You do realize that despite his accuracy struggles here, Sluka is a very talented QB with eye popping stats and that's why he's ranked highly... we haveca bit of a skewed perspective because of what went down, but he's a really good QB

I think it’s the former and you aren’t giving that credit.
Mullen picked him.

Remember Mullen is the home run hire, now his judgement is in question?
I know this is Rebel-net but c’mon now, it’s too early to start all this! Lol

I get the concern and seeing him ranked below Sluka doesn’t exactly generate excitement. Is this who Mullen really wanted or was it just the best he could get at this time? It seems like the latter which is why the concern but have to let it play out maybe he sees something he thinks he can correct? Maybe he loves Ochoa and this is backup? Or maybe this and the SC guy is the best they could get. Guess we will see.

Curious to see if attendance maintains, dips, or improves with this changeover.

Honestly I could see it either way

Along with the new running back for UNLV who is considered big time!

Sorry it was their #4 team barely beating our #2 and their #2 struggling to beat our #12.

Top to bottom a better conference. And what Virginia had was very brutal in the middle to the end of last season.

ACC is better for sure, but we are closer to the ACC than the ACC is to the B1G or the SEC.

No question our schedule will be much easier next year vs what he saw this past year.

But I think the leagues are closer than YOU think.

So the MWC is equal to the ACC in level of competition, keep dreaming!
If that’s the case why do you keep harping about we should’ve gone to the loser PAC 2 conference? The competition in the ACC is at a different level than who we play next year with the only exception being UCLA.

I’m sure there will be at least one more.

As for this kids stats? Not overly impressive. But don’t know the circumstances. But Sluka and Hajj had better numbers and they were pretty mediocre.

Mullen has done well with quarterbacks. Sure, I’d love to have a transfer sophomore that led his team to the top 25, he can run and throw with the best of them … but until Mullen proves he’s lost his knack, I don’t know what position we can take other than to trust in his judgment and abilities. He’s not a coordinator with no HC experience, he’s been through the battles.

You're right their #3 team barely beat our #2 team. Their #2 team struggled to beat or 10th team.

Not even close!!! Except for the examples of it being extremely close!!!!

Exactly.

Would we be any happier if it was a highly ranked former recruit with zero snaps that's been riding the pine for a year or two?

A lot goes into a players success and failures that are out of their control.

I'll trust the evaluation of a guy that knows QBs.

Even though the numbers aren't eye popping.

Said it before, even with increased NIL commitments UNLV still has to play 'moneyball' when targeting players. There's more money, but not P4 money to throw around.

Disagree completely!
ACC is better hands down, it’s not even close!
