The offensive focus for the UTEP football team, the theme of fall camp, is a search for receiving depth.
So much has been made of what the Miners lost and what they have to replace — 70 percent of their yards and catches from last season at the wideout position departed — and how UTEP fills that will largely dictate what kind of season it has.
The top line there, Plan A, is for Tyrin Smith to make the step from third target to first, Kelly Akharaiya to become the latest instant-impact junior college transfer and Reynaldo Flores to be the reliable possession receiver.
