Here’s the key part: No one is denying it.
UNLV
Scoring and statistics summary for the UNLV-UNR football game.
Bobby Hauck timed the announcement he was resigning as UNLV’s football coach the day before his Rebels played UNR for the Fremont Cannon. But UNR had all the firepower in the second half, sending the Rebels to a 49-20 loss.
An emotional Devante Davis said the impact Bobby Hauck had on him in his four years at UNLV extends well beyond the football field.
The negatives outweighed the positives on Saturday night, and as the game wore on it was clear that emotion wasn’t going to carry the Rebels to a win over rival UNR.
UNR capitalized on mistakes, scoring 21 points on turnovers and dominating UNLV in the second half. The Wolfpack crushed the Rebels 49-27 in coach Bobby Hauck’s final game at UNLV, and captured the Fremont Cannon.
A couple of hours after Bobby Hauck resigned as UNLV football coach on Friday, Gonzaga beat St. John’s in one of those sort-of-attractive early season college basketball matchups on TV.
No doctor’s visit was needed to determine if Rashad Vaughn was in good health Saturday. When his shots started falling, it was obvious he was feeling better. Vaughn scored 29 points to shoot some life into the Rebels in a 75-59 victory over Albany at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Rashad Vaugh, Chris Wood and Cody Doolin played well, and the Rebels got a contribution off the bench from Dwayne Morgan in a 75-59 win over Albany at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Alana Cesarz scored 24 points and Danielle Miller 20 to lead UNLV to a 91-78 win over Delaware State in the first game of the Lady Rebel Round-Up on Saturday at Cox Pavilion.

Prediction: If there isn’t a fundamental change in assistance and vision, if facilities and salaries aren’t upgraded and academic support strengthened, you’re going to read this exact same column five years from now, minus a few name changes.
Bobby Hauck will resign Monday as the Rebels’ football coach after five seasons, and he said in a text message that timing the announcement for late afternoon Friday was a way to further fire up his team for today’s game at Sam Boyd Stadium, where UNLV will attempt to keep the Fremont Cannon.
Four games into his fourth season, coach Dave Rice’s vision for an up-tempo UNLV basketball team is out of focus. It’s not blurry because the offense is moving at incredible speed, either.
