After a chaotic week, the UNLV football team will take the field against Fresno State on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium for its Mountain West opener.

The Rebels (3-0) were off last week but will undergo a change at quarterback after senior transfer Matthew Sluka left the team in a dispute over name, image and likeness payments. Hajj-Malik Williams is expected to take over with Cameron Friel serving as the backup.

Fresno State (3-1) is one of five Mountain West schools defecting to the new-look Pac-12. The Bulldogs have won three straight, including a 38-21 road win over New Mexico last week.
