UNLV is preparing for yet another strong passing attack that probably will get its share yards and points.
Football
UNR’s 34-31 overtime upset of Boise State was one of college football’s most memorable moments in the 2010 season, two teams that would finish in the top 11.
The crowd spread across the pavement near the Student Union and onto adjacent stairwells Monday, hundreds gathered to celebrate a rivalry victory in football and the promise of what still might transpire for UNLV in the coming weeks.
UNLV’s football team took the Fremont Cannon on a procession from the Lied Athletic Complex to the campus student union Monday afternoon, where a crowd of about 300, that included university president Neal Smatresk, showed up.
UNLV senior defensive tackle Tyler Gaston hasn’t touched the Fremont Cannon, and he won’t unless the Rebels win it back today.
The mood was dour in 2004 the week of the football game against UNR.
Forty-four years ago, it was 1969. Bullets were flying in Southeast Asia. And Mark Larson said it was getting dark at Mackay Stadium up in Reno.
Fresno State ended a stretch of four straight games in which the UNLV offense scored more than 30 points. Will other teams adopt the Bulldogs’ tactics?
It all can be a matter of perspective. If UNLV was nationally ranked and averaging 36,248 fans to its football stadium, administrators would build a statue to coach Bobby Hauck and name the field after him.
The Rebels never were going to beat Fresno State. But that’s not to say UNLV shouldn’t contend to win each of its final five games and in the process qualify for the program’s first bowl since 2000.
UNLV senior running back Tim Cornett hobbled away from Rebel Park on crutches Tuesday, looking nowhere close to being ready to play a football game.
Whether running back Tim Cornett plays against UNLV’s chief rival — or against any other football team this season — remains a mystery.
Even though oddsmakers label the visiting Rebels 25½-point underdogs in a line that has moved No. 17 Fresno State’s way since it opened, UNLV running back Tim Cornett isn’t ready to abandon hope.
Getting out of bed last season often was a five-minute process for Derek Carr, the pain so great from the abdominal tear he suffered in training camp that just beginning the day was a grueling process.
Nolan Kohorst is not for dramatics, which is all the more ironic when you consider the spot he holds on a football team. But his is a simple, candid study of how many college coaches might view a kicker when deciding whether to offer a scholarship.
