EL PASO - The UTEP football team
ended its spring season under first year head coach Sean Kugler before a crowd of 2,581,
the largest attendance since the 2004 campaign.
"I was pleased with the overall effort," said
Kugler. "I was proud of the team. The effort from the entire group was
outstanding throughout the spring."
The Miners held a situation-like scrimmage including short
yardage and goal line settings.
Quarterback Blaire Sullivan finished 4-of-7 for 56
yards and an interception to A.J. Ropati. Sullivan also rambled
for 17 yards including a 14-yard touchdown run.
Senior Carson Meger connected on 7-of-10 for
52 yards and redshirt freshman Garrett Simpson was 3-of-5 for 32 yards
and had UTEP's two passing touchdowns of the scrimmage.
UTEP made use of its tight ends as Craig Wenrick hauled in 2-of-3 passes
for 35 yards and Eric Tomlinson finished with a 16-yard
reception.
"I really like our tight ends," Kulger said. "All
four of them bring unique qualities that I think will help us."
Running back Nathan Jeffery rushed 12 times for 40
yards and a touchdown and Laquintus Dowellpicked
up 35 yards on five carries.
