Uncertainty is the best way to sum up the world of college football in one word at the moment. As for the UTEP football program it is trying to move past uncertainty and start the 2020 football season as planned before the current pandemic sent college athletics into a limbo.

UTEP Athletic director Jim Senter and football head coach Dana Dimel addressed the media via a zoom call Thursday afternoon to provide an insight on where the program sits as far as schedule changes, dealing with COVID-19 cases, and more.

In what was a scheduled 12 game scheduled slated to open at the Sun Bowl on September 5 against Tech Texas has now been reduced to a nine-game season with non-conference games against Tech, Nevada, and New Mexico State being axed.
