The UTEP football team is like so many Americans this week, in that their schedule is all off because of the holidays.
With a Friday game at UAB, the Miners have one fewer day of practice which changes the entire week of preparation.
Tuesday's practice was a cross between a normal Tuesday and a normal Wednesday practice as the Miners tried to squeeze two days into one. This is the only day in full pads and Dimel felt quite a bit got done.
"What we did was more reps of good against good because we're missing out on a padded day this week," Dimel said.
