In the NFL it happens all of the time a veteran QB play’s early in the season the offense limps along and a young QB comes in and gives a spark to that offense. Or injuries lead to QB2 like Tom Brady getting a start to his career. In college Cardale Jones came in late season at OSU, Alabama had the Jalen Hurts/Tua situation.

Not saying UNLV has a GOAT or future Heisman winner in their QB room, but the QB that just quit couldn’t pass. Was he the best QB to go to Kansas and execute the plays called to perfection that night? Absolutely, but the offense was hard to watch.

So now Moving into MWC play will UNLVs offense be given a spark with a change at QB? If nothing else if the offense/team wasn’t motivated enough by what’s in front of them, having their QB1 walk out on them should put a huge chip on their shoulders.
 
do we think this can be a rallying cry of sorts or do we need to worry about more guys feeling like Sluka?
100% rally cry from the team
Definitely. That game could have easily gone the other way like it has so many times before. Time to rally behind Hajj.
It sounds like the team had been rallying behind Hajj for weeks. They've moved on.
 
There will be some game 1 type bumps, but as long as the team rallies for Hajj in the first game, I can see this really pulling this group together for the rest of the year. Leaders step forward and speak for the team both on X and in play on the field. Hajj was with this group all spring and summer. Sluka might've been the better QB and won the job, but many of you have been saying Hajj was !B and I expect him to be more than ready.. Its not like sticking a freshman in there. Hes been a starter
