Wolf Pack football coach Brian Polian has heard the idea floating that UNLV “wanted it more” than Nevada on Saturday night and that’s why the Rebels grabbed a 23-17 upset win at Mackay Stadium.
“That’s utterly ridiculous,” Polian said Monday as he prepares his team for New Mexico on Saturday. “Whenever you play a game like this and it doesn’t go your way, everybody wants to tell you how disappointed they are and what a big deal it is. I assure you nobody in the community feels worse that we do. These players are the ones that sweat and bleed and suffer and put in all of the hours.
