Bowl Game Chances
- Thread starter UNLVWINS
- Start date
I would really much rather come into that game being 6-5 than 5-6, yeesh! It's hard to look that far into the future - with this group, let me get through the next two Fridays. Then I'll talk UNR! *fingers crossed that we crush them regardless*
A win this week is the only thing UNLV needs right now, but I'll play your game
UNM is in the midst of a mutiny against Davies and they have 100% quit on him. The only reason I don't fully expect a win in Albucrackwhore is because it's a road game.
Reno is REALLY bad. No QB and no RB. However, AGAIN, it is a road game and Reno wants to keep that canon. All bets are off. That game should be a brawl. I hope our players remember the egg they laid last season and use that going forward.
In short, IF we win on Friday I do expect to win out this season and end it on a 5 game winning streak. I actually think Reno is the hardest game left on the schedule. We better have 6 wins by the time that game starts or I doubt we go bowling. They will have an added incentive to keep us out.

Just as a side point regarding 5 wins in a row:
Most wins in a row as a division 1 program: 7
1978 (7-4) which is the first year as division 1
1979 (9-1-2)
1984 (11-2) under Cunningham as QB -best team and record ever in D1
Last year that UNLV won 5 or more games in a row:
1984
Regard 2-8 byu:
Last time byu only won 2 games in a season
1968 (2-8)
It has been a long time since byu has struggled:
Years in which byu struggled:
1970 (3-8)

1960 (3-8)
1959 (3-7)
1956 (2-7-1)

Didn’t UNLV have to forfeit the good season and have the record reversed for using 60 ineligible players? Not that many, but you know what I’m saying.
I don't remember that. Was the NCAA investigating Notre Dame, so they punished them by forfeiting our season?
I could be wrong but my understanding was the PCAA forced the vacation of those wins, but the NCAA. I thought UNLV still has those wins by NCAA records.
That would explain it. Odd, but it’d make sense why UNLV claims it as the record. It’d be a shame to have to get rid of half the victories in our program’s history.
Under this scenario I don't think there is any way we lose that game not after what they did to us last year and the frustrations they've been through this year. I think we win that game even if we lost the rest of our games. No better way to let out your frustrations than kicking them while there down.
I agree, but you don't think reno is going to want to take out some frustrations from their season. It's going to be a serious battle... and I'm afraid it's going to be typical dirty playing by reno.
First things first... Let's get this W tomorrow!
Agreed on getting the win tomorrow first, but...
Depending on the outcome of tomorrow and next Friday, if our guys are 6-5 and playing either 2-9 or 1-10 Reno? I would say that game would be a "take the wind out of their sales with one TD and one defensive stop" type of game. I would guess they wouldn't fight much in the second half if they aren't within a field goal.
Very true....it's just getting to that point which has alluded UNLV in the past.
