UNLV Football
Given UNLV’s struggles in football over the past quarter-century, it’s easy to forget – or fail to realize – that some outstanding players have played for the Rebels.
UNLV’s starting lineup was mostly settled before preseason practices began in Ely. At quarterback, redshirt freshman Nick Sherry’s play made the announcement he won the starting job almost anticlimactic. But Coach Bobby Hauck said that doesn’t mean questions don’t exist ahead of the team’s opener against Minnesota on Aug. 30 at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Sophomore Marcus Sullivan stood on the sideline in a blue injury jersey as senior Eric Johnson paced back and forth clutching his left hamstring.

UNLV football coach Bobby Hauck has chosen redshirt freshman Nick Sherry to be UNLV’s starting quarterback over junior Caleb Herring.
Speaking to strong safety Peni Vea three days ago, coach Bobby Hauck told him, “I can’t believe you broke my heart two years ago.”
