UNLV defensive tackle Martin Tevaseu is in the San Francisco Bay Area after his 19-year-old sister, Zsorhzinnia, was killed in a car accident early Saturday morning in Oakland, Calif. Two others also died after the Nissan Altima ran off the road and hit some parked cars and a pedestrian, who was hospitalized with broken bones.

It is not known Tevaseu will play in Saturday's 5 p.m. PDT game at New Mexico.

Also, the status of linebackers Starr Fuimaono (ankle) and Ronnie Paulo (shoulder), wide receiver Rodelin Anthony (ankle) and tight end Kyle Watkins (ankle) is unknown. All except Anthony, however, went through a full practice.

Linebacker David Blair (calf) probably won't play.
