UNLV Football
Harvey Hyde, the coach of the 1984 UNLV football team that will be inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame on Friday night, used to be a bit of a pirate. In the colorful, “aye matey, arrrrgh ye comin’ along for the ride?” sense, not the pillaging and plundering sense, though the Rebels of his era certainly pillaged and plundered Cal State Fullerton and San Jose State and some of those other teams.
The Bulldogs (5-0) dominated the Rebels (1-5) tonight in a nonconference game in Ruston, La. The Rebels play UNR next Saturday in the annual Battle of the Fremont Cannon at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Sonny Dykes was interested in becoming UNLV’s football coach when the position came open in late 2009, and he had a pretty good connection.
Some college football teams can be on the wrong side of four or five critical plays each game and still win comfortably. UNLV can’t.
Trailing by seven entering the fourth quarter, UNLV was right there with a chance to upset Utah State and end its long, dreadful road losing streak. But the truth was the Rebels already had their chance – and they blew it.
