The Mountain West, which released the 2018 football schedule Thursday, gave UNLV a challenging final month of the season. The Rebels play Western Division champion Fresno State at Sam Boyd Stadium on Nov. 3, travel to San Diego State and Hawaii the following two weeks, and close the season at home against rival UNR on Nov. 24. UNLV, which opens Sept. 1 at Southern California, was 5-7 overall and 4-4 in the conference last season. Sanchez enters his fourth season, having increased the victory total by one each of the previous three seasons. “It’s an interesting schedule when you look at the way it’s broken up,” Sanchez said. “It’s really orderly.”
