UTEP Controls Our Road To The Playoffs! College Football 25 Campus Tour Ep #47

campus tour crew welcome back everybody here on our journey to get a win with every team in college football 25 and today that brings us to El Paso uh the University of Texas El Paso the miners uh this one's going to be tough this going to be a very very difficult one uh the only things I know about uh UTEP and just El Paso in general number one Aaron Jones Packers Legend don't care if he's on the Vikings always will be Packers Legend I will always love that man number two uh I actually added him back here a few episodes ago I you probably can't even see Eddie Eddie Guerrero the lasso from Al Paso one of my favorites of all time uh that is about it I know they are I think it's 71 now so I'm playing this uh after the Patch came through so they update a lot of The rosters a lot of overall changes a lot of tier changes which is was fantastic news we can talk about that in just a second uh UTP though I don't think they got that much better let's go check take a look at the depth chart and see what we got so quarterback um I don't see there doesn't seem to be too much a difference between these two I mean he's plus three speed same overall so probably a little less throwing but I mean I'll probably just keep McConnell in here I kind of want to put pickles in just because JP pickles fantastic name uh but 65 overall I we'll stick with one of our 74s uh halfbacks let's see any abilities or anything no we'll probably just stick with uh stick with Jackson here 58 200 that's tiny 61 175 okay um I think we'll just stick with Jackson 76 overall 88 uh he's got a little better awareness better break tackling better Trucking yeah yeah we'll just stick with Jackson wide receivers okay some 90 speeds at least 90 91 speed 90 90 as long as we get three 90 plus speeds 57 174 God this is a this team's tiny 511 175 510 195 very small wide receivers but decent enough speed hopefully hopefully that'll be enough for us tight end yeah not much offensive line 74 with an ability 66 62 could be a 64 77 with an ability and 74 I mean it's pretty in line with what we've been seeing recently uh on these offensive lines it's could be better could be worse it could be it could be worse we got a couple with abilities couple decent ones so we'll see how they hold up defensively Right End Nothing Left End I mean right end though Maurice West Morland 86 overall no abilities which is a bit of a bummer but very good though 86 overall 83 speed great to have a good pass rusher D tackles 74 72 those are pretty uh pretty standard linebackers 87 speed okay only 69 overall he's from London that's pretty cool too and super fast so we like that a lot middle linebackers oh 68 Speed on middle linebacker goodness gracious friendo that's I think that's got to be the slowest middle linebacker we've ever seen it's got to be just has to be we'll definitely be putting him taking him out putting in 84 speed Jak Hall here for middle linebacker right outside 90 speed wow okay so outside the starting middle linebacker fantastic speed across the board on linebackers like I'm fine keeping the linebackers actually in uh considering who we got here cornerbacks 8 89 88 88 I mean that could be that could be a lot worse it's not good but it could be a lot a lot worse free safety 90 speed with a 94 speed hiding back here so we could put him somewhere too Brandon Jones strong safety 90 94 speed wow so actually good fast safeties which we never see down here at tier five so okay so the secondary is not bad good speed at linebackers the offense I don't know what we're going to do I don't have a sing no clue this is be a tough tough game for us but you T the miners let's go get it done campus tour University Texas El Paso let's get it and so I'm recording this on Thursday the day they actually pushed through a patch earlier this morning and a big thing they changed was uh Team tiers so tier five we can go down here now uh Air Force they were tier three which was absurd before they're down to tier five they just you know kind of moved everybody around a little bit Army's here in tier five they tried to balance it out a lot more and I think they did a fantastic job you know tier 2 we only had five teams in before they moved some teams down from tier one now they're in tier two so I think overall it's going to be more balanced hopefully we're going to find games especially considering we're UTEP we're really hoping to find a game at least in our tier worst case tier four and we'll give it a shot actually one more thing really quick uh this came up on our last stream on Saturday uh people might not be aware when you're searching for games online change your search settings to go to whatever tier I do whatever tier my team is in and that keeps us from just finding Alabama and Texas and Ohio state every single game that's how we're playing such a wide variety of teams uh playing against us so definitely 100% recommend especially if you're using a lower tier team switch your search settings to whatever tier that team is in and it's going to try to find you a match in that tier and while we're looking for a game my favorite time to remind you guys if you could do me a huge favor just hit that like button right down below drop a comment on a team you want to see here on the campus tour and of course subscribe to the channel where we are on the road to 1,000 subscribers we just we're right around 700 right now which even that is hard for me to believe uh I think we can get to a th000 by the end of September that is going to be our goal and I actually think what we're going to do is every team I lose with we're going to do a big redeem Army oh how are we going to tackle Army how are we going to tackle Army um every team we lose with I'm going to do a redeem stream but I kind of want to wait until we get to th000 subscribers and then we just do one huge stream with however many teams that ends up being it might be a lot but that's kind of what I'm thinking of doing right now okay UTEP versus army I have no idea how we're going to tackle these boys but let's give it a shot well we have three three stacks that is a great start and he's not even coming out in flexbone so that is good as well we should have I don't I think we have our linebackers in here that we want but I could be totally wrong good hit though good hit to get us started I don't remember if Smith is who we want in there yeah no we're good we're good we're good Smith is at 94 speed safety so that'll be our user here he's staying in pistol which again we like this a lot better than flexbone considering the team we got here force him back inside go make your tackles boys go make your tackles boys now he's coming out in some gun spread he's going to have that oh no he's not no he's not no he's not I thought he was going to have that clearing but he threw it too early utap way to get us started here miners all right now what do we have on offense oh we got three versions of spread I know I've run spread a lot but I'm using the UTEP miners I'm going to run some spread with this [Laughter] team I feel no shame game running spread even though we've been doing it quite a bit I'm just going to take what we can get we're UTEP okay okay I mean definitely a good thing about matching up against armies they're defense isn't very good like they're not very fast and neither are we on offense uh so that's Obviously good for us that we should still be able to get open at least a little bit and we're just going to run this up the middle again I think we should be able to get this against this defensive look I would have to imagine thir inches we're just going to hurry up and do it again I'm just going to do the same exact thing again I don't think he's going to be able to stop it I just don't think you're going to be able to stop a classic inside Zone just not going be able to stop it out of dime sorry bud sorry bud the UTEP miners on the board first here in West point 7 nothing lead let's go boys here's some Flex bone here we go we should have our defensive settings how we want it here oh he's still passing I know that play I know X dig I know X dig now little Flex bone close again we just uh pinch our defensive line spread our linebackers we have our settings how we like them uh so our the computer will go go after the quarterback first and then okay okay uh so they focus on the quarterback first then on the pitch they dive after the um the running back so defensive read key conservative focus on QB position pitch key aggressive focus on the pitch op pitch option now we're just getting the whole Flex bone tour yeah we're just not getting any pressure which is tough he's going to playmaker somebody up the field just go get him go get him it switch sticked me on I tried to just send him but a little Flex bone tight I kind of want it should start putting some contains or something out there to try to get a little bit of more pressure on him cuz he's just standing back there for days it's probably would be a good idea I'm not going to right now but see get in there oh overran it yep yep yep yep yep nothing new there nothing do there no surprise there getting getting in there and then just leaving It Wide Open oh man this pistol train what do we want to do against that we're just go to a more standard nickel here just to keep four rushing more than anything else so he's just been getting way too much time get there Smith get there Smith it looked like it was going to be open I think that wasn't that was not a good throw but luckily we were able to get back there get underneath it get that ball back let's go miners God that sounds weird to say connection's been lost we're taking that as a rage quit he got in he turned it over twice gave up touchdown through a pick in the end zone connection's been lost that counts as a win for UTEP we are going to do a bonus game here of course but UTEP is off the board they're done bonus game UTEP miners coming right up and an important note here I'm going to throw in before we get in this game if we win another game here with UTEP we're going to the playoffs in the playoffs there is no request board okay that we're acting like that doesn't exist we're going to spin the conference wheel we're going to spin the te team wheel when it comes to playoffs I got to trust in the wheel so the crests would start at the start of next season unless we win unless we lose this game then none of it matters but if we win we're in the playoffs and it's going to be all up to the wheel on who we use in the playoffs and thankfully this is a bonus game because we matched up against Vanderbilt who is going to be I think there quarterback's like 95 speed that's going to be very difficult for you to try to contain but hey it's a bonus game doesn't really matter UT's already off the board let's see if we can't go and knock off Vanderbilt now too all right I will say UTEP has a pretty cool looking uh kickoff view here um I assume this is the stadium they host a oh yeah that looks awesome uh they host that bowl game in every year and the weather seems to always just be miserable sure looks nice now though all right oh that's a different quarterback that's not their usual their fast one interesting he's coming out and flipping stuff already yeah this is going to be a tough game for us I think this might be a tough game for for the old UTEP miners yeah now he put in the fast quarterback now we got the Speedy guy out there so it's just going to be a lot of like jet sweeps and oh it was just a run get in there boys get in there UTEP boys those are quite the uh quite the uniforms that UTEP UTEP rocks here against Vanderbilt specifically I think I'm not going to be pinching our deal line unless he starts running up the middle a lot I think we just got to do contains and keep them spread CU I think we got to worry about that quarterback running and Jet sweeps yeah and we're going to be staying in our cover three drop yeah see there he goes tried to send that guy after him get the ball it's so hard to get fumbles on cord RX it is so difficult so maybe if I pinch them and do contains maybe I don't know where so we got to watch the Jet Sweep that's a fake it is just a run again and that D tackle is doing a good job on that Center we like to see that maybe we'll try that pinch the line still put contains spread our linebackers and then he's just running he's he Dives and we go and hit him and no no problem so maybe we do cover four then and oh now now we're going to Pistol a little pistol Full House I love it I love it I love seeing this kind of stuff we still got to watch that Johnson but I think we're what we're eventually going to do is come out and some cover four cuz that has a QB spy and then I will take the guy that is not the Spy the mid the mid Zone to go watch and then hope the keep be I can go make a play so Smith is the QB spy so I'd take Hopkins and try to get you know we'll just come down here at the snap I could have blitzed my user actually would have been a little better we were close we were close that was a good defensive effort so it's yes okay just want to make sure we're on the mid read which is always going to be the linebacker on the side of the slot Corner then we're going to Blitz our user get a in a pass rush spot and hope these guys can get in a little bit better and we're staying on this go get them go get them you there's that West Morland there you are we called you out earlier good play buddy same thing here and then now our 94 speed is going to be the QB spy which we like that a lot can we get outside please somebody okay okay kept him to like nine we'll take that we'll take whatever we can get is it another Jet Sweep or a fake it was a fake we're still out there we're still out there just make your tackles wrap them up got them on fourth down again all right we got to watch that quarterback he's going to try just running oh okay okay okay we got tackles eventually we got tackles I was just so concerned about that quarterback taking off I just I mean it wasn't my flat anyway but he was in like a quarter flat so he wasn't really watching the the hard Flats all right all right nope it'll just carry us right in he'll just carry us right in really I didn't feel too bad about her defense though I think against this offense I think we can get stops I don't know if we're going to be able to score very well but we'll see we're still just me running spread here I think is going to be the idea we'll just take the little drag de we'll take those we are just fine with those so he's running press almost just looks like Twan under y should get open if that's what it is no it's not hit the halfback send him out on a streak out of the back field we're not going to be fast enough to outrun anybody but that's still a good play still a good play come on UT he's he's still coming out impr pressed let's see is he blitzing that slot Corner again no can we run no can we lob this out here no I'm not sure what I was thinking on that throw I'm going to be honest with you come on Big Boy come on big boy get out there big boy good effort big boy I'm not sure what I thought there I thought um if that outside receiver I think he got jammed a little too much cuz I was hoping he was going to get more downfield and then that little corner could get underneath him but that is not how that worked out now now he's just coming out in goal line all right fumble fumble fumble oh man I would have taken that back I would have taken that obviously and maybe we just stay in kind of a regular nickel here and then contain and there he goes with that Johnson again just snap and just run right up the middle so I'm going to put a um what was I saying a QB spy we put a QB spy on our defensive end that time to try to watch that and he threw it right at us I just was trying to think of words to say instead of actually paying attention to what was happening he's coming out in the field goal this is no gimme this is no gimme here brother careful with this one all right no harm no foul our ball back still down three still or still down seven all three time outs with a minute to go let's go boys plenty of time for us to go get on the board here take the halfback wide open in the flats over here we we'll get out of bounds sure we'll get out of [Applause] bounds I come back out and Y cross and just put a little streak on our halfback see what we get here uh not much our halfback kind of got stuck back there but that was still a nice little Play We Found a little room with that quarterback somehow somehow all right let's go boys there's just nothing open so he's shaded underneath I think he is just running two man under with like shaded underneath man which it's two man under it's going to be shaded underneath that's what it looks like so I'm actually going to put a Texas route on our halfback here I was throwing to that post over the middle to a I'm not sure if that was actually open or not so I'm going to send b deep and we're just going to look for the zig on a yep yep yep first down fourth and inches get out of here get out of here with fourth and inches yeah we're going for it I can't imagine this is going to be man again but if it is we're going to put another zigg on a have that or the Texas route he dropped it it was man hit him right oh and he drops it oh no you tap come on boys we're going to come out in our cover three with a QB spy here again just that's okay just try to keep him from being able to just run right up the Middle with his quarterback immediately and same thing thing we're staying out here we'll take that do we have time do we have time block block block we don't need time we don't need time we don't need time the user pick six for UTP is going to tie us up before halim what a play for the miners hit him with a little dance let's tie this up come on yes he's just been coming out two man under and usering like the defensive end I mean we should be able to move the ball against this at least somewhat here we certainly should be able to and yeah we can just take it slow here Zig routes Texas routes on the halfback those kind of things that was a very slow Zig route very very slow developing but hey it got open I'll just come back out and run here again I mean against this front we should be ble to run all right I was hoping I could squeeze past his user there but yeah we should be able to run okay this is a bit of a different look than what he's been in let's see is it still just man yep so we can hit the out Rod over there perfect stay in Juke him out a little bit perfect stuff UTEP come on boys if he's still in man I'm going to put x on a streak but I don't really trust him we're probably just looking for our running back or why yeah just float it out to the running back they're not going to keep up with you on that little drag not can just hang on to the ball hang on to the ball they're not going to keep up with you buddy now we're just going to come out and run just go there you go I was just waiting for our guard to get to the second level there it took him a little bit but that's fine I think I want to do this x follow again I'm going to we're probably looking for the halfback y again get why right in that little Gap fight your way in you into the end zone taking the lead against Vander built let's go come on boys good drive we're I'm going to stay in our cover three with the QB spy defense that we've been doing here H up Dunson Dunson we put him in because he's 90 speed but he's like a 60 something overall he cannot tackle very well back to Jet sweeps yep okay we're out here we're out here overran it okay okay we were out there to be fair we were out there then it went South but we were out there and I keep QB spy B because I want to keep that West Morland rushing our other defensive end he's already got a couple sacks in this game we definitely want to make sure he's always rushing the passer so that's why we're always putting our end on the right into a QBC spy so West Morland can always be rushing the passer and then we're on our 90sp speed Dunson Blitz our user getting a pass for spot so they still think four people are rushing and can we recover get back there Dunson oh good hit good hit Dunson we like to see that ah such a slow Reaction Time Dunson so slow big hits no try to line up a hit stick you got to try okay so I'm switching to cover two hard flat now I think this should help with the jet sweeps a little more hopefully hopefully it'll keep our Corners down by the line of scrimmage a little better but not going to help a ton if we can't get off too many blocks [Applause] here that's oh nope it was a pass I say oh that's play action I mean it was a run I still in my head thought it was a pass so same thing cover two hard flat it is a Jet Sweep oh we God we were out there then just ran straight into the block ran straight into the block just jet sweeps just jet sweeps is just killing us just these dang jet sweeps man that's not one that defensive lines getting in there pretty well on those little fake ones though we love seeing that now come out pistol Full House so we're in our cover three but we're shaded underneath so we can get hard flats and yeah you can we're fine with him running a little clock here oh overran it with him again all right now we can take a timeout now we can take a timeout third and goal come on little double mug tried to defend that we did we defended the QB sneak it old double mug fourth and goal come on now another one another one another one little QB sneak defense from the UTEP miners come on now boys just get it out to the drag quick just try to buy us a little time and maybe we'll do a little better maybe we will do a little bit better there Smith get on out there buddy get on out there that play was weird I called y follow but it didn't look right maybe it was just cuz where we were on the field but we'll take it let's go I'll just run yeah we just run this one cut it back a little bit that's fine so he's down to one timeout we're going come back on this um whatever it's called y follow get to the halfback oh they bumped each other oh they bumped each other that was going to be so [Music] open so if this this same play I actually need to stem you up just once and we should be able to get a first down here to y or the pass rush will come in we throw a dline interception that works too that's good too that works too we knew the big Blitz was coming so that was definitely risky that's definitely the jet just get out here try to take up some blocking oh man now we're in it we're in it now we are in it now screen screen screen bring him down boys bring him down boys come on now way to get out there Dunson move Dunson over there just in case it's the nope it was the fake he's got that wide open I left it I left it I left it that was me that was 100% me I left that wide open now we're going for two huh bold [Music] bold go get him why are we just standing there why are we just standing there I tried to send them but it was too late okay we got 35 seconds we only got one timeout but that's enough time to get into field goal range you got to believe in our boys believe in our boys he's coming on prevent already that can't be what you're supposed to do here we'll just take the drag he's got to step on the guy and get out of bounds God that shaded underneath man is just killing me this a shaded underneath man let's get out to our halfback beautiful beautiful beautiful 23 seconds now let's go let's go let's go boys just like one more first down and we've got a chance here secure catch secure catch secure catch at let's go at the 21 oh my God come on now come on now I think we run one more play get this to the middle of the field and then take our timeout just get down get down get down time out utap set ourselves up we got a shot field goal for the win all right come on it's got to be good it's got to be good it's got to be good the UT miners knock off Vanderbilt we are 2 and 0 with the University of Texas El Paso not what I would have guessed
