A big issue for the UTEP football team this week is morale, and nothing other than winning does more on that front than the annual bye-week scout team scrimmage.
That arrived Wednesday and it looked like it always does.
The scouts were flying around, getting in occasional shoving matches, but as loud as they were, they were drowned out by the regulars on the sidelines, who were even more animated in their cheering and celebrations after every play.
Afterward it was coach Sean Kugler shouting to the scouts about how he loved their energy and passion.
