UNLV defense puts heat on quarterbacks in practice
Day Six of UNLV training camp on Thursday at Rebel Park:
1. UNLV’s defense didn’t give the quarterbacks many passing lanes in a team session late in practice.
“The pass rush was really good today,” coach Tony Sanchez said. “They gave our guys fits. The other night (Tuesday) when we went live, the offense did a really good job of giving (quarterbacks) Armani (Rogers) and Kenyon (Oblad) a lot of time to throw the ball. (The defense) came out today with their hair on fire and were really fast and aggressive and just closed those (passing) windows down so much faster.”
2. Senior linebacker Javin White went down hard about midway through practice and didn’t return. Though the injury looked scary, Sanchez said White got poked in an eye. Junior wide receiver Mekhi Stevenson returned to practice as expected after missing the previous two with a minor ankle injury.
3. Single-game tickets are on sale and available at the Thomas & Mack Center box office, through UNLVtickets.com or by calling (702) 739-3267. UNLV opens its season Aug. 31 against Southern Utah at Sam Boyd Stadium.
