Considering UNLV is on the verge of making offensive history, it’s difficult to say that side of the football has struggled. It hasn’t.

The Rebels have been stuck on five wins since Oct. 26. Almost everybody believes it has been a fine season. Another way to look at it is that it has taken Bobby Hauck nearly four years to get the program to where Mike Sanford left it.
The last time UNLV ventured to Colorado, the Rebels were greeted with a kickoff temperature of 28 degrees and snow during the game.
