Maybe so but the last few games Hajj has made some critical errors on his throws. Almost lost to Oregon State because of his interception and lost to Boise because of a dumb interception before the half that put us behind the 8 ball the rest of the way. Turnovers have been a killer.

Next season will be interesting, I think unlv can do better than a Sluka/Hajj. Ochoa is a good prospect but we can do much better at that position.
He will only be a freshman but if memory serves Odom's son had some really good offers? He must be pretty good? I imagine they will grab another QB from the portal.

I think he throws a more catchable ball. But those decisions were really bad. Costly. Very costly. And those are the types of plays you get from freshman (Maiava had them), don’t expect them out of super seasoned guys like HMW.
That's how he was at Campbell vs good teams. Feasted vs bad teams but good ones had lots of picks and throwing into coverage or misreading defenses.

He was below 50% completion percentage!
I don’t know how anyone can say he was accurate, he couldn’t hit the ocean if he was on the water’s edge on the beach!

He overthrew a wide open Kaleo.
Why does it seems that UNLV offence only throw to Kaleo once or twice per game? Both Syracuse and BSU killed us with their TE crossing from right to left. Over and over.

Great game, Rebs

I think this might be the issue.

Our run game relies on a certain amount of deception. The OLINE is solid but not dominant especially in short yardage.

I think the struggles are more from 10yards in. We just can't lineup and smack people in the mouth. 1st and goal from the 4. Tried to run outside. Nothing. Threw quick slant ball off the receivers hands. Figet the third call.

Some of it is execution as well. If that slat is caught TD and we aren't talking about red zone struggles.

I agree I'm not crazy about some of the calls. On the flipside if guys make a play here and there it changes the narrative.

Absolutely hated the 'trick play'. Rebs were moving ball. Offense didn't seem like it needed any 'spark'.

Another execution vs play call, Hajj hits Ricky in stride with a lot of daylight in front of him, ball goes off his shoulder/hands. Offense got the look they wanted, great call execution just off. Next play Hajj throws a pick.
UNLV seems to reverts back into some low IQ play calling in the red zone. BSU blitz from the edges, run up the middle. Pound the shit out off that G spot in the middle.

Sluka had the arm and accuracy on those deep balls. Hajj had a couple good ones last night but teams are teeing off now because they don’t respect the passing game.

There will be some serious self scouting in this next week before the trek to Hawaii. Marion needs to figure out the red zone if this team is going to make a big run to close the season.

Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread Boise

I would say the offense was more consistent last year.

This year, we’ve had drives where we make it look easy driving the length of the field (last 4th qtr drive vs Syracuse). Then there are others where we are out of rhythm.

Too many deep pass plays on 1st down last night for my liking. Created too many instances of playing from behind schedule. I think this led to Boise keeping the blitz pressure high throughout the game.
Part of that is poor play calling and Hajj just not consistently accurate with his throws while also looking out of sync with the receivers. Offensive line needs to improve.

If we get the rematch I would pick them to win again but I certainly wouldn’t be shocked if we won. This team has already shown they can win on the road and statistically we were right there with Boise. If they play the same game and cleaned up the mistakes, they could definitely win.

Great game, Rebs

UNLV is getting really close for a breakthrough. I am disappoint as hell with this game. Our red zone offence is comgrobulated mess. The community is coming together. 42K + on a Friday night game in Vegas? WOW! The offence woes will be work on during the bye. I hope. CBO was screaming at Marion.
Marion’s play-calling is particularly poor in the red zone. CBO should consider taking it over in those situations.

#13 on defense has killed us in both of our losses a dropped int followed by a stupid 15 yard penalty in the Syracuse game and another stupid 15 yard penalty this game. But he was not the only one we have to be prefect if we want to be a considered a top tier program. Still proud and love watching this team though. Rebels Sack UP and win out!!!!
Are you talking about the Saint John's or Ricky White penalty? That Saint John's was a killer. Great flop by Boise.
