and have your voice heard.

Concerned about the offense, really…..CMP came in and during his first year retooled the offense with players he did not know and BAM…bowl game, currently he has players he knows and has worked with for a few years now other than the QB and people are conerned, please, just look at the offensive numbers UTEP has recorded since CMP has been here, many of the games lost have been because of a weak D, not to say mistakes had been made offensively, but when you are trying to outscore other teams rather than keeping them from the endzone, well it makes it tough be consistent.
I don’t believe the offense will struggle very much.
GO MINERS!!!
Wow, what a great article pertaining to the defensive philosophy. It is exciting to view an aggressive defense week in and week out. I unlike a few others predict a bowl appearance once again for the Miners. As a few coaches departed during the off season it appears to have only strengthen the staff and players. The newly arrived coaches bring not only vital experience but a beacon of hope for the upcoming season. Although UTEP may not win them all, it appears Coach Patterson will introduce an aggressive attack plan and entertaining season. I am confident the Miners will capture the six wins needed to appear in another bowl game. Go Miners!
