Uncle Si of “Duck Dynasty” is 65 and struggles staying on task, so he often takes midday naps and plays with the security equipment around the family business. I officially am nominating him as special teams coach for UNLV’s football team.
UNLV coach Bobby Hauck looked at the scoreboard at one point in the second half and saw his team had outgained Minnesota 420 yards to 234. By those numbers, the game shouldn’t have been close. And it wasn’t.
UNLV looked like a spread team during training camp, and they looked like one during Thursday’s 51-23 loss at Minnesota, often going with three- and four-receiver sets.
Mark Wallington, UNLV’s sports information director for football, asked coach Bobby Hauck for the season’s initial injury report to hand out to the media on Monday. Hauck didn’t have any names to put on the sheet.
Tim Cornett, from Houston, enters his senior season 700 yards behind UNLV all-time leading rusher Mike Thomas. If Cornett stays healthy and averages the 94.8 yards he gained last season, he would overtake Thomas on Oct. 26 at UNR.

Not much was expected of UNLV when it opened last football season against Minnesota. The Rebels were 8½-point underdogs in the home game, but took the Big Ten Conference foe to three overtimes before losing, 30-27.

After a slow start, the two-time defending WNBA champion Aces couldn’t seal the deal against the Atlanta Dream on Friday and suffered their second loss of the season.
The Aces signed a former All-Star on Friday as the back-to-back WNBA champions continue their three-game road trip short-handed.
