Head coach Tony Sanchez and the UNLV Rebels (1-0) started off the 2016 season exactly how they wanted to last Thursday against FCS opponent Jackson State. With a decisive victory.
The Rebels crushed the Tigers to the tune of 63-13 at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. UNLV racked up 503 yards of total yards and held Jackson State to half as many. The Rebs jumped out to a three touchdown first quarter lead and put things on cruise control.
This weekend will bring a vastly different opponent, however. UNLV travels to UCLA (0-1) for a Saturday afternoon clash with the Bruins at the Rose Bowl.
