Gave away 20 points on turnovers and lost their rivalry game to Iowa. They'll want blood from their next victim - us.

Brumfield healthy and plays. I think they can cover that number.
Anybody else...
Probably not.
Do you risk Brumfield getting injured against ISU? At the very least, I would try to keep qb runs/scrambles to a minimum.
You play to win the game. You don't play to not get hurt. Either you are healthy enough to play or you aren't.
If you limit QB runs, you limit his effectiveness and the effectiveness of the offense as a whole.
I wouldn’t play him unless he’s close to 100%. This game is a loss whether Doug plays or not. It’s hard to say without knowing the injury but if it’s something where Brumfield could re-injure it the rest of the season looks a lot different if Justin Rogers is starting multiple games.
I wouldn't just call the game a loss before UNLV even plays. UNLV was very competitive with ASU until Brumfield went out with an injury in the 3rd quarter. The score entering the 4th quarter was 21-10.
That was as uncompetitive as I've seen a UNLV team.
And considering how bad we've been the last 20 years that's saying something.

We have a ton of issues, but whatever was going on with our QB situation tonight, needs to be figured out immediately
Seriously. The switching qbs every play is horrible for the confidence too. This guy is in so far over his head. Most noncompetitive teams I've seen at unlv (been painfully watching since jrob days). Only ones close to as bad were hauck before Caleb Herring singlehandedly saved his job for a season.
Losing has always been painful. But not being competitive at all, is soul crushing. I watched one play where 7 of our players had a hand on one of theirs before finally making the tackle. Is Iowa state that intimidating? With Hauck at least we had a little toughness and hit people.
(Yes, I understand it’s Easy for me to Sunday morning quarterback and Yes I understand I’m Just a fan and every single one of these kids is physically tougher than 51 year old me.). I’m grasping at straws this morning and I just can’t seem to wrap my head around just how poorly we played last night.

Eh. We had one or two guys ever couple years. Hauck defenses were awful. No reason to compare awful to abysmal and be satisfied with one ove rather other.
