Junior running back Adonis Smith has some familiarity with UNLV’s opening opponent. He played at Northwestern for two football seasons before transferring last year, and he was on Wildcats teams that went 2-0 against Big Ten Conference rival Minnesota. UNLV plays at Minnesota on Aug. 29.
As a senior on his fourth tour of duty in this eastern Nevada town, UNLV linebacker Tim Hasson learned a long time ago he better get his sleep.

Tim Hauck was playing in 1997 for the Seattle Seahawks when he was blindsided during a punt return by a Denver Bronco. Shortly into the second half, he asked a fellow safety what had been happening in the game. But even if Hauck’s short-term memory was gone, no way he was going to the bench.
