REBELS TO LOOK FOR

QB Omar Clayton

Needs to make big plays in what could be a passing showdown

DE B.J. Bell

Was signed to rush the QB, and UNLV has zero sacks this season

CB Sidney Hodge

Don't be surprised if Idaho tries to pick on the freshman

VANDALS TO LOOK FOR

QB Nathan Enderle

Is capable of picking apart the Rebels and posting big numbers

LT Matt Cleveland

The leader of a line that was battered by Nebraska and looks to redeem itself

SS Shiloh Keo

Constantly around the ball and is adept at making big plays
