Quarterback Kurt Palandech has been plagued by bad timing during his two seasons at UNLV, getting thrown into tough situations off the bench and struggling with his accuracy.
The affable junior hopes it’s his time to shine Saturday, when he will make his first start of the season for the Rebels (3-6, 2-3 Mountain West) against Wyoming (7-2, 5-0) at 12:30 p.m. at Sam Boyd Stadium.
“I had my chances last year, occasionally, but I feel like this week is big,” Palandech said. “I’m excited to show I’m a much better player than last year and as a team we’re much better.
