UTEP quarterbacks meet with Derek Carr

If UTEP's offense goes like it's supposed to go, the idea is that it will look similar to what the Las Vegas Raiders run.

That would make Raiders quarterback Derek Carr a source worth mining, and to that end, last Wednesday's Zoom meeting with UTEP quarterbacks and offensive coordinator Mike Canalas was most memorable

The seventh-year pro planned to spend 30 minutes talking with the Miner group, which ended up being 90 minutes they won't forget.

Former UTEP quarterback Brandon Jones, like Carr a graduate and former star quarterback at Bakerfield Christian High School and a personal friend of Carr, was able to help line it up.
