Sanford, Western Kentucky’s coach, said his team will use the Miners’ home locker room at the Sun Bowl, while UTEP will dress in the visitors’ room – a change under Price. The Hilltoppers will also stand on what’s usually the Miners’ home sideline, another Price motivational ploy.
But when it comes to UTEP’s Xs and Os, Sanford doesn’t expect a ton of variation from what the Miners did in their first five games under former coach Sean Kugler.
“I don’t anticipate a wholesale change by any stretch of the imagination in schemes on both sides of the ball,” Sanford said Thursday.
