UTEP ready for Texas Tech test Bret Bloomquist, El Paso Times
Pretty special
UTEP's big bright spot in its season-opening victory against Houston Baptist was its special teams, which were flawless other than a muffed punt.
Kicker Gavin Baechle, making his collegiate debut as a starting placekicker, was 3-for-3 on field goals, including a fourth-quarter game winner, and had touchbacks on four of five kickoffs.
That unit will have to be outstanding for the Miners to have a chance against a Tech team that didn't have any breakdowns in its opening win against Montana State.
