Ryan Wolfe has done just about everything that can be asked of a student-athlete in his five years at UNLV.
UNLV Football
UNLV had every chance to give up Saturday, to accept the finality of the Mike Sanford Era by slinking out of Sam Boyd Stadium with another loss.
This will be a night of goodbyes, and not just for UNLV football coach Mike Sanford and possibly his entire staff.
Football coaches are itinerant, moving from job to job, with few becoming attached to one city for the long term.
Somewhere out there, or up there, or wherever they exist, the football gods owe Ryan Wolfe one.
Instead of representing her bowl game Saturday in Provo, Utah, where potential invitees Utah and Brigham Young will meet, MAACO Bowl Las Vegas executive director Tina Kunzer-Murphy will attend alma mater UNLV’s season finale against San Diego State at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Editor’s note: This is the final installment of a weekly feature in which the Las Vegas Review-Journal asks 20 questions of a UNLV football player. Today’s Q&A is with defensive end/linebacker Jason Beauchamp, a senior graduate school student from Steele Canyon High School near San Diego.
Ryan Wolfe is a week away from closing out his stellar football career at UNLV, but it will end on the sideline with crutches instead of on the field padding his reception records.
The suggestions have been too numerous to count for UNLV interim athletic director Jerry Koloskie, who is collecting names of potential candidates for the Rebels’ football coaching vacancy.
After his team held off UNLV 42-35 last season in Provo, Utah, Brigham Young football coach Bronco Mendenhall, while sharing an elevator ride to the press box with reporters, remarked how much the Rebels had improved.
Jim Rogers has the right idea. If you want to be any good in today’s Bowl Championship Series landscape of college football, you buy the chicken first and then hope it can produce the golden egg.
Mike Sanford insisted he wasn’t frustrated or bitter, that he simply wanted to set the record straight for the good of UNLV football.
I read with interest the news that the Nevada Test Site is more contaminated than previously believed. Hundreds of atomic blasts have turned the soil and groundwater into a radioactive mess.
Now that coach Mike Sanford’s status has been determined, UNLV faces a decision that will affect its football program for many years.
