It will be the first time since 1999 that UNLV Football has started the season off 2-0. LOL...I hope I didn't jinx us. We better win !!
If UNLV wins tomorrow....
- Thread starter rebelwithacause
- Start date
That's one of those stats that I know to be true. I know it because I haven't missed a game in that entire time.
And yet when I see it, it still feels like it shouldn't be possible to have been that bad for that long...
It will be only the 4th time in those 20 seasons that we haven't played at least one P5 opponent in one of our first two games, and in 6 of those seasons both of our first two opponents were P5 teams.
I would assume that this is only the second time in those 20 seasons that we enter favored in both of our first two games (because I'm assuming we were two years ago when our first two were Howard and Idaho).
They also have Georgia? (I think) the following week. This is just as big a game for them. An 0-3 start can be tough to climb out of..
Didn’t they have that motivation last week too? I agree that they are motivated to win for the coach, but I’ve been motivated to leave the practice of law for 8 years...and yet, here I am, practicing law like a chump.
Lol, My thoughts exactly about their motivation. UNLV 35 - A STATE 28, Let's Go 2-0 Rebels !
Agreed! These Rebels should have twice the Motivation, First as you mentioned and Second to start of the Season 2-0 for Only the second time in 20 years!
It’s so easy to overthink and overanalyze. The tragedy with their coach, extra motivation, they’ll lose next week, no way they start out 0-3 in a tragic season, right? So they HAVE to win tonight, right?
Or we barely lost and passed for 2 yards in wet ball last season. Our QB is more experienced, they ain’t used to this hot, new QB, they’ve got no shot.
In the end, it’s the same. We can stack known motivations and it’s only what we see, there are unseen motivations at varying levels.
