Four games into the season, UNLV’s football team has taken some giant steps.

Note: The Review-Journal and Reno Gazette-Journal exchanged previews of tonight’s game to print in each other’s Saturday Sports section. The following is from the Gazette-Journal:
UNLV tailback David Peeples has been waiting to get back on a football field, and waiting for this weekend for his final shot at those despised neighbors from the north.
UNLV football coach Mike Sanford expects some surprises from Chris Ault on Saturday after the UNR coach had an extra week to prepare.
As far as the UNLV football team is concerned, Rudy Carpenter has nothing on Diondre Borel or Austen Arnaud.
Sophomore quarterback Omar Clayton already has placed himself in UNLV’s record book with his ongoing streak of 139 passes without an interception.
Is it beginning to feel more like 2000, or 2003?
The league that used to complain about a lack of respect now is getting all it can handle.
UNLV has reached a four-year deal to begin a home-and-home football series with Navy in 2014. The Rebels would host Navy in 2014 and 2016, and play at Annapolis, Md., the other two seasons.
This was the type of game previous UNLV football teams would have lost.
Logic would dictate that a football team can’t just run the same play every time it needs a touchdown.
When UNLV tailback Frank Summers decided to mentally move past last Saturday’s big victory at Arizona State, he plowed forward as if a Utah linebacker stood in his way.
Hidden away in Ely for training camp, Omar Clayton completed pass after pass as he took charge of the offense.
The memory of the controversial conclusion to UNLV’s football game at Iowa State two years ago lives on — and not just in the YouTube clip that features an angry Rebels coach Mike Sanford.
