To the many challenges UTEP faces on the offensive line as it opens Conference USA play at UTSA on Saturday, add this: It’s hard to figure what plan they are on.

Plan A involved Greg Long and Derron Gatewood, and that was gone by mid-August.

They’ve reconfigured and patchworked in various ways for four games. Now, they’ll do it again as they cast about to replace Jerrod Brooks, who is having surgery on his knee this week.
