For whatever problems the UTEP defense has had through the years, one area where they’ve typically excelled is the safety position.

They usually go into the year with a good idea of what they want to do there, then get it done.

The Miners have big expectations to reach at safety, and even though they have to replace an anchor of the defense in the graduated Kahani Smith, UTEP is as confident as ever safety will be a strength.
