UNLV Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Rebels miss from the Mountain West’s Mountain Division?
The Rebels get to miss Boise State. That’s a good start, but not playing Colorado State or Wyoming this year might not be a plus.
That means they get Air Force, New Mexico, and Utah State – that’s a problem, at least with the Falcons and Aggies. Worse yet, they have to go to Utah State to start the Mountain West season.
UNLV Football Schedule What To Know: The road dates are nasty
There are just enough games in Las Vegas to help the cause for a possible six-win push overall, but there’s going to be big problems on the road.
If UNLV wins more than one road game, consider it a major positive.
It has to deal with Notre Dame and Cal on the non-conference slate, plays the two teams from the 2021 Mountain West Championship – Utah State and San Diego State – and it has to make the long trip to Hawaii late in the year. Going to San Jose State isn’t that bad, but it starts a run of three road games in four dates.
UNLV Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?
It’s not going to be easy.
If this is going to be any sort of a turnaround season, beating Idaho State, North Texas, and New Mexico at home is a must. Finding a road win somewhere is going to be a grind, and the season half of the slate is going to be a bear.
