Good for Arroyo. Guy was a horrible head coach though. One of the worst head coaching hires in UNLV football history and that’s really saying something.

Still I wish Arroyo well and hope he’s successful as an OC. Jeff Horton was another terrible UNLV head coach and he went on to have a long career as an offensive position coach and coordinator.
Arroyo did leave a nice stable of players for Odom to mold. Good recruiter, poor coach.

Top 25 tomorrow

No way.. they lose to us and they drop guaranteed 8 spots or more... yeah it'd be a ranked team loss, but they won't stay in top 12. The game is rigged against the G5s even with a guaranteed spot
A G5 loss to anyone is a death knell... BSU benefited by theirs being 3 months ago. Tulane, same deal - 2 months ago.

A P4 loss to a P4 team is ALWAYS a good loss in the eyes of national media and rankers.

Top 25 tomorrow

But I think Army already solidified their spot in conference title game right? Both they and Tulane? Tulane with wins over Memphis and Army could be problematic for UNLV. Still think Rebs would get the nod but prefer their be no doubt.
They did. My point was that the ranked G5 non MWC teams are still "in the way" ... with Army probably falling out of the poll, they are basically a non factor. A Tulane loss to Memphis would be great for us. Losing to a team who could get ranked but can't make the title game basically locks up that BSU vs UNLV winner (if that's how it plays out....) is the G5 representative

Top 25 tomorrow

Unlikely but the top 12 go and they are 9th right now I can see a scenario where they lose to us close and remain 12th depending on losses behind them.

Almost win or almost lose, which one would you preferred?
Crazy in college today. Air Force did not complete a single passing yard and won. Both Colorado and their State school loses. Kansas with a losing record have won 3 straight against ranked opponents. Great day for college football and UNLV.
Should be 4 straight... fumbled away a win vs ranked Kstate

Odom leaving for WVU?


What's funny?

We average more yards per game this year vs last.
We average more points per game this year vs last.
We are in the top 10 to 30 in the country in explosive plays. Plays that go for +20 yards +30 and +40 yards.
Top 10 in points per game.
Top 10 in rush yards per game.
Top 20 passing efficiency
The offense has been good two years in a row with different QB types.

For all your claims of it not being 'innovative' it sure seems to be doing some pretty innovative things.

Odom leaving for WVU?

Sure but we had Bryant last year to pad stats.

Every metric points to the offense being more productive than last year. We're just doing it differently this season. Last year more balanced, and more big plays downfield. This year leaning on the run game more.

He adjusted/tweaked offense to the skill set of his QB. His offesnse is versatile enough to adjust and be just as effective.

I just think people are selling what we're doing on offense a little short.

Here's another stat. We are top 20 in the country in number of offensive plays that have gone for 20+ and 30+ yards.

Seems pretty good for an offense that people are saying they don't see as being very innovative.

Point being perception and reality not always in sync.
LMFAO
