UNLV
If UNLV spring football was boring from a newsmaking standpoint, the program’s August preseason camp should be anything but dull.
The plan wasn’t to give Mike Clausen that much playing time — “It’s how the drives worked out,” coach Mike Sanford said — but UNLV’s backup quarterback didn’t waste the opportunity.
The football team that UNLV coach Mike Sanford puts on the field for the Sept. 5 season opener against Sacramento State probably will look much like the starting offensive and defensive units that play in today’s spring game.
With one scholarship available for next season, UNLV coach Lon Kruger has several options. Some of those options might not even be obvious to him yet.
Following the nation’s top college pitcher is a tough act, but it’s one San Diego State senior right-hander Jon Berger embraces.
The telephone rang in the sports information office at UNLV around 2 p.m. on Thursday. A local college baseball fan had a question:
In a few months, San Diego State right-hander Stephen Strasburg might be trying to throw fastballs past major league hitters. It certainly would be much more stressful than the challenge he faced Thursday.
Even on the part of the practice field where the big men of UNLV’s offensive and defensive lines are running spring drills, Isaako Aaitui stands out without even hitting anyone.
