BOISE, Idaho — When it comes to playing through injuries, UNLV wide receiver Devonte Boyd has a kindred spirit in Rebels fullback Marc Philippi.
More than five years before Boyd played with a broken arm in UNLV’s 69-66 triple-overtime win over Wyoming last Saturday, Philippi underwent a temporary surgical procedure so he could play with a broken foot in a game for Bishop Gorman High School.
