5 things to look for in Saturday's UNLV-Boise State game

Five things to look for when UNLV's football team plays Boise State at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium:

1. Whether quarterback Blake Decker's return opens up UNLV's offense. Opponents have focused on the stopping the run with Decker out the past 2½ games with a dislocated shoulder. Now he gives the Rebels at least the threat of a passing game, which should help the ground attack because Boise State has to respect both parts of of UNLV's offense.

2. Whether the Rebels can actually run on Boise State. The Broncos give up just 81.
