Chalk it up to doing what they’re supposed to do. They usually don’t. Today they have been so far.
Official Game Thread Game Thread: UNLV vs Idaho State
- Thread starter j. spilotro
- Start date
Brumfield 15/18 for 299 yards and 3 TD’s. Pretty high QB rating I’d guess.
WR with 157 yards in the first half.
Reminds me of what a day Randy Gatewood had with 23 catches for 363 years in '94 vs Idaho.

Good question. But until Brumfield shows he can’t do it, he’s gotta be the starter. Would have happened last year w/o injury.
Got to stick with QB1 through the 3rd qtr. Then sit him in the 4th.
This a different team than in the past even with the low comp...
Yep. That will give us a much better gauge. I mean, this current game is a nothing burger … but that’s better than an Otzelburger.
Small sample size against a shitball opponent, but based on what you actually saw with your own two eyes, Doug is a couple miles ahead of Bailey. Better pocket presence, knows his guys, just looks far more comfortable and confident.
Always hard to judge 2nd team qb when playing with the 2nd team offense, but Brumfield looks much better than Bailey. At least in this game. Bailey looks like your prototypical pocket passing qb. Goes through all of his reads (better than Brumfield), but holds onto the ball far too long which would seem indicate poor pre snap reads. Of course, at least some of that is likely do to playing with 2nd team playmakers.
I knew this would happen, I was hoping to see them go with the 1's all 3Q and continue to run their offense. They need as many reps as they can get.
Yeah for as good as they were in the first half the second half has been atrocious. Not good if you ask me. If they had kept the foot on the gas and scored 70 points it would have given nice momentum going into the next game. Just an awful 3rd quarter.
From what I saw, equipment malfunction for Bailey. Had to leave for one play to fix it.
I am just overjoyed they solidly beat a team they were supposed to beat. So often, around this time, we already have chalked up another crappy year. Go Rebels.
Yeah it isn't like we haven't played similar teams and lost or played games much closer than they should be. So good to see a blowout.
Not a bad debut by White...damn.
Outside of Brumfield getting bailed out on a dropped int, he looked pretty sharp.
Throws nice deep ball. Had good velocity on his passes. Was accurate.
Running game took a long while to get going.
White is an explosive athlete. Could put up big big numbers thos year...

I didn’t realize it until he entered the game. At the time of the post, I don’t think he had any attempts.
Thank you.
I would have had Friel ready but I was also concerned about an injury to Brum at that point.
The Louisville RB is the only one we had seen at that point. Besides Reese, I also saw some potential in 29. He looked like he could develop into a gamer.
When you can name all of his misfires, he had a good game. Threw behind a receiver over the short middle. Missed high to a TE downfield … the play which you brought up. And I think there is one more that’s eluding me. I think it was a good pass/drop.
What I liked was some perfect lasers in tight spaces that were on the money … and then the feathery touch pass for a touchdown. He was sharp, he was confident, made progressions … just a great game for him.
Even more is that he was able to elude the pass rush when protection broke down. IMO that sets him apart from Bailey and Friel and based on our O-line, that has to be a factor.
I hope Doug can stay healthy.
