Speaking of continuity especially at QB is Sluka a 4'th or 5'th year senior. I know Haj is a 5'th year senior so I think Sluka should have an additional year due to the Covid rule.
Is anyone surprised by this?

I was just looking back at articles on Sluka and last year he rushed for an all time FCS/FBS record of 330 yards in one game 😳. Seems like the perfect fit for the Go Go.
Only if he can make the throws he made or come close with fewer TO's.
Then you have Williams who threw for 2,597 yards, 19 TD's and completed 70% of his passes. I have no clue on Sluka v Williams and who should start. But based on experience IMO either could end up more effective than Maiava as a true freshmen.
Man team Maiva made sure that unlv staff looked incompetent.

I don’t see how you can root for Maiva after that, no appreciation. Just crapped all over unlv.
1) It also makes his "self described pioneer of NIL" uncle look bad. He's the one who spent time with him the most. Not just his 1 year at UNLV.Man team Maiva made sure that unlv staff looked incompetent.

2) If you read between the lines, this gives the tiniest of peeks behind the vultures in NIL. College football is going to eat itself unless there are some restrictions on NIL and some reasonable transfer rules. He was 100% recruited back to Hawaii by his NILX uncle. It is one more reason why many teams backed away. He wasn't worth the headache. Big Dave got involved because of Tautofi. That's fine, but Maiava was pushed to USC once he made the decision to go to GA. He didn't have a real choice and NILX and Big Dave are the two parties reaping the benefits while Jordan sits and waits.
3) Kid is 19 and can make his own decisions, but when family is involved he's mind is being made up for him.
4) I've moved on. It is what it is.
I won't click on the article but several at the sun are more than happy to crap on UNLV... then play victim when they aren't given access to players and staff.
If they have, I hope we don't find out until Saturday.
I surely UNLV go with the two QB rotating offence. We all witness what happened to Florida State this past Saturday.
Correct. A starter has been chosen, won’t be known until game day.
Based on absolutely nothing, but my feeling is that it is Sluka.
How about it being based on Sluka being the highly talented and proven playmaker who passed on 2 SEC schools and about 50 other D1 schools to come star at UNLV? Good enough for me and I’m sure that relates in practice.
He didn’t pick UNLV to sit on the bench. Something would have had to have gone really sideways for him not to be the starter.
