Notes: UTEP changes practice routine for FAU

Sean Kugler said his team is changing up its workout routine this week to conserve energy for the long trip to Florida Atlantic — and that will mean no pads in Wednesday's workout.

The team is also leaving Thursday afternoon for Boca Raton instead of the usual Friday morning departure for road games.

"We'll probably get there on Thursday night, give the kids a snack and put them to bed," Kugler said. "We'll practice Friday at Florida Atlantic and get our feet up under us and we're probably going to change practice routine a little bit this week, so we'll make sure we're fresh for back-to-back road trips against FAU and Rice.
