UTEP will have a new kicker next season.
Transitioning to a new one after four years of the steady Jay Mattox isn't the most pleasant of thoughts, and unless punter Alan Luna wins an open competition — not the desired result — that kicker will be making a UTEP debut in September.
That kicker might not be on the roster right now — no potential newcomer has even committed to the Miners — but then again the kicker might be on the roster.
What Andrew Zubia and Jason Filley have is an opportunity, which is what spring is supposed to be about.
