The offseason is almost over, and the beginning of the most anticipated and important season for UNLV football is about the start. Last season did not go the way many expected it to go. 2018 was supposed to be the year UNLV would go to a bowl game, but after an injury to Armani Rogers and lackluster play by the defense UNLV finished 4-8. Now the Rebels enter the 2019 season with many watchful eyes on the program. 2019 will mark the fifth season for coach Tony Sanchez, and winning is expected this year from the higher-ups in the athletic department.
