UTEP football: Miners using off week to get healthy, make progress

At a winless (0-6) record and coming off their closest loss yet, a heartbreaking 27-24 finish against North Texas, the Miners have used this week to regroup, get healthy and focus on the second half of their schedule. But before the Miners look toward LA Tech on Oct. 20, the Miners have to try and fix some recurring issues and fine tune what they have already. 

They’ll start with the quarterback situation. Kai Locksley has been nursing an ankle injury that sidelined him against North Texas. Locksley was limited in practice last week duringpreparation for North Texas, and will aim to return completely next week. However, nothing is set in stone.
