UTEPโs defense forced multiple turnovers in the spring game on Saturday at the Sun Bowl.
The offense, along with head coach Scotty Walden, wasn't happy with that, especially with ball security being a major point of emphasis this spring.
Overall, the spring game served as a valuable evaluation tool for the Miners as they continue preparations for the 2026 season.
