UNLV Football: QBs Johnny Stanton, Kurt Palandech to olay in season opener

Head coach Tony Sanchez has confirmed that the quarterback competition between Johnny Stanton and Kurt Palandech will extend into the regular season.

UNLV completed its final intrasquad scrimmage of the fall on Friday. It was also the last practice open to the public. The scrimmage was UNLV’s 17th of 29 practices that will take place before the September 1st opener against Jackson State.

Neither Johnny Stanton nor Kurt Palandech made any significant strides toward taking the starting position Friday. Both quarterbacks threw redzone interceptions. Stanton spoke to the Las Vegas Review-Journal about his interception.

“The interception in the end zone is a quarterback’s mortal sin,” Stanton said.
