I own a vehicle likely worth more than everything you own combined and just flew first class (including a ticket for a 2 1/2 year old), round trip to Las Vegas and I'm not 35 yet. When you accomplish something outside of finishing a book, let me know. When's the last time you saw a 2 year old fly first class in their own seat? Don't tell me about elite.

UNLV 

INJURY REPORT

Sophomore wide receiver Brandon Presley is out this week with a foot injury. Presley, who took Kendal Keys’ starting spot after Keys had season-ending knee surgery, had one catch for 14 yards in UNLV’s 63-13 season-opening win over Jackson State on Thursday at Sam Boyd Stadium. True freshman Mekhi Stevenson, who had one catch for 11 yards in the opener, will start in Presley’s place.

 

* Junior quarterback Kurt Palandech is still suffering from a sore right throwing shoulder and strained biceps that kept him out of the opener and will be the team’s No. 3 QB at UCLA behind starter Johnny Stanton and backup Dalton Sneed.

* Sanchez limped around practice with the help of a crutch after suffering a sprained knee over the weekend. “I’ll rub some dirt on it and I’ll be fine,” he said. “I stepped in the wrong hole.”

I thought I read that the pac12 was going to use Twitter to live stream games this year.  I could be wrong.

I'll check that out. I don't want to have to drag someone to Buffalo Wild Wings in primetime and see if they change the channel for me.

I was able to watch every single MWC game last year home and away on goatd.net aside from those on the digital network or altitude.  It just comes down to if you find those places morally objectionable.  Personally I do not given the peanuts they pay us.  P5 teams get paid 20 times or more than us but only generate 3 times the viewers so screw em.

UCLA is a 26-point favorite, which is actually about a touchdown less than the Bruins were favored by last season. That shows how far oddsmakers think UNLV has come, because the line should move the other way with the change of venue.

Covering as the underdog could be a sign of improvement for the Rebels, but just like the step up in competition, moral victories aren’t something Sanchez is interested in discussing. He can still sneak in a shot at a rival, though.

“Heck, we had a team in our conference go to overtime with a I-AA school, so I don’t care what the lines are,” Sanchez said. “The lines don’t dictate the score, the players on the field do.”

While I agree that the Rebs may put up a respectable fight, UCLA will not take this game lightly.  That loss at A&M will have them laser focused and pizzd off.

We couldn't pash rush Jackson State.  Rosen isn't going to be pressured.  I Don't like that at all.

We're not going to stop Rosen, have to keep him off the field with the running game shortening the game, gobbling up possession time with Stanton moving the chains.

I'm sure that will be the strategy. If the line gets up to 28 I might join you in wagering. Looks like the line is creeping down, though.

Rosen is not the greatest QB - he will put up numbers but he can also toss incompletions and INT's - last season as a Frosh, Rosen was 22-42 with 1 INT vs UNLV & the game was 17-0 at the half with 7 coming off a god awful Palendech INT he flung right as a UCLA defender while being sacked.

Not sure UNLV can grind out enough yards on the ground to eat up clock..........though I think UNLV will use a balanced offense vs UCLA............Sanchez likes to run, but this teams strength might be the QB to WR's with the running game keeping the opponent honest..............UNLV has small RB's and will have to rotate them to keep them fresh and from taking a pounding...........Reb's don't have a Frank Summers to pound the ball 

UNLV's OL will be the key..........if they can run block, then the Rebs might get some rushing yards
