Miners host Kickoff Luncheon before start of season

The UTEP Miners Football team held its annual kickoff Luncheon Friday. The Miners play each of their first three games on the road which will be a great test to see how improved the team is from last season.

Head Coach Sean Kugler said he is looking forward to see how his squad performs against one of the best teams in the country.

“We’ve got a tough chore against us, going up to Arkansas against one of the best teams in the country,” Kugler said. “They’re one of the teams that finished up as, probably, one of the best teams in the country. They’re very physical. It’ll be a great litmus test to see where we are as a program because we’re gonna have our hands full.”

The Miners take on the Razorbacks on the road Sept. 5.
