UNLV Football
Johnny Johnson III, a three-star wide receiver from Chandler, Arizona, had been verbally committed to UNLV but recently chose Oregon over the Rebels after the Ducks made him an offer.
Here’s the grade we give each area of the UNLV football team this season.
San Diego State running back Donnel Pumphrey was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season Tuesday, and UNLV senior linebacker Tau Lotulelei was named first-team All-Mountain West.
UNLV cornerbacks coach J.D. Williams and running backs coach Jamie Christian have left the school to join new Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford’s staff.
UNLV football coach Tony Sanchez was knocked down by Saturday’s season-ending 45-10 loss to UNR, but got up Sunday morning to resume the difficult task of rebuilding the Rebels’ long-suffering program.
While the Rebels will cite various statistics to paint a picture of some improvement on the field, such development isn’t near the level it needs to be for sustained success.
UNR issued an apology to UNLV after Wolf Pack players spray-painted an obscenity on the Fremont Cannon following 45-10 win over UNLV on Saturday in the Battle for the Fremont Cannon.
The Rebels inexplicably came out flat at home for their finale against rival UNR, falling behind 17-0 in the first half and never recovering en route to a 45-10 loss to the Wolf Pack before an announced crowd of 23,569 at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Never in its history has the Fremont Cannon deserved to be painted blue as it does now, the result of a 45-10 victory by UNR on Saturday that saw the Wolf Pack outcoach, outplay, and outwork UNLV in every imaginable way.
Five takeaways from UNLV’s 45-10 loss to UNR on Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Dariyen Sample forced a fumble that was recovered by Noah Espinoza with 1:41 remaining to preserve Liberty’s 30-27 victory over Damonte Ranch at McQueen High.
He’s not Donnel Pumphrey or Jeremy McNichols, but UNLV made UNR’s James Butler look like the best running back in the Mountain West on Saturday.
The Fremont Cannon is on the line as UNLV hosts UNR at Sam Boyd Stadium today. The Rebels are favored by 9 points.
UNLV seniors David Greene and Troy Hawthorne helped the Rebels to the Heart of Dallas Bowl in the 2013 season, but they said beating rival UNR trumps that.
