UTEP MINERS NEWS

Cade McConnell - Throws TD, INT McConnell went 12-for-22 for 206 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Sam Houston on Wednesday. He also ran four times for 15 yards.

Impact McConnell made his third start in a row, rising from third stringer to starter due to injuries. Like Gavin Hardison (arm), his job is effectively to stay out of the way and not blow it. That helped the Miners win here, but fantasy players are never going to be enthused with McConnell.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • USATODAY.COM

Jostein Clarke - Not on depth chart for Week 9 Clarke (undisclosed) is not listed in the depth chart ahead of Wednesday's game at Sam Houston.

Impact Clarke has been a non-factor in the passing attack for UTEP this season, racking up just three catches for 44 yards and a score throughout the season. If the wideout is ruled out against Sam Houston, which will likely be the case, then his next chance to play would come against Western Kentucky on Nov. 4.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Bellon - Doesn't appear in depth chart Bellon (leg) is not listed in the depth chart ahead of Wednesday's game at Sam Houston.

Impact Bellon participated in UTEP's pregame warmups against New Mexico State last week, so he looked like he was set to return from his three-game absence due to a leg injury, but instead, he has now spent four games sidelined -- and his removal from the depth chart suggests he won't play against Sam Houston, either. If that's the case, then his next chance to play would come against Western Kentucky on Nov. 4.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Jeremiah Ballard - Nets 75 yards Ballard caught five passes for 75 yards versus NMSU on Wednesday.

Impact Ballard has proven a nice complementary receiver, as he has at least 48 yards in five of his last six games. The issue is that he only has one touchdown all season, and only had one all of last year as well.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Torrance Burgess Jr. - Contributes in passing game Burgess ran eight times for 25 yards and had four catches for 62 yards against NMSU on Wednesday.

Impact Burgess has three games with at least three catches and 30 yards, so he can contribute through the air. Deion Hankins has been getting more carries recently, but Burgess is still getting double-digit touches every game, because the passing offense is highly limited.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Deion Hankins - Rushes for 120 yards Hankins ran 16 times for 120 yards and added two catches for 13 yards versus NMSU on Wednesday.

Impact Hankins has grabbed the lead-back role for the Miners the last few weeks, and has done well with it. He's run for 265 yards and a touchdown over his last three games.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cade McConnell - Barely makes an impact in start McConnell went 15-for-32 for 179 yards against NMSU on Wednesday.

Impact McConnell did fine in his first start for the Miners with Gavin Hardison (undisclosed) and Jake McNamara (concussion) out, but this time, he was almost invisible. Completing less than half of your passes against NMSU and contributing no touchdowns is not going to keep McConnell in the job long.

Marcus Bellon - Not dressed Wednesday Bellon (leg) is not participating in Wednesday's game versus New Mexico State, Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.

Impact Bellon participated in UTEP's pregame warmups, so he looked like he was set to return from his three-game absence due to a leg injury. However, it appears he wasn't quite ready to suit up again yet, as he was spotted in street clothes while on the Miners' sideline in the first quarter. Bellon's next chance to play will come in the Wednesday, Oct. 25 matchup at Sam Houston.

Tyrin Smith - Not seen in pregame warmups Smith (undisclosed) was not spotted on the field during pregame warmups ahead of Wednesday's game versus New Mexico State, UTEP Zay of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.

Impact Smith, who comes into Wednesday with a questionable designation, was not spotted on the field during pregame warmups. This is not a good sign for his chances to play for the first time since Week 3. In his four games this season, Smith caught 19 passes (on 27 targets) for 191 yards and a touchdown.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gavin Hardison - Dressed in street clothes Hardison (arm) was seen in street clothes during warmups and will not play during Wednesday's game against NM State, Colin Deaver of KTSM 9 Newsreports.

Impact This will be the third consecutive game Hardison misses to injury. In his absence, Cade McConnell will earn the start against the Aggies. The senior quarterback next chance to suit up will be for next week's matchup against Sam Houston.
