Fields, Ross work in with UTEP football team Bret Bloomquist, Wochit
At times in this extraordinary August, Dana Dimel has felt like more of a pro coach navigating preseason than UTEP's coach getting the Miners ready for Houston Baptist.
"It feels like we're managing an NFL roster right now," Dimel said. "We're bringing in a lot of guys, but they are guys who can play the game of football."
Since the beginning of fall camp UTEP has added three potential rotation players in receiver Devaughn Cooper, cornerback Ykili Smith and tailback Joshua Fields.
