Dana Dimel gets ready for third spring Wochit
Dana Dimel enters his third spring as UTEP's football coach predictably feeling better about the Miners' depth.
This spring, which starts at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at Glory Field for the first of 15 workouts over 39 days, he's giving tangible proof of this belief.
A staple of his first two springs and his first two fall camps has been the lack of contact, and consequently, the lack of a spring game and scrimmages of any kind. That's made it difficult to analyze what progress has been made, particularly on defense.
This spring will provide a contrast as Dimel seeks a jump forward after a pair of 1-11 seasons.
