UNLV officially announced the hiring of Terrence Samuel as wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator and Chad Kauha’aha’a as defensive line coach.
It’s up to new head football coach Marcus Arroyo to excite the UNLV fan base, which is hungry for success.
UNLV quarterback Kenyon Oblad will get his second start Saturday at Vanderbilt. He was a four-year starter at Liberty High, where he set the state record for passing yards.
Northwestern quarterback Hunter Johnson, a transfer from Clemson, had a rough start on Aug. 31 at Stanford.
UNLV defensive end Nate Neal received athletic genes from both sides of his family. His mother, Yvette McLeod, was an 11-time All-America track athlete at USC and nearly made the 1988 Olympics.

UNLV was a run-first offense with Armani Rogers at quarterback. Now with Rogers injured and not playing, the Rebels are trying to figure out exactly what is their offensive identity.

If there is one area in which UNLV quickly improved when coach Tony Sanchez took over after the 2014 football season, it was the ability to score.
UNLV’s football team practiced in shorts Wednesday as the Rebels near the end of the spring session. Coach Tony Sanchez hopes to develop enough depth on the offensive line to have nine players in the rotation.
