UNLV football practice a “little flat”
UNLV's football practice had an uncharasteristic low-key feel today, and coach Bobby Hauck noticed as well.
"I thought we came out a little flat," he said. "We picked it up in the end. The team periods were good. I didn't like our intensity or our tempo at certain points of practice."
Don't be surprised if that changes when the team returns to practice Wednesday. The Rebels have had intense practices under Hauck, who has shown he isn't afraid to move players around and demote those not performing.
