UNLV Football
The Mountain West Conference from top to bottom:
Declaring “no job is safe,” UNLV football coach Mike Sanford has let it be known that standing pat defensively is not an option for his team.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — UNLV’s defense knew what was coming Saturday. Even the fans sitting in the highest bleachers at Hughes Stadium knew.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Wide receiver Casey Flair was adamant, saying three times, “There’s not going to be a tailspin.”
Excuse any typos in the following because it is October and UNLV football has yet to be eliminated from bowl consideration and that kind of radical occurrence might tend to play tricks when hunting and pecking for ways to comprehend it all.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Optimism was high inside and outside UNLV’s football program after four games last year. Then UNR handed the Rebels a heartbreaking loss that began a season-ending eight-game losing streak.
The good news for UNLV: It probably won’t face a quarterback like UNR’s Colin Kaepernick again this season.
UNLV coach Mike Sanford said he and his staff constantly make adjustments during games and at halftime, even if the average football fan doesn’t realize it.
Mike Sanford has coached UNLV to its best start in five years, but one major hole remains on his resume.
The latest UNLV football loss to UNR is over, which means Wolf Pack coach Chris Ault is somewhere dancing on a couch wearing a lampshade and the Rebels now can just have nightmares about tackling Frankie Albert rather than looking pathetic trying to do so.
UNLV senior wide receiver Casey Flair inched closer to the Rebels’ career records for receptions and receiving yards Saturday, and he also closed in on the school mark for consecutive games with a catch.
The telephone rang a few Saturday evenings ago, and Glenn Carano answered. A cowboy was calling, his old wide receiver Mike Haverty.
