Jackson Woodard followed coach Barry Odom from Arkansas to Las Vegas, and the junior has responded with a team-leading 104 tackles for the 9-3 Rebels.
UNLV
UNLV lost to San Jose State on Saturday, but still managed the program’s most wins since 1984. And the Rebels will likely still play in the Mountain West title game.
Ranked sixth nationally, UNLV’s special teams units have had as much to do with the 9-2 start as any facet of the Rebels’ game. UNLV hosts San Jose State on Saturday.
Far from perfect, UNLV’s football team overcame a 24-7 deficit Saturday to defeat Air Force and climb within one victory of playing for a conference title.
The UNLV football team is 7-2 under first-year coach Barry Odom and has been able to move on from victories quickly to focus on a bigger prize.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Jayden Maiava has helped lead UNLV to bowl eligibility since taking over for injured Doug Brumfield in the third game this season.
