UNLV Football
Brigham Young’s loss last week at Texas Christian shifts the pressure to Utah as the Mountain West Conference’s only undefeated team and its best hope for a Bowl Championship Series bid.
With the football season opener around the corner, UNLV sophomore Quinton Pointer has had trouble sleeping.
UNLV’s dream is to blow up the low expectations, to play so well that no right-thinking media member — yes, they exist — would even consider placing the Rebels at the bottom of the Mountain West Conference poll the following season.
Forget about waiting until the team leaves for its annual camp in Ely. It looks as if UNLV will name its starting quarterback before then.
If there were a judge and jury of 12 impartial souls not aware UNLV football exists — I could find 12 on my block — the verdict could be read following opening arguments.
