Walden · Theprospectordaily3 days after UTEP's 2026 game against New Mexico
It’s always tough but my [offensive] line did their best, we were banged up there
Colson · Theprospectordaily3 days after the 7-61 game
Really just because this is our last year and there’s no guarantee [we’ll play together again]
