Between getting knocked unconscious and temporarily losing his vision, Omar Clayton took a beating at Brigham Young last Saturday.
UNLV Football
UNLV was in a similar spot in mid-September, a 23-point underdog trying to stand in the way of what then-No. 15 Arizona State considered its game of the year.
This is what freshman C.J. Cox could’ve had:
Perhaps it’s telling that Brigham Young’s two biggest plays defensively Saturday occurred when it dropped into coverage rather than blitzed.
UNLV backup quarterback Mike Clausen carries a backpack with the popular and artsy red, white and blue sticker of Barack Obama, and sometimes wears a T-shirt showing his support for the Democratic presidential nominee.
PROVO, Utah — Maybe UNLV should adopt an Arena Football League approach and just let the opposition score, giving the Rebels more time to answer with the game-winner.
PROVO, Utah — UNLV’s decision to fake a punt Saturday was so obvious that Brigham Young returner Spencer Hafoka was nearly 50 yards away and started sprinting toward the line of scrimmage.
PROVO, Utah — Call it revisionist history or simple semantics, but UNLV football coach Mike Sanford seems to have changed his mind about whether his team quit against Brigham Young here two years ago.
PROVO, Utah — On paper, it’s France against Russia. Or Britain. Or Italy (both times). It’s Bennett against John Matrix. It’s the Easy-Bake Oven against Wolfgang Puck.
Recruiting is the lifeblood for any college sport, and UNLV’s defense is anemic because of shortcomings in football coach Mike Sanford’s early classes.
Even now, as the season becomes more intense and the games more important, college football coaches work feverishly to line up next year’s recruiting classes.
