Quarterback Derek Carr is already trying to calm the hype for one of the most anticipated games of his 2024 season when the Saints host the Raiders in Week 17.
A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young are reportedly headed to the 2024 Olympics. The Aces are off to a 5-3 start without the injured Gray.
The Aces weren’t able to close amid the Storm’s defense and Jewell Loyd’s scoring and lost Friday night at Michelob Ultra Arena.
This week’s questions from Raiders fans include what the team might do with its extra $34 million in salary cap space and who is winning the open starting cornerback job.
William Karlsson’s scoring touch returned this season, with the Golden Knights center’s first 30-goal campaign since 2018. He also showed off his defensive prowess.
The football season became a lost cause weeks ago, the coach’s job is anything but secure, and the stability of the program is again in question. So if UNLV’s players were going to check out on what little remains of the season, it wouldn’t be a big surprise. Except the Rebels finish against opponents that should get their full attention.
Brother Zach and Nick Vigil are Utah State’s top two tacklers, and they will be quite a load for UNLV to contend with Saturday in Logan, Utah.

Even before the power conferences began to use their enormous leverage to create more authority, the Mountain West operated in a system that was anything but fair to the leagues outside the big five. Now the differences are becoming even more stark as the power conferences put themselves in position to create their own rules.
UNLV was picked to finish fourth in the West Division of the Mountain West. Wide receiver Devante Davis and offensive linemen Brett Boyko and Robert Waterman were named to the preseason all-conference football team.
UNLV scored the first 27 points Thursday and then rolled behind running back Tim Cornett’s 220 yards and four touchdowns and beat Air Force 41-21 to become bowl eligible for the first time in 13 years.
It all can be a matter of perspective. If UNLV was nationally ranked and averaging 36,248 fans to its football stadium, administrators would build a statue to coach Bobby Hauck and name the field after him.
The Rebels never were going to beat Fresno State. But that’s not to say UNLV shouldn’t contend to win each of its final five games and in the process qualify for the program’s first bowl since 2000.
UNLV senior running back Tim Cornett hobbled away from Rebel Park on crutches Tuesday, looking nowhere close to being ready to play a football game.
UNLV’s first-year coordinators arrived in Ely with plenty of questions about their players. They left here Wednesday with many more answers, saying most of their top priorities were met as the Rebels returned to Las Vegas.
