UNLV Football
Believe it or not, Brigham Young is ranked and still has a chance to win the Mountain West Conference title.
UNLV sophomore quarterback Omar Clayton will not need surgery on the torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee, providing hope that he might play again this season.
Chances are slim that UNLV sophomore quarterback Omar Clayton will play this week, and whether he will take another snap this season is not yet known.
Even with no margin for error, UNLV figured it had a reasonable chance to win its final three games against a soft schedule and become bowl eligible.
They begin to occur in a college football coaching’s staff third season and increase in the fourth. Measuring games. Those weeks when it is determined where your program stands in relation to the best in its conference. Those weeks when you discover how far you have come and how far you must travel to be considered valid.
Between getting knocked unconscious and temporarily losing his vision, Omar Clayton took a beating at Brigham Young last Saturday.
UNLV was in a similar spot in mid-September, a 23-point underdog trying to stand in the way of what then-No. 15 Arizona State considered its game of the year.
Perhaps it’s telling that Brigham Young’s two biggest plays defensively Saturday occurred when it dropped into coverage rather than blitzed.
UNLV backup quarterback Mike Clausen carries a backpack with the popular and artsy red, white and blue sticker of Barack Obama, and sometimes wears a T-shirt showing his support for the Democratic presidential nominee.
