I thought he had to get his leg amputated since he wore crutches?

I disagree. It's their first B 12 game and they'll see it as a MUST win.

We will still do a heavy dose of run, but we need chunk plays and variety.
Sure our offense allows a good amount of variety in the run game by design, but we rarely get more than 5 yards a run. We have fewer plays of <3 years per run this year which is great.
But to truly keep Kansas on their heels, and really any of the better teams we will face, then we will need to mix things up.

Kansas is 26th in rushing defense and 47th in passing defense. FYI. I think we can get yards and keep them honest on the ground, but indont think we win with < 200 yds passing this game. Mostly because I don't think our rushing attack is good enough to turn us into Air Force, at least not against Kansas

Lets throw rankings on defense out the window.. Because I think were like 10th in the nation defensively against the run and you know KU is going to try and pound the rock vs us.. In fact I dont see them airing it out too much this week, just out of the conservative nature Liebold will have with Daniels throwing 3 picks. I think the message early will be very clear that they intend to try and pound Neal/Hishaw and run the RPO with Daniels. There will be a good mix of play action and the option read.

Could be a trap game for Kansas. They play West Virginia after us.

This. I don’t see it as a drag. Can get better food before the game for less cost.

I did pretty good pick UNLV over Houston 45-21 (24) and UNLV won 27-7 (20) with reserves in most of the second half picked UNLV to win verse Utah Tech 56-0 (56) and UNLV won 72-14 (58) in another game where the reserves cam in for the entire second half.

I think UNLV is going to win 42-24 and control the game from start to finish. I think UNLV has held back much of their playbook in the first two games, so Kansas will not be prepared for some of the trick plays from the GO GO offense, and I think the defensive secondary is much better than when the two teams met in the bowl game last season.

I do think they haven’t used much of the playbook and they have been saving it for this game and they will open it up.

The B12 isn't going to add anyone right now. Any money they give to new schools come from their media bucket of money. The other schools aren't going to take less just to give a new school an opportunity. Not OSU, WSU, SDSU, nor UNLV unless the media companies see some value there. I'm not seeing it myself. As much as I would love to go to P4 we need to fix our basketball program to offer them something they might want.

Improving basketball will help when it comes to the Big 12, since they do care about that.
But i don't think our basketball team is keeping is out. Not completely.Being NIT level team would be good enough in terms of quality. It is way better than what TCU was when they joined.
Especially if we beat Kansas this week.
They need to improve football really.
What is keeping us out right now is fan interest. Eyeballs on TVs and home attendance in both sports.
I sure hope we beat Kansas. And I hope we have a number by our name afterward leading into the Fresno game. I think that could get more fan's attention.

I was rooting for NMSU & Sanchez, but it seems that Sanchez hasn't been able to fix what plagued his UNLV teams...start fast, no/bad halftime adjustments, 3rd qtr stall, 4th qtr fade. But it's early still. Really hope he does well

I think he will get the time and figure things out.

Is that what they are saying? Wow that would be best case scenario.

Where do you see Oregon only a 6 point favorite over OSU?
I, want to go to that Sports book.
Oregon, is -16.5 point favorites now.

Click to expand...

You are correct, I misread 16 as 6 when I looked. Doesn't change the fact that I believe Oregon is way overrated based on their first two games of the season. Oregon barely beat Idaho and was only up by 3 point until the last 5.36 of the game, winning 24-14. The other game for Idaho was a close win over a really bad Wyoming team by 4 points. They also struggle with BSU in the last game, but it depends how good you think BSU is to determine if that was or wasn't a good game.

So he may be one of those guys who is more accurate rolling out than in the pocket Josh Allen early career comes to mind.

Doesn't matter if he gets good or bad recruits, as shown by Rice, but what is important is can the team win and get better year to year. The best bet is that they either get to the NCAA tournament or Kruger is gone after this next season. UNLV AD will not give a lot of leeway considering they got rid of Arroyo with a 5-7 record in football.
