If you are looking at the UNLV football team for heart and determination you may not have to look any further than Mike Hughes Jr.
The 6’2, 315-pound senior defensive tackle has experienced coaching changes, injuries and heart-breaking losses — but Hughes says he wouldn’t change a thing.
“If you would’ve come to me before the season and asked me if no bowl game meant a failure, I would’ve said ‘Yes.’ But what I see coming for these guys for years to come I don’t think it’s a failure because they’re going to want it so much more,” Hughes said.
