Kicker Brady Viles earns praise for big game

Related Topics: Sean Kugler, Kickoff

A big bright spot for the UTEP football team against Arizona was the kicking of Brady Viles, who made a 53-yard field goal and had touchbacks on all three kickoffs.

"Kickoff cover, Brady Viles was 100 percent on all touchbacks," coach Sean Kugler said. "They did not get any returns against us. He kicked outstanding. I think you’re starting to see his leg strength show up. And even on PAT/field goal, we had one miss and that was more due to the snap and protection than the kicker. And then you did see his leg strength on the 53-yard field goal, which probably would’ve been good from 63.
