When UNLV gave up 28 fourth-quarter points in its 63-28 loss Oct. 3 at UNR, questions were raised about whether the Rebels quit.
UNLV Football
Cheer up, UNLV football fans. At least you don’t root for New Mexico.
So, will Lee Corso end Saturday morning’s “College GameDay” broadcast by putting on a Cougar or Horned Frog head?
Editor’s note: This is the latest installment of a feature in which the Las Vegas Review-Journal asks 20 questions of a UNLV football player. Today’s Q&A is with center John Gianninoto, a junior from Catalina Foothills High School in Tucson, Ariz.
HOW THEY SCORED
On second thought, perhaps Mike Sanford should remain UNLV football coach for the next decade or so. These 7 p.m. kickoffs can be tough on the ol’ deadline writing skills, but with the Rebels of late, you always have a pretty good idea where things are headed at halftime.
UNLV had good — or at least explainable — reasons for getting away from its running game the past two weeks.
When UNLV honors its 1984 football team Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium, fans might want to take a good, long look. The way things are going for the Rebels, who knows when such success will be repeated.
New Mexico football coach Mike Locksley opened his portion of Tuesday’s league conference call by talking about the fortuitous timing of this week’s bye, saying it would give his staff a chance to “evaluate everything we do in the program.”
Today’s Q&A is with senior kicker and punter Kyle Watson, a white player from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., who began his college career at historically black college Texas Southern.
Omar Clayton had the kind of roller-coaster ride that was exhilarating and nauseating Saturday night.
UNLV president Neal Smatresk promised early last week he would be closely watching the football program, and said Rebels coach Mike Sanford was being evaluated on a weekly basis.
If this is bouncing back, I’d hate to see what UNLV’s football team looks like when it’s not focused.
Effort should be the one guaranteed trait a football player owns. Speed. Strength. Skill. Smarts. You can lack in all of these and still play hard.
