In an up-and-down 2015, there was one area where UTEP was consistently poor. When the other team kicked the ball, good things rarely ensued.
For the punt return team, that continued a string of futility that had gone on long enough that UTEP went the junior college route to fix it, only to see Terry Juniel miss the season to injury.
For the kickoff return team, it was a surprising drop off after an extended run as one of the nation's better units.
Both need fixing, both have an intriguing cast of characters who represent an upgrade in talent and explosiveness.
