UTEP Week Pressers

While it always feels good to know there is "the guy" who is a clear cut step above the rest, I find myself entirely unconcerned about our four backs on the depth chart. All of our best rushing seasons in modern memory have had multiple dudes able to get it done.

'06 had Lucky, Jackson, Glenn and Wilson, with different guys getting hot at different times throughout the season.

'08 had Lucky as THE guy, but by the end of the season Helu emerged as the top dude with Castille as a bona fide bruiser.

'10-13 at any given time had at least three viable dudes between Helu, Burkhead, Abdullah, Heard, Green, Cross, etc.

This!!!

RB is one position that it doesn't bother me that we don't have a clear RB1.  Would it be nice if we had one that showed he was an absolute stud?  Sure.  But, RB by committee is fine.

Having a kicker by committee is far more concerning than having a runningback by committee.

They sort of F'ed thinking that Westside K was some amazing kicker.  

Your kicker, from here on out, should come from JC, FCS, one of the farm schools like MAC or Purdue or NW...

No need to recruit freshmen kickers.

Yep, looking for the next Adi Kunalic and Alex Henery or Brett Maher.  Even one of those guys I remember as an old fart that seemed to be successful at their school for 37 years. R.D. Lashar at OU or Carlos Huerta at Miami.

Yes, buy one with some experience and real tape to prove what he can do.
