Doug Brumfield is going to start at quarterback for the Rebels on Saturday against No. 25 Arizona State, UNLV football coach Marcus Arroyo announced Monday.
The Rebels flashed promise in all three phases of the game before falling 35-33 in double overtime to Eastern Washington on Thursday night at Allegiant Stadium.
The Rebels nearly secured Marcus Arroyo’s first victory in the season opener, rallying from a two-touchdown deficit in the second half before falling to FCS power Eastern Washington.
Eastern Washington is among the best the FCS has to offer. The Eagles contend perennially for Big Sky conference championships and FCS playoff appearances.
UNLV football coach Marcus Arroyo wouldn’t say who would start at quarterback when the Rebels open the season against Eastern Washington on Thursday at Allegiant Stadium.
The Rebels began training camp in a quarterback competition — and they may conclude training camp the same way. Arroyo has not yet named a starter with Eastern Washington looming.
For the first time in a long time, the excitement brewing on Maryland Parkway seems genuine and authentic: The Rebels believe they can turn the program around.
Charles Williams is back at UNLV for his sixth and final season as the program’s first academic All-American and a devoted father.
Former Bishop Gorman QB Tate Martell was not present Wednesday at the portion of practice open to the media. But he was on the field when practice concluded.
The Rebels will begin practicing Wednesday as they prepare for their first full season under their head coach. The 2020 season was truncated because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The former Bishop Gorman star quarterback will play football at UNLV this season. Martell announced his decision in an interview with Franchise Sports Media.
Quarterback Tate Martell is transferring to UNLV, according to reports. He quarterbacked Bishop Gorman to three consecutive mythical national titles from 2014 to 2016.
If a team can’t field the number of players necessary to safely contest a football game, that team will be forced to forfeit, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said Wednesday.
The UNLV Rebels were picked to finish last in the conference’s West Division by a panel of the league’s media.
