The Raiders had 24 rushes for 76 yards Sunday against the Buccaneers, who have the NFL’s best run defense, and Josh Jacobs was held to 17 yards on 10 carries.
New eras have to start somewhere. This particular one did for Marcus Arroyo and UNLV football in a 34-6 loss to San Diego State on Saturday night in Carson, California.
It was in February of 2002 when the Oakland Raiders sent Gruden to Tampa Bay in exchange for draft picks and a cool $8 million.
Every five years or so, someone else is hired to assume the role of UNLV head football coach. Marcus Arroyo is next up.
The Raiders again practiced without their starting offensive line, which had been in close contact with tackle Trent Brown before he tested positive for COVID-19.
If the Knights don’t continue to contend for the foreseeable future, it won’t be for a lack of trying. Their latest signing: Alex Pietrangelo for seven years and $61.6 million.

When the Las Vegas victory against the Super Bowl champion Chiefs and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was official, the Raiders’ defense had won the day.
The Raiders snapped Kansas City’s franchise-record 13-game win streak in taking down the Chiefs 40-32 at Arrowhead Stadium.
Las Vegas earns passing marks all around for upset victory against Super Bowl champions.

Charles Williams is one of those show-me football players. Senior running backs not considered a high NFL draft pick, or ones at all by some, need film for scouts to dissect.
The web site PlayoffStatus.com affords Las Vegas a 42 percent chance of qualifying for the postseason.
Las Vegas is hitting the early part of a schedule everyone viewed as difficult to begin the season, the latest proof a 30-23 loss to Buffalo.
