John GRIECoDirector UNLV football’s strength and conditioning program, under the guidance of John Grieco, is geared toward developing student-athletes’ athletic potential through a personalized program that includes strength, speed, flexibility, con-ditioning and nutrition. Benefitting from an individualized conditioning regimen implemented by a staff of four strength coaches, Rebel players follow a year-round system stressing the development of strength, power, speed and plyometrics. “UNLV develops its stu-dent-athletes on a one-on-one basis,” Grieco says. “Players are not simply handed a regimen to follow, rather our staff utilizes an individualized day-to-day pro-gram.” The Ernie Becker Sr. Strength and Conditioning Center’s 8,500-square-foot deck features free weights, power racks and Olym-pian platforms. The 1,200-square-foot sec-ond level offers stretching and aerobic areas catered to each sport. The room also features a premium sound system to further enhance the workout experience.

Power Behind The ProgramThe covered agility drills area features 3,000 square feet of artificial turf.

EQUIPMENT

PAUL PUCCIARELLI Director Now in his 25th year overseeing the equipment department for UNLV, Paul Pucciarelli says he and the school are committed to outfitting players to be both safe and stylish on the football field. “My philosophy behind equipment is that student-athletes have enough problems, that is, they have to compete in the classroom and on the field — worrying about equipment shouldn’t be a problem,” says Pucciarelli, widely known as Pooch. “Our players are lucky because of the system we have set up here. The athletic department and the university provide us a tremendous support group.” The Lied Athletic Complex’s 10,000-square-foot, two-sided equipment room gives all 17 UNLV sports the services of an immense facility designed with the student-athlete in mind. In one of 19 team and staff locker rooms, players and coaches can simply drop off their uniforms at the end of a practice or competition. The next day a clean version will be waiting for pickup in personally assigned lockers located in a wall surrounding the equipment room.

KYLE WILSon Director Providing the best possible preventative and rehabilitative care, the UNLV football athletic training staff is headed by Director of Athletic Training Kyle Wilson. Made possible by a generous gift of $1.5 million from Marilyn and Si Redd, the Lied Athletic Complex’s athletic training facility incorporates the total scope of sports medicine over an 8,500-square-foot area. Aside from five staff offices, a rehabilitation room houses a dozen pieces of equipment including Cybex stationary bicycles, stair machines and treadmills, all under a natural skylight. The largest area features a dozen tables to offer student-athletes various treatments throughout the day. Taping, padding and bracing all take place in another all-inclusive room. Finally, an aquatic therapy room features three above-ground whirl-pools surrounding a 10-feet deep pool for rehabilitative exercises.

TRAINING FACILITY

One of college football’s largest and most impressive areas of its kind, Bill “Wildcat” Morris Rebel Park has been transformed into an athletic showcase over the past decade. In 2002, a state-of-the-art AstroPlay synthetic surface was installed thanks to a $1 million gift from

the family of Ernie Becker Sr. A completely new lighting system soon followed. Also, Bruce Bayne of Peccole Nevada and Ernie Becker Jr. helped develop an all-new grand entrance to the park, complete with pine trees, desert rocks and an archway. The palm-tree-lined area includes two full-sized practice fields. Also, Terry Manley of Champion Homes is responsible for the UNLV Football Manley Corner, which welcomes visitors, staff and student-athletes onto campus and into the heart of Rebel Football.

UnLV ACADEMICALL-ConFEREnCE

A program-record 20 UNLV football players were named to the 2008 Academic All-Mountain West Conference team, which highlighted another strong year in the classroom by the Rebels. The total number of honorees shattered the previous record of 16, set in 2007, while marking the 10th straight season that at least seven UNLV players appeared on the academic team. In fact, academic advising for football, which boasts

three full-time advisors, has helped produce 111 such honorees since the school joined the Mountain West Conference in 1999. A trio of players – WR Casey Flair, DL Jacob Hales and TE Ryan Worthen – ended their college careers as rare four-time conference academic honorees.

Classroom suCCess

One of the top student-athletes in UNLV history, record-setting receiver Casey Flair last year became the first Rebel gridder to twice be named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District First Team, which is voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

ACADEMICS

In addition, no less than 14 active Rebel gridders earned spots on the UNLV Dean’s List during 2008-09. The program enjoyed another first when it boasted for the third consecutive year a player (Flair) on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District First Team. “We are committed to everyone on our team graduating and being suc-cessful academically,” said head coach Mike Sanford. “We hold everyone accountable for everything they do in the classroom and we reward their achievement. Our goal is to improve academically every semester.”

COMMITMENT

leadershiP CommiTTee The Rebels Leadership Committee was formed by head coach Mike Sanford when he took over the UNLV football program in 2005. The group is comprised of current student-athletes who are voted in by their teammates and includes representatives from the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman classes. The players are involved in considering team policies and issues regarding areas such as academics and off-the-field conduct. Members of the committee take on the responsibility to maintain team chemistry, police the squad from within and exemplify what it means to be leaders both on and off the field. “The Leadership Committee is important to our program on many levels,” Sanford said. “It gives the players a voice to the coaching staff while also allowing us a system to best express to our players our vision and goals for Rebel Football. From discussing small details such as uniform choices to considering big issues such as disciplinary decisions involving teammates, the committee is a way to get our players fully invested in the program.”

UNLV FOOTBALL MISSION STATEMENT1. To win the Mountain West Conference Championship; to defeat in-state rival Nevada, Reno every year; to go to a bowl game every year; to be ranked among the top 25 football teams in the nation. Everything we do in this program will be done with these in mind.2. To graduate every player in the UNLV program.3. To represent the University in such a way that students and fans will want to come to the games. This includes setting a high standard for attitude, work ethic, character and integrity as well as teaching those same qualities. 4. To be the most invested, hardest-playing and most prepared team in the nation.5. To give players in our program a great college football experience, which includes helping them develop to their maximum potential as a total person: physically, mentally and spiritually.

2009 COMMITTEE MEMBERS

nighT oF ChamPions The UNLV Football Night of Champions features teams of Rebel players facing each other in a series of non-football competitions at Rebel Park on campus. Signaling the symbolic end of spring drills, the fourth annual Night of Champions took place on April 20 of this year with Coach Todd Berry’s squad – Team Red Swarm – earning the victory. Scored events included a sled push, sled pull, weights carry and grand finale obstacle course dubbed the Rebel Challenge. Team Red Swarm will be recognized as 2009 champions in the Lied Athletic Complex’s Ernie Becker Sr. Strength and Conditioning Center for the next year. Director of Strength and Conditioning John Grieco said it makes for a spirited evening. “Night of Champions gives the players a chance to go out and compete and finish the spring season in a fun and energetic but also physically demanding event. There is some serious competition because bragging rights are on the line.”

IN THE COMMUNITY

UNLV and its student-athletes are committed to success both on and off the fields of play. Rebel players have the opportunity to become more involved members of the Southern Nevada community. Through interaction with charitable organizations, local schools, hospitals and various youth events, the Rebels have become increasingly positive role models. Each year, the athletics department’s effort in Nevada Reading Week translates into dozens of area schools being visited by nearly a 100 athletes, coaches and staff. Other programs the Rebels have recently taken part in include holiday food drives, Child Haven’s holiday party, Communities in Schools, the Santa Clothes program, KLUC Toy Drive, Opportunity Village’s Santa Run and Joy Prom.

UNLV wide receiver Casey Flair was one of only 11 players in the nation named to the 2007 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division I-A Good Works Team. The Alaska native became the fourth Rebel in six years selected to the prestigious collection of student-athletes that has been honored for its performance off the field since 1991. Former UNLV lineman Tony Terrell (Lawndale, CA) was the program’s first-ever honoree in 2002 and two-time All-American safety Jamaal Brimmer (Las Vegas) earned the nod in 2004. Las Vegas native Leon Moore was honored in 2005. Nominated by their school’s sports information directors and voted on by an AFCA committee, successful candidates must be heavily involved in working for charity and/or service to their community.

IN THE COMMUNITY

“College athletics are not just about producing better players but also better people and learning the importance of helping others is a big part of that. UNLV Football is committed to being a positive force in the Southern Nevada community.” — Head Coach Mike Sanford

Under head coach Mike Sanford, UNLV has developed the Rebel Football Lettermen Alumni Program, which is designed to get former players back on campus and more involved with their alma mater. All football lettermen are invited to attend a special spring practice social mixer each April and then each fall attend an exclusive tailgate dinner before taking part in on-field pre-game festivities at the annual Homecoming game. For more information, contact assistant football coach Mike Bradeson at (702) 895-4145. “I believe it is very important for our current players to know who came before them,” says Sanford. “Involving a strong base of former UNLV players is another important step in helping us build a program that all Rebels – past and present – can be proud of.”

RISING REBELS LOOK TO CONTINUE CLIMB

BEAUCHAMPIONSHIPUNLV linebacker Jason Beauchamp, who will be a senior in 2009, led the Mountain West in total tackles last fall with 127, which ranked sixth in program single-season history. It also marked the fourth time in the 10-year history of the conference that a Rebel defender won the takedown crown (NFL veteran Adam Seward with 133 in 2002 and 121 in 2004 and Cleveland Browns defender Beau Bell with 126 in 2007).

NFL VEGAS STYLEEven with former NFL head coach John Robinson long retired from UNLV, the Rebels still have multiple connections to the professional league. Two current players are sons of NFL vets while one Rebel coach played in The Show and two others coached in it. LB Bryce Saldi’s father, Jay Saldi, suited up for the Cowboys (1976-82) and Bears (1983-84) while DB Chris Jones is the son of a former UNLV RB great, the late Kirk Jones, who appeared on three teams’ rosters in the late 1980s. Among the UNLV staff, offensive line coach Keith Uperesa was with the Raiders and then Broncos in 1978-79 while head coach Mike Sanford spent three seasons coaching the wide receivers for the Chargers in 1999-2001 and DL coach Andre Patterson spent 10 years with the Broncos, Browns, Cowboys, Vikings and Patriots. Also, another child of a pro athlete signed with the Rebels this year as RB Bradley Randle from Murrieta, CA, is the son of longtime MLB infielder Lenny Randle, who played for six different clubs during his career from 1971-82.

All-America candidate and record-setting WR Ryan Wolfe wears jersey No. 88 and finished with exactly that number of catches

in 2008. In 2007 he had 77 receptions and in 2006 he posted 55. Could the double-number trend mean 99 grabs are in store for ‘09? Already his school’s career leader in catches, receiving yards and 100-yard games, the California native is col-lege football’s second-leading career receiver with 209 grabs, trailing only Central Michigan’s Bryan Anderson (who has 226 but with four more games played). Wolfe also sits second nationally in both receptions per game and yards per game for all active FBS players.

“THE O.C.”When junior Omar Clayton takes the first snap of the season vs. Sacramento State on Sept. 5, it will mark the first time since 2003-04 that the same Rebel QB started two straight openers: Clayton (2008), Travis

Dixon (2007), Rocky Hinds (2006), Shane Steichen (2005) and Kurt Nant-kes (2003-04). The former invited walk-on from Normal, IL, has

been anything but a normal player

for the Rebs, setting school records for l o w e s t i n -

t e r c e p t i o n percentage in a season and a career as well as con-s e c u t i v e a t t e m p t s without a pick with 173.

PHILLIP’S HOUSE OF PAYNE: OPPONENT END ZONESDespite his team boasting two top WRs, freshman Phillip Payne made a big impact last season, totaling 29 catches for 436 yards and seven touchdowns. Even though he missed nearly a quarter of the season because of injury, his TD total through nine games stood just one short of the school’s freshman record for a season, set by Lenny Ware in 1996. It was also just shy of the MWC mark of eight by BYU’s Austin Collie in 2004. Payne had at least one score in the first five games, which tied the school record for most consecutive games with a TD catch (Sam “Disco Kid” Greene 1980).

REBELATIONS ...The 2009 Rebels will play seven home games -- including the first three -- for the second straight season but for only the 11th time in history ... UNLV will face a school-record eight teams that played in a bowl game last season. That bests the former record of seven set in 2008 and ‘07 ... Despite QB Mike Clausen

throwing two interceptions within a 90-second span in the final quarter of play during 2008, UNLV still tied the school record for fewest picks in a sea-son with six. That number tied for fourth-fewest in the nation and allowed the Rebels to tie Ohio State and Florida for fourth place in the FBS for fewest total turnovers lost with 13 ... After Clayton went down with a season-ending knee injury vs. TCU in Game Nine, his replacement, Clausen, became the ninth freshman QB to start a game for the Rebels. By downing UNM and Wyoming, Clausen was one of only four UNLV frosh signal-callers to win their first start and only the second to win their first two starts (Scott Sims in 1987). Clausen did

not throw his first collegiate interception until after his 119th attempt, which now stands as the school record for pass attempts without an interception to start a career. That number was just 19 attempts short of tying the national FBS record of 138 by Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State in 1986.

REBS RED HOT IN RED ZONEJust one year after ranking last in the MWC in red-zone scoring at 70 percent, UNLV tied Ohio State for first in the nation in that category at 95 percent in 2008. After scoring just 15 TDs in 40 trips inside the 20-yard line in ‘07, the Rebels scored on their first 25 trips inside the 20-yard line last season.RK SCHOOL GM Drives Scores PTS TD FG PCT 1.

20 2020

Now in his fifth year overseeing UNLV football, Mike Sanford has a clear “To-Do List” for the Rebel staff and players in 2009.That’s because despite finally bucking the two-win trend in place since John Robinson’s last

season in town and coming oh, so close to bowl eligibility last fall, Sanford knows it’s vital that his program continue its climb. The goals – winning records, bowl game trips and league title chases – remain the same, but the head man says his team must make real changes in key areas to finally achieve them. ”I thought we took significant steps forward in 2008,” says Sanford. “We had an opportunity to do a lot more but fell short. It served as a motivating factor in the offseason because we were so close and didn’t get it done. Now we have to take the next step and become a winning team.” While the program is still a year away from using its full compliment of 85 scholarships, the defense has 22 lettermen, including eight starters, returning to help shore up that side of the ball. The offense, meanwhile, is more settled than any time under Sanford and looks to continue displaying its impressive efficiency that helped UNLV break or tie program records for fewest penalty yards and interceptions thrown. There are plenty of stars wearing the Scarlet & Gray this fall, led by the school’s best-ever at his receiver posi-tion, while a highly touted recruiting class is expected to replenish the secondary and offer some new weapons. A record number of bowl teams are on the schedule but no less than seven home games await, including the first three set for Las Vegas for the first time since 1989.

SANFORD

THE OFFENSE Sanford’s “To Do” priority for the Rebel offense is to improve the overall rushing attack. Finishing 91st nationally with 121.7 yards per game on the ground meant the Rebel Shotgun Spread formation was too pass-heavy. The good news is that six starters are back on a unit that finished tied for the national lead in red-zone scoring while dramatically cutting down its turnover total. “The offense took big steps forward in red-zone scoring and not giving the ball away,” he says. “I think you can attribute that to the continuity of coordinator Todd Berry and the staff, plus having a settled quarterback situation and high productivity at receiver. We want to build on those positives in 2009 but also improve. “We have to continue to elevate our passing game but we have to run the football better than we did last year. Those are our big priorities for this year -- improve the running game and score more points.”

QUARTERBACKS No team in the Mountain West can claim a better 1-2 punch at the quarterback spot than UNLV in 2009. With returner Omar Clayton (6-1, 200, JR-2L) named the unquestioned starter in camp, the former fifth-string walk-on thrived under center, turning in one of the better passing seasons in school history. When he went down with an injury, redshirt freshman Mike Clausen (6-2, 210, SO-1L) showed both poise and potential in win-ning his first two career starts. The pair passed for 2,680 yards and 23 touchdowns while combining to tie the school record for fewest interceptions thrown in a season with six and posting the third-best passing percentage in Rebel history at 57.9 (the best ever for a UNLV team that did not have a guy named Randall Cunningham in uniform).

“The quarterback position is certainly in the best shape since I’ve ar-rived,” says Sanford. “Omar Clayton is our starter but we have two starting quarterbacks because Mike Clausen won two games after taking over. That’s a great thing to have.” Now a veteran who has started games for two years, Clayton last season

threw for 1,894 yards and 18 touchdowns despite missing the final 13 quarters of play. His TD total was the most by a Rebel since 1997 and his inter-ception percentage of .0155 set a single-season school record. He also only lost one fumble in his nine games before bowing out for the season with an injured knee suffered vs. TCU. “Omar has a tremendous combination of intelligence, play-making, decision-making, ac-curacy and ability to run with the ball. He has a very even, stable personality, which lends itself to being a cool customer at quarterback.” Clausen, a taller lefty thrower, became only the second Rebel signal caller to win his first two starts and finished with 767 yards, five scores and just two picks that came on back-to-back drives in the final quarter of play in the season ender. “Mike’s a great competitor who knows how to win. He’s a strong runner but had some games where he started slow from a completion percent-age standpoint, so he needs to become more consistent with his accuracy.” The position will become even deeper this fall when top recruit Caleb Herring (6-3, 175, FR-HS) hits town after leading his high school to back-to-back undefeated California championships. Herring, ranked the 34th pro-style recruit in the

nation at Citrus Hill High, could challenge for the No. 3 spot along with returner Les Obie (5-9, 180, JR-RS), a former JC transfer who impressed coaches and onlookers alike during spring practices.

2121

RUNNING BACKS As settled as the quarterback spot is, the running backs position is equally unsettled as Frank “The Tank” Summers has moved on to NFL battle grounds after leading the program in rushing each of the last two seasons. New assistant coach DeAndre Smith, however, will have some talented veterans to work with in the backfield along with a highly touted prep recruit. Leading the group of returnees is Texan speedster C.J. Cox (5-11, 195, SO-1L) who finished second on the team with 191 net yards, including one rushing touchdown, while getting his feet wet as a freshman. Next up after spring ball was Chris Brogdon (5-7, 215, SR-3L), a special teams star (six tackles, three fumble recoveries) who figures to get carries in his final year. Also in the mix is Channing Trotter (5-8, 200, JR-2L – 110 yards in ’08), a tough runner who claimed the team’s longest rush a year ago at 58 yards. Another Texan, Imari Thompson (5-9, 200, FR-RS), redshirted after an early injury while joining the mix in preseason camp will be explosive California high school weapon Bradley Randle (5-8, 185, FR-HS), who was ranked by one service as a top 50 RB recruit.

“Obviously we’re going to miss Frank Summers and the tremendous physicality he brought to the position,” Sanford says. “The scheme won’t change but we’ll get different types of runs out of these running backs. It’s a wide-open competition for the starter and we’re excited that we’re going to have a lot of competition between four guys with a lot of quickness and acceleration. I like this group of guys and we also fully expect Bradley Randle to come in and compete immediately.”’;s

WIDE RECEIVERS Gone is record-setting receiver Casey Flair with his unquestioned consistency and character that benefitted the team on and off the field. However, the position remains the team’s biggest strength with a deep corps of returners (a unit ranked 28th in the nation by Phil Steele’s) led by the best ball-catcher to ever pull on a UNLV uniform in the form of Ryan Wolfe (6-2, 210, SR-3L). Already his school’s career leader in receptions, yards and 100-yard games, Wolfe posted UNLV’s first 1,000-yard season since 1994 as a junior and is the class of the conference at wideout. His career-high 88 receptions came courtesy of a stable quarterback rotation and an increasingly effective catch-at-any-cost attitude. “We will miss Casey Flair’s leadership, toughness and acrobatic catches but we are still very deep at this position. This is an excellent receiving corps led by Ryan Wolfe, Rodelin Anthony and Phillip Payne and it will again be one of the big strengths of our team,” Sanford says. “Ryan Wolfe in 2008 was the best player on our football team and in my opinion the best receiver in the conference. As a senior he will be a candidate for All-America honors. He catches the ball really well in traffic and does a great job getting vertical after the catch. He’s a tough receiver with really strong hands. He’s great at getting open and an excellent route runner so the quarterbacks have great trust in him. He leads by example and we would like to have him become more of a vocal leader this year.” Another returner looking to peak in his Rebel finale is big Rodelin Anthony (6-5, 230, SR-3L – 17 receptions for 227 yards and three TDs in ’08), who finally looked to be living up to his vast athletic potential. The future of the Rebel receivers

didn’t wait long to make his presence known during his first season on campus as Phillip Payne (6-3, 200, SO-1L – 29 for 436 and seven TDs) was a freshman sensation in the red zone before missing significant time because of injury. Heading into fall, the fourth receiver spot is manned

by speedy Michael Johnson (5-8 170, SO-1L – 2 for 3, 84 yards

rushing), who looks to do a better job taking care of the ball as a sopho-more. Former Texas Southern transfer Jerriman Robinson (6-2, 190, SR-2L – 15 for 236, 1 TD) proved to be a valuable addition while Renan

Saint Preux (6-1, 185, SR-3L) is back on the field after redshirting last fall and Alaskan Tate Knutson (5-10, 175, JR-2L) will also look for time.

TIGHT ENDS Sanford says the tight end position will play a bigger, and more catch-conscious, role in the Rebel attack in 2009. The position has the unique feature of employing four candidates that sport a combined zero games played. Former JC WR Kyle Watkins (6-2, 240, SO-RS) is the fastest of the foursome and redshirted during his first year on cam-pus as did big Alex Young (6-4, 240, FR-RS) and former prep receiver Gordy Cooper (6-5, 215, FR-RS) while converted defensive end Austin Harrington (6-4, 230, SO-SQ) is also in involved in the competition. “The biggest change in our offense from last year is incorporating a true tight end this season,” says Sanford. “We recruited some true tight ends and also moved some others over. Who will emerge to earn playing time is up in the air but we like the group.”

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN Sporting two legitimate first team all-conference candidates, the 2009 Rebel

O-line will offer a lot of experience at most positions. Talented senior Joe Hawley (6-3, 310, SR-3L) has been a force at both guard and center but will start this season back at right

guard, where he will be backed up by Las Vegan Mike Donato (6-3, 310, SR-2L). Left guard will feature fast-rising Sean Tesoro (6-2, 290, FR-RS) followed by big veteran Ramsey Feagai (6-2, 340, JR-2L). Coaches have penciled in John Gianninoto (6-3, 290, JR-2L) at center after the junior compiled eight starts there last fall until Hawley took over late in the campaign. Young Jason Heath (6-3, 280, FR-RS) looks to earn the No. 2 position. Joining Hawley in the honors discussion is big left tackle Matt Murphy (6-4, 300, JR-2L) as the former freshman All-American already has 21 career starts to his name. Another

returning UNLV starter is Evan Marchal (6-7, 300, JR-2L) over at left tackle while reserves include Thomas Wren (6-6, 280, SO-SQ), Yusef Rodgers (6-2, 270, FR-RS), Daniel Kaanana (6-5, 270, FR-HS) and grayshirt addition Shane Watterson (6-4, 280, FR-HS). “We have some players coming back that give us a really good core of the offensive line,” says Sanford about a group that

last year only surrendered 14 sacks. “Joe Hawley had a great offseason and is valuable at either guard or center for us. With Matt Murphy and Evan Marchal, we have three really high-end

linemen back but we need to solidify some other spots.”

HAWLEY MURPHY

THE DEFENSE “To-Do List Part II” is assigned to a defense that returns eight starters but ranked 110th in the nation in rushing yards allowed and was 100th with an average of 32.6 points given up each game. “We must improve on defense in 2009 and the biggest area of improve-ment must come in the secondary – both the safeties and corners,” says Sanford. “We’ve made some adjustments in the coaching staff and are going to have a wide-open competition for all four spots back there. We moved (defensive coordinator) Dennis Therrell to coach the safeties and hired Jed Stugart to coach the linebackers. We played well up front at times but we need to be a better total defense.”

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Heading into 2009, the interi-or of the line is a big plus for UNLV as a pair of sometimes dominant run-stuffing tackles could vie for all-conference awards. Malo Taumua (6-1, 270, JR-2L – 27 TT, 6.5 TFL), who helped UNLV upset ASU by blocking a field-goal attempt in overtime, already has 23 starts to his credit and looked good at both tackle and end during spring camp. Meanwhile, former Sun Devil signee Martin Tevaseu (6-2, 340, SR-1L – 20 TT, 1 SACK) came in and started seven games during his first year of D-I football and could develop into a force up front as a senior.

Reserves include Bennielee Shelby (6-1, 275, FR-RS), Las Vegan Matt Kravetz (6-1, 245, SO-SQ) and former transfer A.J. Lewis (6-1, 245, SO-RS). At the end spots, Isaako Aaitui (6-3, 300, JR-2L – 32 TT, 7 TFL, 2 SACKS) continues to improve while for Pac-10 transfer Preston Brooks (6-3, 255, JR-1L – 10 TT) looks to step up his game as a junior. One of the team’s top recruits will also line up here as B.J. Bell (6-2, 260, JR-TR) was a first team JC All-American last fall and follows older brothers and former Rebel LBs Zach and Beau Bell into the program in ’09. Also competing for time are Daniel Mareko (6-3, 245, JR-SQ), Heivaha Mafi (6-1, 260, SR-1L – 23 TT, 2 SACKS) and Beau Brence (6-3, 235, FR-RS). “Our defensive front is a strength coming back. We have some returning players who can have a dramatic impact this coming year but we have to develop some backups. We must get more pressure on the quarterbacks and more sacks.”

DEFENSIVE BACKS Anyone wondering about how much of an upgrade was needed in the UNLV defensive secondary need only check out the team’s 2009 recruiting class, which was bursting with eight DBs -- many of whom will be looked upon to compete to play right away. Young Deante’ Purvis (5-10, 185, SO-1L – 4 TT) tested out as the team’s fastest player in the offseason with a 4.31 40 and will get a long look at left cornerback despite making his biggest impact on special teams a year ago. Midyear JC pickup Kenny Brown (5-10, 160, SO-TR) will also compete for starting duties. Will Chandler (5-11, 185, SO-1L – 15 TT, 1 FF) and another midyear signee, Warren Zeigler (6-0, 170, JR-TR), are two of the players battling at right corner while incumbent starter Quin-ton Pointer (5-10, 185, JR-2L – 44 TT, 6 PBU, 2 INT) sat out spring ball recovering from shoulder surgery. More help will arrive from the JC route when Mike Grant (5-11, 185, JR-TR) arrives in time for preseason camp and veteran Ryan Tillman (5-10, 175, SR-3L) is also back after grabbing his first career interception a year ago. “Cornerback is wide open,” says Sanford. “We have some returning players who will be very competitive with some new guys we brought in to make an immediate impact in the fall. We’ll have a lot of numbers and we expect the cream to rise to the top by the time we kick off.” “Six guys at safety.” That’s how Sanford describes his largely new cast for a position that will be under the direction of Therrell after the second-year defensive coordinator spent the last two falls working with the linebackers.

THE SCHEDULE In a season where UNLV will play a school-record eight teams com-ing off bowl appearances, the Rebels will host seven teams at Sam Boyd Stadium for the second consecutive fall but have the first three at their place for the first time in 20 years. A first-ever meeting with Sacramento State kicks things off on Sept. 5 before Oregon State fulfills a return game in the series when the Beavers play the Rebels in Las Vegas for the first time since 1991. On Sept. 19, longtime-rival Hawaii makes a return trip and the Rebels’ lone non-conference road game is set for Oct. 1 in Reno with the renewal of the Battle for the Fremont Cannon vs. the Wolf Pack of UNR. The four Mountain West schools coming to town feature three more bowl teams – BYU, Utah and Colorado State, along with San Diego State. The Rebs, meanwhile, will make trips to confer-ence opponents Air Force, TCU, New Mexico and Wyoming. “I love the fact that we open up at home and we have three here to start the season,” Sanford says. “Seven home games is a real plus but it’s a really tough schedule. Obviously our conference has more good teams than ever and we are playing quality teams out of conference as well.”

LINEBACKERS Easily the deepest part of the defense is here at linebacker where a lot of youngsters got on the field in ’08 and even more are ready to serve this fall. The only senior starter is honors candidate Jason Beauchamp (6-3, 235, SR-3L), who led the Mountain West with 127 tackles last season and is set to line up at the weak-side position. A pair of sophomores will also vie for time: seven-game starter Nate Carter (6-0, 230, SO-1L – 49 TT in ’08) and Bryce Saldi (6-2, 220, SO-1L – 5 TT). The strong side is home to playmaker Starr Fuimaono (6-0, 210, JR-2L – 14 TT), who is a potential force when healthy but missed spring ball after blowing out his knee in the second game of 2008. Converted safety Beau Orth (6-1, 205, SO-1L – 11 TT, 1 INT) showed a knack for getting to the football as a true fresh-man and is also listed atop the depth chart after spring, while veteran Wiselet Rouzard (5-9, 215, SR-3L – 19 TT) will also be involved.

Big-hitting Ronnie Paulo (6-1, 240, JR-2L – 90 TT, 3

PBU) is the leader in the middle while two red-shirts from Arizona will work for playing time this fall: David Blair (6-1, 235, FR-RS) and Travis Trickey (6-2, 220, FR-RS). “We’re in pretty good shape

at linebacker and we have a lot of depth, headed by Jason Beauchamp, who

is one of the top returning defensive players in the conference. He led the

league in tackles and has gotten bigger and stronger for his senior

season. Ronnie Paulo, when healthy, made a big difference in our defense last season so he will be an impact player. Starr had knee surgery but will be ready and we feel great about Beau Orth and he at the SAM.”

Two converted quarterbacks are expected to have a big say in play-ing time. Young, athletic Chris Jones (6-2, 185, SO-1L – 22 TT) made the switch during fall camp and eventually made two starts on defense and will compete this spring at strong safety with midyear JC addition Alex De Giacomo (6-0, 185, JR-TR) and returning six-game starter Terrance Lee (6-0, 180, SR-1L – 64 TT), who led the MWC with four forced fumbles. At the free safety position, former starting signal caller Travis Dixon (6-0, 190, JR-2L – 5 TT) should be more of a factor after going through his first spring practice on that side of the ball while veteran Marquel Martin (5-11, 200, SR-3L) and former transfer Calvin Randleman (6-0, 195, JR-RS) are also competing for plays. “Safety is an unknown area for us. It is a young group that is critical to our success on defense. We expect both Jones and Dixon to have big improvement this year after getting used to playing the position on the collegiate level.”

THE SPECIAL TEAMS The place-kicking tandem of Kyle Watson (5-9, 215, SR-2L) and Ben Jaekle (6-1, 175, JR-2L) worked well with the former taking care of the short game (35-35 in extra points and 7-8 in field goals) and the latter handling the long-distance attempts (kickoffs and 5-11 in field goals, including three 52-yard bombs). Sanford says both will compete in the preseason to be the squad’s solo booter but the same specialized arrangement may return. The Rebels were fortunate that third-string QB Dack Ishii came out of nowhere to moonlight as a solid punter in 2008 but now are back in

the process of looking for a starter this fall. Look for former JC trans-fer Brendon Lamers (5-11, 190, SR-1L) to compete with Watson for those duties with a fall camp addition also possible. The Rebel return game got a boost late in the year with the emergence of Deante’ Purvis on kickoffs. The freshman averaged 23.4 yards per attempt with a long of 55 while Michael Johnson will also vie for time for both kickoffs and punts after doing both as a rookie. Also expected in the return game mix is JC addition Mike Grant and frosh runner Bradley Randle.

BIRTH OF A CONFERENCE The Mountain West Conference was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from the former 16-team WAC re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Five of the MWC’s nine members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (BYU, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV entered the fold in 1996 and TCU began its first year of competition in 2005-06, completing the membership in the MWC as it stands today. From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West Conference has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. The Colorado Springs-based league is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of the MWC’s newest member, TCU. MWC members have participated in 36 bowl games in 10 years with eight of the nine schools going to at least one postseason event. The MWC has earned 45 postseason bids in men’s basketball, including 22 NCAA Tournament appearances, while women’s basketball has tallied 27 NCAA bids, four Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite Eight berth since 2000. The MWC has sent at least 30 teams to NCAA postseason events each of the past 10 years while capturing seven NCAA team championships during that span.

MWC FOOTBALL YEAR IN REVIEW The Mountain West Conference celebrated a decade of competition in style, posting its most successful football campaign to date. The MWC posted a league-high 28 non-conference victories, including a 22-12 record against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents, and sent five teams to bowl games for the second consecutive year. Three MWC football teams were ranked all eight weeks of the BCS Standings, and finished the season in final top 25 polls, including two in the top 10, for the first time in league history. Utah’s No. 2 and TCU’s No. 7 ranking in the final polls marked the first time two teams from non-automatic-qualifying conferences have been ranked in the top 10 since 1984. Defending conference champion Utah enters the 2009 season with the nation’s longest win streak at 14 games, after finishing the 2008 campaign with the nation’s only undefeated mark at 13-0. With their Sugar Bowl win over No. 4 Alabama, the Utes became the first team from a

non-automatic qualifying BCS conference to win two BCS bowl games.

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE

With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg becoming the top pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is the only conference to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL,

NBA and MLB drafts since the league’s founding in 1999.

Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the newest NCAA Division I conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 11th season of competition in 2009-10, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for MWC institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically.

Progressive in its approach, the MWC has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportuni-

ties for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. He has been instrumental in negotiating nearly $230 million in television revenue, directed the league through expansion and has been an innovator in the postseason bowl structure as MWC teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games.

His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and Comcast to become the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its nine athletic programs.

Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Moun-tain West in the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MWC and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MWC has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the BCS system fair for all universities.

Through its first 10 years of competition, the MWC has participated in 36 bowl games. In 2007, the MWC posted the best winning percentage among the 11 confer-ences that make up the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and claimed the 2007-08 ESPN Bowl Challenge Cup for the second time in four years. The MWC has sent a record five teams into postseason action both of the last two seasons (2007-08) and over the past five campaigns boasts the best winning percentage in bowl games among FBS conferences.

Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. Thompson gradu-ated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. He and his wife, Carla, have a son, Ted, and a daughter, Emma.

MOUNTAIN WEST BOWL GAMES

The newly rebrand-ed MAACO Bowl Las Vegas will again pit the top

selection from the Mountain West Confer-

ence against the No. 4/5 pick from the Pac-10 Conference. The postseason showcase will be played on Tuesday, Dec. 22, at 5:00 p.m. PST and be shown live on ESPN. Since being formed as a postseason championship for the winner of the Big West Conference to take on the titlist from the Mid-American Conference 17 years ago, the game has grown annually in stature and following. Last year’s edition brought a crowd of 40,047 fans, which represented the fourth con-secutive sell out.

MOUNTAIN WEST WEEKLY SCHEDULE

30

Nin October; the Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL made it their home in 2001; and the Las Vegas Posse, a Canadian Football League franchise, played one season in 1994. SBS also hosts high school games and has been site of the state’s prep championship. The venue also recently hosted two other college football events: the Silver Dollar Classic, which featured two teams from historically black universities, and the Las Vegas All-American Classic postseason all-star game from 2003-05.

Originally named Las Vegas Stadium when it was built in 1971 at a cost of $3.5 million, the facility was re-named the Las Vegas Silver Bowl in 1978 and then known as the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl in honor of local gaming pioneer Sam Boyd begin-ning in 1984. Its name was officially shortened to Sam Boyd Stadium in April 1994.

The first event held in the then-15,000-seat sta-dium was a UNLV football game against Weber State on Oct. 23, 1971, won by the visiting Wildcats, 30-17. Official dedication ceremonies, however, took place the next season on Sept. 9, 1972, at halftime

of a 35-28 loss to Western Illinois before 8,800 fans.SBS, which has always retained its horseshoe shape, underwent

an expansion to 32,000 seats in 1978 and again enjoyed improve-ments in 1994. The Rebel Experience area outside the stadium opened in 1997.

One of the highlights of the most recent renovation was the replace-ment of the so-called “Magic Carpet” retractable artificial turf that had been in place since 1985. Originally fitted with traditional AstroTurf, Sam Boyd was the first stadium in the world to install a Monsanto Corp. outdoor retractable turf, which helped give the facility its multi-purpose capability. The surface, which simply rolled up into cylinders in less than an hour, was installed at a cost of $1.2 million in part through a grant by the Sam Boyd family. Natural grass replaced the artificial turf from 1999-2002 before a synthetic surface, made by TurfTech, was installed in time for the 2003 season.

Now standing as one of the top college football facilities in all the West is UNLV’s versatile venue Sam Boyd Stadium. Undergoing a complete facelift and renovation during 1999, Sam Boyd expanded to its present capacity of 36,800 (with the ability to seat more than 40,000 when called for).

Located approximately seven miles from both the UNLV campus and McCarran International Airport, Sam Boyd Stadium successfully combines the excitement of a college football stadium and the versatility of an enter-tainment arena. The Rebel football team has posted a 129-99-3 record in 37-plus seasons playing there, including in front of a record three sellout crowds in 2007.

SBS marked its 25th anniversary in 1996 by hosting the state’s then-largest-ever sporting crowd on Sept. 14 when 41,091 fans witnessed UNLV take on Wisconsin. That total was surpassed just three months later when 41,238 saw BYU get past Wyoming in the first WAC Championship game. That record was re-written once more when 42,075 fans saw the Badgers return to face the Rebels on Aug. 31, 2002. The 2006 Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl upped the record to 44,615 in a game between BYU and Oregon.

The stadium has hosted some of the greatest talents in sports and show business. Future NFL quarterbacks Randall Cunningham, Jim McMa-hon, Drew Bledsoe, Andre Ware, Alex Smith, John Beck and Colt Brennan are among those who have played at Sam Boyd Stadium along with events involving athletes such as soccer legend Pele and motor sports stars. Ad-ditionally, the stadium has hosted world-class concerts by such musical acts as the Dave Matthews Band, the Eagles, U2, Paul McCartney, Wayne Newton, and the once-annual summer appearances by the Grateful Dead.

A mecca for football played on all levels, the stadium is currently site of the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas each December, including three consecutive sold-out crowds, after serving as home to three Western Athletic Confer-ence championship games from 1996-98. The facility has served as host to professional football three times: the new UFL is scheduled to premiere

THE STAR OF NEVADA MARCHING BAND

Numbering more than 100 strong, the Star of Nevada Marching Band, which began in its present form in 1978, is a big part of Rebel Football Gameday. Whether it’s pumping up the crowds at the Rebel Experience or entertaining fans at halftime, home Saturdays at Sam Boyd Stadium would not be the same without strains of “Win with the Rebels” peppering the autumn air. Directed by Tony LaBounty, the UNLV band is announced by Dr. Harvey Allen who in 2009 goes into his 31st season as the voice of the Star of Nevada Marching Band.

UNLV FIGHT SONG

“WIN WITH THE REBELS”Win with the Rebels a victory today!

Win with the Rebels, the Scarlet and Gray.From mountains that surround

you to far across the sea.We’ll win with the Rebels of UNLV.

U-N-L-V UNLV Go, Fight, Win.We’ll win with the Rebels of UNLV.

UNLV ALMA MATER

Truth and wisdom from your standardIn our minds and hearts will stay

Alma Mater, we cherish you.And in our days that are yet to be,

THE REBEL EXPERIENCEPremiering at Sam Boyd Stadium in 1997 was the Rebel Experience. Situated in the northwest parking lot, the 64,000-square-foot-area is predominantly grass and includes six 30x60-foot cement pads that can be reserved for large gatherings and corporate outings.

UNLV CHEERLEADERS & DANCE TEAM

Two of the nation’s best-known spirit squads, the UNLV Cheerleaders and the UNLV Dance Team (Rebel Girls) are fixtures at all Rebel football games. The teams perform at various UNLV athletic events and volunteer their time to appear at various events throughout the Las Vegas community. The Cheer & Dance Teams also devote time to instructing the UNLV Rebel Starzz – a group of young dancers ages 3-16 that performs at games each fall.

REBEL GAMEDAY

HEY REBEmbodying the Rebel spirit of the University he promotes, UNLV’s Hey Reb made his debut in 1983 and received a makeover in 1997. Recently named one of 12 All-American Mascots, he competed for the title of 2004 Capital One Mascot of the Year and made a strong showing by coming in second in online voting. No stranger to national television, however, Hey Reb also appeared in two memorable ESPN SportsCenter commercials.

VOICE OF THE REBELS DICK CALVERT A familiar sound to UNLV fans of all ages, Dick Calvert, the “Voice of the Rebels”, is in his fourth decade as the game announcer for UNLV Athletics. Calvert, who calls UNLV football, basketball, men’s & women’s soccer, baseball games and other events at Sam Boyd Stadium, Thomas & Mack Center, Cox Pavilion, Peter Johann Memorial Field, and Earl E. Wilson Stadium, has also served as the game announcer of the MWC basketball

tournament, the Las Vegas Bowl and the NBA Vegas Summer League. Additionally, the longtime university staffer, works many MWC Championships hosted by UNLV and is the official starter for a number of university and NCAA golf tournaments. Calvert annually works over 100 local events. The former play-by-play broadcaster is also one of the most experienced commentators of American professional soccer, having served 18 seasons in both the North American and Major Soccer Leagues. Calvert had the privilege of working in three World Cups. The Las Vegas resident retired from broadcasting and the UNLV athletics department after serving as the director of broadcasting, director of athletic marketing for Olympic sports and director of athletic facilities/operations. Calvert and his wife Anne have four adult children and are the proud grandparents of 10.

THE FREMONT CANNON Trophy Helps Illustrate Importance of State Rivalry

Not simply a traveling trophy for the win-ner of the UNLV vs. Nevada, Reno game,

the Fremont Cannon is ever-present at the now-annual Battle for Nevada. The tradition of awarding the cannon to the victors started four decades ago when the Rebels’ first football coach, Bill Ireland, felt the young rivalry between

the north and south schools could use a symbolic trophy to stimulate interest. The

prize turned out to be a replica of the howitzer used by John C. Fremont, one of America’s foremost trailblazers, as he headed west into Nevada in 1843. Legend has it that Fremont violated U.S. War Department rules by taking the cannon with him on his westward trek without permission and then abandoned the weapon in a Sierra-Nevada snowdrift. Built by the Kennecott Copper Corp., Ne-vada Mines Division, the cannon was originally valued at more than $10,000 and is considered one of the best, and loudest, symbols of rivalry in college football. The Fremont is one of only two cannon prizes in all rivalry games, along with Illinois vs. Purdue. The Wolf Pack held the cannon first be-cause they had beaten the Rebels 30-28 in the initial game of the series on Thanksgiving Day 1969. UNLV promptly won rights to the big gun in 1970 with a 42-30 home win and went on to dominate the series with eight wins in the next 11 games played. After UNR rebounded to win five straight games (1989-1993), UNLV regained the cannon in its Silver Anniversary Year in 1994. Last year’s UNR win put the Wolf Pack ahead

19-15 in the series, which has been con-tinuous since 1987. The teams will meet in Reno on Oct. 3, 2009, to once again decide who gets to keep the cannon.

Opened as a satellite campus in 1957, the southern regional division of the Univer- sity of Nevada became Nevada South-

ern University in 1965 and finally evolved into University of Nevada, Las Vegas four years later when the Board of Regents granted it autonomy under the state’s higher education system. Men’s basketball was the first sport organized at UNLV, opening play in 1958 under head coach and athletic director Michael “Chub” Drakulich. Baseball, also coached by Drakulich, started in 1960 and football came to campus nearly a decade later when head coach Bill Ireland’s squad went 8-1 in 1968. Women’s club sports such as tennis emerged in 1960 under administrator Alice Mason but bas-ketball became the first women’s varsity sport in 1974. UNLV currently sponsors seven men’s and 10 women’s athletic programs.

NICKNAME The nickname “Rebels” was given to UNLV athletic teams because the school, emerging from the shadow of the University of Nevada, Reno, in effect “rebelled” against its bigger and older brother to the north. The name “Runnin’ Rebels” (always spelled without a ‘g’) was coined in 1974 by then-sports information director Dominic Clark but refers only to the UNLV men’s basketball team. COLORS The school colors of Scarlet and Gray can be traced to the late-1950s when UNLV adopted as mascot a wolf wearing a Confederate uniform. Scarlet and Gray were traditional colors of the Confederacy

with its gray uniforms and red-based flag.

MASCOT Today it’s Hey Reb but some at UNLV still remem-ber the first official Rebel mascot — Beauregard. Dressed in a gray military field jacket and Confederate cap, Beau is a fanged, winking, black and white cartoon wolf. He came to be because the new school in South-ern Nevada wanted to take a little jab at the Wolf Pack mascot of Nevada, Reno.

“UNLV was rebelling against the status quo and the two schools’ mascots seemed to mimic the Civil War,” said former UNLV president Don Baepler, who later directed the Marjorie Bar-rick Museum of Natural History on campus. “Reno had a northern

looking wolf so we wanted a Confederate wolf.” The logo lasted until the early 1970s when a group of black athletes came to Baepler, who was academic vice president at the time, and voiced its displeasure with having a mascot that had a connec-tion with the wrong side of the Civil War. “They said it didn’t feel right playing for a school with such a mascot...and I agreed,” said Baepler. “Southern Nevada has no real ties to the Confederacy so the change wasn’t a big concern.” The student senate voted on a new mascot and the human Rebel logo was born. Initially, a Colonial-like Rebel soldier was the official logo and there was talk at

one time of changing UNLV’s nickname to Minutemen. Essentially there was no recognized UNLV mascot for about a half-decade spilling

into the early 1980s. Enter Mike Miller, the award-winning local graphic artist who eventually became the creator of the cartoon man with a long moustache known as Hey Reb. Miller said his inspiration for the logo was historical

Nevada frontiersmen from the 1800s such as John C. Fremont and Kit Carson. “The character is supposed to be a trailblazer

of the old West,” said Miller. “I just sketched out a little mountain man with a long coat that had some fringe on it.” Despite the new Rebel eventually being displayed as having striking white hair on his head and face, Miller said Hey Reb was never supposed to be an old man and put his intended age at around 30 years old. As for the unusual name of the new character, there was no campus contest or high-priced marketing focus group involved. “I just wrote Hey Reb on the back of his coat on one of the many variations I gave them,” he said. “I was hoping it would be a good slogan – a yell-out cheer at games – but it never really caught on.” The mascot, however, did catch on in a big way as UNLV vaulted to the top in college apparel

licensing within the decade. In 1997, a more muscular version of Hey Reb, minus a musket, was introduced and a refreshed version was developed in 2006. Beauregard may not be prevalent in today’s

UNLV athletic events but he’s certainly not gone and forgotten. The original sketch of the wolf was converted into a mid-court painting for

basketball games played in the old University gymnasium. Today, visitors can visit the black, white, scarlet and gray logo circle in its original position at what is now the Bar-

rick Museum, which still uses the existing oak hardwood basketball floor to hold its exhibits.

DAVE McCANNRadio Play-by-PlayBack at the microphone this fall calling the UNLV football action is play-by-play voice Dave McCann. The local veteran broadcaster was the sports director at CBS affiliate KLAS-TV 8 for over a decade before moving to anchor the station’s morning news in 2006. McCann previously worked play-by-play for UNLV football in 1996 and ’97 and then called MWC and WAC football and basketball games on television. He has hosted the “Gametime with UNLV Football” coach’s show on KLAS since 1995 and will also co-host the weekly “Mike Sanford Radio Show” again this fall. A native of the Beehive State, McCann

began writing sports for the Utah Daily Herald at age 14 and landed his first job in radio two years later. At age 21, he broadcast BYU and Air Force games for the Blue & White Network as sideline reporter and halftime host. A 1991 BYU graduate, McCann is married to the former Colleen Parsons and the couple has five children.

MIKE PRITCHARDRadio Game AnalystLas Vegas native and former NFL star Mike Pritchard joined the UNLV broadcasting team in 2006 as radio analyst for Rebel football. After a stellar career as a running back at Las Vegas’ Rancho High School, Pritchard went on to the University of Colorado (1987-90) where he would become the second-leading receiver in school history with 1,241 yards. His college career included being named team MVP during the Buffaloes’ 1990 National Championship season. Pritchard was the 13th overall selection by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1991 NFL Draft and became one of five players in league history to catch more

than 200 passes in his first three seasons. He played nine years in the NFL: three with the Falcons, two with the Broncos and four with the Seahawks. Pritchard was inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame in June 2007.

RADIO HOME OF THE REBELSAll 12 UNLV football games can be heard on Rebel flagship station ESPN 1100AM (KWWN). Dave McCann and Mike Pritchard will again bring Rebel fans all the

action as part of a continuing partnership with Lotus Broadcasting. Games begin each week with a full half-hour of pre-game analysis

and features. ESPN 1100 is also the home to “The Mike Sanford Radio Show,” which will air live on Thursdays from 7-8 p.m. PT unless otherwise announced.

“GAMETIME WITH UNLV FOOTBALL”For the 15th consecutive season, “Gametime with UNLV Football” with host Dave McCann can be seen every Sunday on KLAS TV-8 (CBS). Running at 11:30 p.m., the show features head coach Mike Sanford for an entertaining half-hour of game reviews, previews and an inside look at the team. The show will also air on sister station LV ONE (Cox Cable channel 19) at 1:30 a.m. Monday morning.

UNLV TO APPEAR ON THE MTN., CBS C AND VERSUS THIS SEASONThe Mountain West Conference television package reaches a national audience through a combination of telecasts on The MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.), CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and VERSUS. The Mtn. has been available to cable subscribers in the MWC footprint since it first aired in

2006-07 and is now available nationally on DIRECTV (Channel 616). In 2009, UNLV football will make one appearance on Versus, one on CBS College Sports and seven more on The Mtn.

On Aug. 26, 2004, College Sports Television (CSTV) and the MWC announced a visionary partnership that revolutionized the college sports landscape. The landmark agreement was the first NCAA Division I football and men’s basketball conference-wide deal for CSTV and provided the network exclusive rights to all conference events, including cable and satellite television coverage, national over-the-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand and online broadcast rights.

A succession of events since the fall of 2004 has improved the television model, including CSTV’s merger with Comcast SportsNet to create The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network and CBS Corporation’s purchase of CSTV. In 2008, CBS incorporated CSTV’s cable, broadcast and online activities into its world-famous brand.

The Mtn. is co-owned by CBS C and Comcast SportNet. The relationship with Comcast SportNet also delivered another national broadcast partner in VERSUS. The MWC was the first exclusive college programming provider for the Comcast-owned entity, with football and both men’s and women’s basketball games. The CBS C/MWC partnership has guaranteed greater levels of television exposure for all league sports and has resoundingly met the fundamental goals

of more exposure and preferred start times and dates.In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch

of The Mtn. – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. The Mtn. provides sports fans blanket coverage of MWC athletics across multiple sports, including foot-ball, men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s Olympic sports. Along with live games, fans get a comprehensive array of news, features and analysis about their favorite MWC teams and players. In 2008-09, more than 250 MWC events were shown live on The Mtn., CBS C and VERSUS. CBS C is currently in over 30 million homes, while VERSUS is in more than 74 million households.

REBEL FOOTBALL NETWORK TELEVISION APPEARANCES

NATIONAL EXPOSURESince 2000, UNLV football has made appearances on CBS C, VERSUS, The Mtn., ABC, TBS, Fox Sports West & Fox Sports Arizona, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN U, ESPN+Plus and SportsWest. A new era began in the fall of 2006 as College Sports Television (CSTV, which was renamed CBS College Sports in 2008) became the official television partner for the Mountain West Conference, which forged a potential 14-year agreement that gave the fastest-growing independent cable network exclusive rights to football and men’s basketball, plus coverage for all other league sports. The multi-media partnership also includes The Mtn., the first-ever sports network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference. This fall, nine Rebel games will be available nationally through either CBS C, VERSUS or The Mtn.

UNLV, which has had 88 games televised in Las Vegas since

1999, opened on national television for five straight seasons

the nation and made history by crashing the elite Bowl Championship Series and earning a trip to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In his two years as Utah’s offensive coordinator, Sanford helped instigate one of the biggest offensive turnarounds in the nation while directing an innovative spread offense. Utah, which finished last in the MWC in scoring offense in 2002, ranked third in the nation in ‘04 at 43.3 points per game and boasted Heisman Trophy finalist Alex Smith, who went on to become the top pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. A three-decade college and NFL coaching veteran, Sanford went to Utah from Stanford, where he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2002. Most of his coaching career has been spent at the collegiate level,

O One of college football’s leading offensive minds, Mike Sanford was hired as the ninth head coach in Rebel football history on Dec. 6, 2004. Charged with reviving a program coming off four straight losing seasons, Sanford, 54, entered his first head coaching position following an outstanding career as one of the top assistants in the nation. After winning a total of six games in his first three seasons leading the still-undermanned program, the 2008 Rebels finally saw fruits of their labor by coming within one victory of bowl eligibility and having shocked the nation with an upset at No. 13 Arizona State earlier in the campaign. UNLV also set numerous school records on offense last fall, including tying with Ohio State for the national lead in red-zone scoring percentage as well as posting the fewest overall penalty yards in a single season. At UNLV, Sanford replaced his college coach, John Robinson, who retired after a legendary career that included six seasons with the Rebels. “I have been preparing for this moment for 27 years as a coach and I am extremely honored and excited to be leading UNLV football,” Sanford said when he came aboard. “The UNLV job was one I looked upon with great respect over the years. Because of the way this university and city are emerging, this football program is a gold mine. This is a great community and campus that offer so many opportunities and advantages. This football program is ready to explode.” Before heading to the desert, Sanford had spent the previous two seasons as offensive coordinator at the University of Utah, which went 21-2 overall and 13-1 in the Mountain West Conference during his time in Salt Lake City. In fact, the 2004 Utes finished ranked fourth in

although he spent three years as the receivers coach for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers from 1999-2001. His NCAA Division I coaching experience includes stints at Notre Dame, USC, Purdue, Long Beach State, Virginia Military Institute and Army. A California native, Sanford is regarded as one of the top recruiters of the Golden State, which is a key cog in the building of any winning team at UNLV. Sanford’s first coaching position was as a graduate assistant under the man he replaced, Robinson, at Southern California in 1977. His full-time coaching chronology began in 1978 as the defensive coordinator at San Diego City College. As an assistant coach, Sanford participated in nine bowl games

with three programs. As the wide receivers coach at USC from 1989-96, Sanford assisted in two Pac-10 championships and two Rose Bowl victories (vs. Michigan in 1990 and Northwestern in 1996). Three of his Trojan receivers were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft: Curtis Conway in 1992, Johnnie Morton in 1993 and Keyshawn Johnson, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft and a consensus All-American in 1995. As a player, Sanford was a reserve quarterback for USC’s 1973 and 1974 Rose Bowl teams (the 1974 team beat Ohio State

for the national championship). He played free safety in 1976 when USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl and finished second in the nation. Sanford, born on April 20, 1955, earned his bachelor’s degree

from USC in 1978. He and his wife, Melinda, have two children: daughter, Lindsay, and son, Mike, who played quarterback at Boise State from 2001-04, and, after two seasons as a graduate assistant for the Rebels, joined the Stanford coaching staff in 2007

and then moved to Yale in 2009. The Sanfords welcomed their first grandchild, granddaughter Hailey Anne Hanover, in September of 2007.

GARY BERNARDIOffensive Line/Tight Ends

Veteran football man Gary Bernardi enters his fifth season at UNLV and will again oversee the Rebel offensive tackles and tight ends as well as direct the program’s recruiting efforts. A longtime assistant in the Pac-10 Conference, Bernardi has coached in 12 bowl games, including four Rose Bowls. In 2007 Bernardi mentored freshman left tackle Matt Murphy, who earned Football Writers of American and AON Insurance First Team Freshman All-America honors while also being named honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference. Murphy was one of only 12 freshmen on the FBWA list. He spent the 2004 season as offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Northern Arizona University prior to joining UNLV in 2005. Previous to joining the Lumberjacks, he spent 10 seasons coaching at UCLA and helped put together multiple nationally ranked recruiting classes with the Bruins. He began his coaching career at the University of Arizona in 1980 and worked for the Wildcats until following head coach Larry Smith to USC in 1987, where he would eventually serve on the same Trojans staff as Mike Sanford. Bernardi has tutored seven NFL-bound tight ends and worked with future pro offensive linemen such as Jonathan Ogden, Kris Farris and Tony Boselli. “I have known Gary Bernardi for a long time, which included coaching alongside him at USC,” Sanford said. “He is an extremely hard-working coach who has proven to be a great recruiter at places like USC and UCLA. He has had opportunities from other schools and has remained with us, which we are extremely excited about.” Bernardi began his coaching career at Bell-Jeff High School in Burbank, Calif. (1973-74), and spent 1975 as an assistant at his alma mater of Monroe High School in Sepulveda, Calif. From 1976-79, he served as receivers and tight ends coach at Fountain Valley (Calif.) High School, including working with future All-American Ken Margerum. Bernardi moved to UCLA after serving as head coach at Burroughs High School in Burbank in 1993. An all-league receiver at Monroe before graduating in 1971, Bernardi attended College of the Canyons before moving on to Cal Sate Northridge, where he earned his degree in 1976. While at UCLA, Bernardi was a key member of the Los Angeles chapter of the ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Association and has assisted in their on-going fundraising efforts.

Gary and his wife, Leigh are the parents of three children:

Marina (25), who works at Medtronic Inc., and 22-year-old twins Briana, who wil l be a senior softball player at UNLV this season, and Joe, who will be a junior offensive lineman at Fresno State.

TODD BERRYAssociate Head CoachOffensive CoordinatorQuarterbacks

Todd Berry enters his third season with UNLV and serves as the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and associate head coach. During his time in Las Vegas, he has developed arguably the top QB combo in the Mountain West with record-setting signal callers Omar Clayton and Mike Clausen back under center in 2009. Last season’s UNLV offense tied for the national lead in red-zone scoring percentage (95 percent) while tying the school mark for fewest interceptions thrown (six) and helping set the Rebel record for fewest total penalty yards. “Todd Berry has great coaching experience, has been a head coach and is one of the top offensive coordinators in the country,” Mike Sanford said. “I am very excited to have him as a part of our staff.” Berry came to UNLV with a wealth of coaching experience, including stints as head coach at Army and Illinois State. Prior to joining the Rebels he was quarterbacks coach at the University of Miami for the 2006 season. Berry joined the Hurricanes’ staff after two years running a spread offense at Louisiana-Monroe in 2004-05. That followed four seasons as head coach at Army where his teams set 25 Academy records. He moved to West Point after a wildly successful run as head coach at Illinois State from 1996-99, presiding over one of the most remarkable turnarounds in Division I-AA history. A team that had not won a conference title since 1950 advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in his third season in 1998. The following year, the Redbirds were undefeated in the conference and advanced to the I-AA semifinals. He was a semifinalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award in both 1998 and 1999. His teams set more than 100 records during his four seasons as head coach, and he compiled a record of 19-7 his last two seasons. Berry was offensive coordinator at East Carolina from 1992-95, and the Pirates went to the Liberty Bowl his last two seasons. He was the offensive coordinator at Southeast Missouri State in 1991, receivers coach at Missis-sippi State in 1989 and 1990, and offensive coordinator at Tennessee-Martin from 1986-88. Berry was a graduate assistant at Tennessee (1983) and Oklahoma State (1985), as well as the receivers coach at his alma mater, Tulsa (1984). He was a quarterback for the Golden Hurricane before graduating from the school in 1983. Berry and wife Lisa have two daughters, Jordan (22) and Ryleigh (7).

MIKE BRADESONSpecial Teams CoordinatorCornerbacks

The dean of UNLV assistant coaches, Mike Bradeson, heads into his 14th season with the Rebel program. After having served five years (2000-04) as the program’s defensive coordinator, he is back again this fall to coach the Rebel cornerbacks. Bradeson will also oversee the Rebels’ special teams for the third consecutive season. At UNLV, Bradeson has overseen the development of future NFL DBs Kevin Thomas (Bills), Sam Brandon (Broncos), Eric Wright (Browns) and two-time All-America safety Jamaal Brimmer. “Mike Bradeson is an outstanding coach, very organized and detailed,” head coach Mike Sanford said. “He is talented, very hard working and I think he is one of the best secondary coaches in the country.” Under Bradeson in 2003, the Rebel defense led the conference in takeaways with 35 en route to finishing seventh in the nation in turnover margin. The unit’s five TDs were led by Brimmer, who scored twice en route to First Team All-America honors and being named consensus MWC Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. In 2001, the Rebels led the MWC in passing defense by yielding only 189.4 yards per game and ranked 11th nationally in passing efficiency defense as well. In 2000, UNLV surrendered only 21.8 points per game, the 12th-lowest mark in school history and best since 1986. The stinginess culminated in a dominating performance in the team’s 31-14 victory over Arkansas in the Las Vegas Bowl when the Hogs were held to just 115 yards on the ground. Bradeson came to the Rebels in 1996 after four years coaching the secondary at the University of California. He spent his first season in Las Vegas working with the team’s inside linebackers. A 1981 graduate of Boise State, Bradeson was a two-year letterman for the Broncos. He helped his team to the 1980 Div. I-AA national championship with a win over Eastern Kentucky in the Camellia Bowl. After serving as a graduate assistant for two years, Bradeson was an assistant coach at his alma mater from 1983-85. From there, he moved to Nevada, Reno, where he spent six seasons as secondary coach and recruiting coordinator. He was also special teams coach his last four years with the Wolf Pack before moving to Cal in

1992. D e e p l y r o o t e d in the Bay Area, B r a d e s o n w a s born in Berkeley and attended Pinole Valley High School before lettering two years at Contra Costa College in 1977-78.

KRIS CINKOVICHWide Receivers

Kris Cinkovich goes into his sixth season as the Rebels’ wide receivers coach, and the former veteran Las Vegas high school coach has helped build one of the strongest units in the nation. “Having coach Kris Cinkovich on this staff is a big plus because not only is he an excellent football coach but his relationships with football coaches here in Las Vegas are a real plus for us in recruiting,” head coach Mike Sanford said. During the 2006 season Cinkovich watched Ryan Wolfe set several Mountain West Conference and UNLV freshman records while both Wolfe and Casey Flair earned All-MWC honors. It was the first time since 1994 that a pair of Rebel receivers picked up all-league accolades. Flair broke the school record for career receptions last season, only to find himself later passed by Wolfe, who enters 2009 with 209 career catches after becoming the first WR in school history to be named first team all-conference twice in a career. Cinkovich came to campus from Las Vegas High School, where he oversaw the Wildcats for nine seasons, building one of the state’s top programs en route to compiling a record of 79-24. In 1995, he took LVHS to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years and in 2001 brought the school its first state championship since 1959. Cinkovich’s squads won three regional titles and were ranked among the best on the West Coast three times by USA TODAY. No stranger to UNLV, Cinkovich was a graduate assistant coach in charge of running backs on Jim Strong’s 1991 Rebel staff before moving to Green Valley High School as offensive coordinator for three seasons. A 1984 graduate of Carroll College in Helena, Mont., Cinkovich earned his master’s degree from Central Washington in 1987. He and his wife, Joanie, have two daughters, Carly (21) and Stephanie (18).

ANDRE PATTERSONAssistant Head CoachDefensive Line

Andre Patterson in 2009 enters his second season overseeing the UNLV defensive line while also serving as assistant head coach. Patterson’s wealth of experience came from the NFL, college and high school levels. Most recently he spent two seasons coaching the defensive line/tackles for the Denver Broncos (2005-06) and worked in similar capacities for the Cleveland Browns (2003-04), Dallas Cowboys (2000-02), Minnesota Vikings (1998-99) and New England Patriots (1997). Some of the notable linemen that have thrived under Patterson’s tutelage include Gerard Warren, Ebenezer Ekuban (both the Browns and Broncos), La’Roi Glover (Cowboys) and Chris Doleman and John Randle (Vikings). He also coached former Rebel end Talance Sawyer when both were in Minnesota in 1999. “Andre Patterson is simply a great addition to our football program,” Sanford said. “His combination of experience as a college head football coach and 10 seasons as an outstanding defensive line coach in the NFL makes him a perfect fit for our staff.” Patterson coached nine seasons in college before heading to the NFL. He was the head coach at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo from 1994-96 and was named American West Conference Coach of the Year in 1994 as he led the Mustangs to the league title with a 7-4 record. Before that he was defensive line coach at Washington State (1992-93) and oversaw the development of two future NFL linemen (Chad Eaton and Lewis Bush) for the Cougars. He also coached the line at Cornell (1990-91) and served as the defensive coordinator at Western Washington (1989). Before working as defensive line coach at Weber State in 1988, Patterson coached five years at the prep level at St. Monica High School in California (head coach, 1987) and Renton High School in Washington (1983-86). Patterson began his coaching career in 1982 as a graduate assistant for the University of Montana, where he played one season of football after transferring from Contra Costa College in San Pablo, Calif. He graduated from the Big Sky Conference school with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education in 1983. Born on June 12, 1960, in Camden, Ark., Patterson and his wife, Donna, have a son, Andre Jr. (17), and a daughter, Ashmera (10).

DeANDRE SMITHRunning Backs

One of two new coaches on the 2009 UNLV staff, DeAndre Smith came to Las Vegas after spending last season in the same position at fellow Mountain West Conference program New Mexico, where he coached 1,105-yard rusher Rodney Ferguson. Smith joined the Lobos after three seasons at Miami (Ohio) where he served as the running game coordinator and running backs coach. He was also promoted to associate head coach there in 2007. “DeAndre Smith brings with him great experience, including right here in the Mountain West Conference,” UNLV head coach Mike Sanford said. “He’s a very enthusiastic teacher and is a great addition to our staff.” Prior to Miami, Smith spent four seasons (2001-04) at Northern Illinois where he was part of three Mid-American Conference West Division championship teams. Under his guidance, NIU produced four straight all-conference running backs from 2001-04, including future NFL star Michael Turner, who rushed for a league-record 1,915 yards in 2002. Under Smith’s tutelage, Turner led the MAC in rushing twice (2002-03), while sophomore Garrett Wolfe paced the league in 2004 and ranked fifth nationally with 1,656 yards. A graduate of Missouri State in Springfield, Smith was a standout quarterback for the Bears, earning All-America honors and National Offensive Player of the Year recognition in 1990. Smith totaled 6,356 yards of total offense, including 2,276 rushing yards, and accounted for 58 touchdowns during his career, earning the Gateway Conference Offensive Player of the Decade award for 1985-95. After earning his degree in organizational communication from Missouri State in 1992, Smith went on to play professionally for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (1992) and in France (1993). He began his coaching career in 1999, serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at I n d i a n a State for two seasons. Smith and his wife, Lori, have three children: daughter Ashley (18), and sons Ryan (13) and Donovan (7).

Stugart came to Las Vegas after spending three seasons as the head coach of MidAmerica Nazarene University, compiling a 26-7 record at the NAIA school located in Olathe, Kansas. “Jed will offer a lot of experience because he has been a successful head coach,” Sanford said. “He spent a lot of time working in the footprint of the Mountain West Conference (at UNC) and his strong background in coaching defense, specifically linebackers, will help us tremendously.” After leading the Pioneers to an undefeated regular season, a Heart of America Conference title and second consecutive trip to the playoffs, Stugart was named 2008 NAIA Region 3 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. Previous to MNU, he was on the staff at Northern Colorado from 1999-2006. Stugart was the defensive line coach before taking over the linebackers as defensive coordinator in 2003, the same year that the UNC defense ranked 16th in the nation in total defense and 13th in scoring defense.

DENNIS THERRELLDefensive CoordinatorSafeties

Veteran coach Dennis Therrell enters his third season with the UNLV program and second as defensive coordinator. He also moves over to coach the Rebel safeties in 2009 after spending the previous two seasons mentoring the UNLV linebackers.Therrell served as position coach for 2007 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year Beau Bell, who would go on to be selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Therrell has more than 25 years of college coaching experience and spent the 2006 season as a volunteer coach with Auburn, where he worked under current Texas coach-in-waiting Will Muschamp. “Dennis Therrell is an experienced defensive coordinator and he will bring great knowledge and ability to the position,” head coach Mike Sanford said. “He did a great job as our linebackers coach during his first year on the staff, including helping make Beau Bell a more complete player.” Before Auburn, Therrell spent two seasons as defensive coordinator at Murray State from 2004-05, and the Racer defense ranked fourth in the country in 2004. Before coming to MSU, he spent four years at Army under current UNLV offensive coordinator Todd Berry, who was head coach of the Black Knights. Previously, Therrell was the defensive coordinator at Illinois State from 1997-99, helping the Redbirds to the 1999 NCAA Division I-AA semifinals.

2009 UNLV SIGNING CLASS UNLV’s fifth, and arguably best, football recruiting class under head coach Mike Sanford was announced with 22 student-athletes making up the list of future Rebels for the second straight season. “We have an excellent nucleus of players returning to this team and we felt like we needed to add to the existing group to take the next step, and that is to compete for the Mountain West Conference championship,” Sanford said. “This is the best class we have signed in my time here and gives us a great opportunity to reach our goals. There are players in this class that are going to make an immediate impact, especially the junior college guys, but we also signed a lot of players who are going to add competition now and be starters in the future.” The group boasted eight players who were assigned at least three stars by either Scout or Rivals, which is the most on record for the program. In addition, no less than seven players were ranked among the nation’s top 100 at their respective positions by Scout, Rivals or Scouts, Inc. UNLV’s class consisted of student-athletes whose hometowns were spread among five states: 12 from California, five from Nevada, two each from Texas and Arizona and one from Maryland. The total of five signees from the Las Vegas area marked the most announced in a UNLV recruiting class from the state of Nevada since Sanford’s initial class and ties with three other years for the most on record (2005, 2001, 1999 and 1994). The recruits list, which did not include four grayshirts who signed a year ago but joined the program this January as true freshmen, featured five junior-college players, three of which signed during December’s early period and are currently enrolled at UNLV. The class leaned toward defense with 12 players hailing from that side of the ball. The secondary dominated the list as eight defensive backs signed on to help rebuild the Rebel backfield. The full breakdown is as follows: 8 DB, 4 OL, 4 WR, 2 LB, 2 DL, 1 RB and 1 QB.

2008 SEASON REVIEW

For the first time in a while, the headlines being produced by the action on the football field in Las Vegas were largely positive in 2008: “Road Rebels Dump Nation’s No. 13 Team”

“Clayton Takes Place Among Elite QBs” “Flair & Wolfe Shatter Receiving Record Book”

“UNLV Earns Most Overall Wins in Five Years” “Scarlet & Gray Claim Best Home Mark Since 2000”

Yet, while much of the news was good for the UNLV football program last year, it was the final story that dampened the memory of the overall campaign and it is one that the players and coaches will do their best to avoid writing again: “Rebels Fall One Win Short of Bowl Eligibility.”

“I thought we took significant steps forward in 2008,” said head coach Mike Sanford about his fourth season at the helm. “The victories at Arizona State and then here against Iowa State were tremendous. We went through a losing streak in the middle of the season but came back to put ourselves in position to become bowl eligible with wins over New Mexico and Wyoming. Then we had a very disappointing and frustrating loss at the end of the season. We had an opportunity to do a lot more in 2008, but fell short. It serves as a motivating factor in the offseason because we were so close and didn’t get it done. Now we have to get it done.”

While the hosts debuted newly redesigned Nike jerseys, GAME ONE fea-tured a visit by Utah State that opened the 40th anniversary season of UNLV football and produced a second consecutive lid-lifting win over the Aggies. With 2007 GAME ONE starter Travis Dixon moving over to defense during preseason camp, sophomore Omar Clayton became the fourth different season-opening starting quarterback in as many years for the Rebels and quickly removed all doubt about the decision. The former fifth-string invited walk-on from Normal, Ill., was turnover-free while completing 17-29 attempts for 192 yards and three touchdowns, two of which went to star junior Ryan Wolfe, who finished the night with 103 yards on seven grabs. The third score was a go-up-and-get-it reception by true freshman Phillip Payne from seven yards out that gave Rebel fans a taste of the excitement that would be cooked up for many weeks by Clayton and the talented rookie from Las Vegas. The hosts at one point led 24-7 and made the final 27-17 after a 42-yard field goal by Ben Jaekle closed UNLV’s scoring with seven minutes remaining.

Hitting the road for an early Mountain West Conference opener in GAME TWO, the Rebels looked primed to earn their first-ever win in Salt Lake City, leading in the second quarter before two key injuries changed the game. After Frank “The Tank” Summers gave his team a 7-0 lead with a two-yard burst, the Rebel defense was decimated in the second quarter by losing its top two tacklers – LBs Starr Fuimaono and Ronnie Paulo – to game-ending injuries on consecutive plays. Utah, behind MWC Offensive Player of the Year Brian Johnson at quarterback, took full advantage and caught up to make it 14-14 at halftime. The future Sugar Bowl Champions would score 28 unanswered points in the second half and cruise to a 42-21 victory to drop UNLV to 0-7 all-time at Utah and avenge the Rebels’ 27-0 shutout win the previous season.

Playing ranked teams on the road in consecutive weeks for the second time in school history, UNLV traveled down to nearby Tempe for the first-ever meeting with Arizona State in GAME THREE. Undefeated and ranked as high as 13th, the Sun Devils seemed more concerned with Georgia coming to town the following week than with the boys from the Mountain West -- and the visitors took full advantage. With ASU leading 10-3 in the second quarter, freshman linebacker Beau Orth first submitted the blueprints for an upset by picking off Rudy Carpenter and returning it to the ASU two-yard line. Despite suffering a slight jaw fracture on the play, Clayton promptly found Payne for the game-

tying touchdown before ASU’s all-everything kicker Thomas Weber nailed a 49-yard field goal to give his team a tenuous 13-10 lead at the break. With the Rebel defense largely denying the Pac-10 team’s attack, ASU finally broke through for a 49-yard catch-and-run TD to go ahead 20-10. Hanging around into the fourth quarter, UNLV put through a short field goal with 6:28 left in regulation. The Rebels forced a quick punt, got the ball back, and mounted an impressive drive with no timeouts that included Summers, who rushed for an astounding 98 yards in the second half after having exactly five in the

first, rumbling for a 29-yard pickup on a sideline pass. After Clayton converted a do-or-die fourth down attempt, he later scrambled and lofted a pass into the end zone that

Payne snared one handed while falling backwards to quiet most of the 59,852 at Sun Devil Stadium and forever enter the conversation for best play in Rebel football history. The teams headed to overtime, and UNLV, which brought in a staggering 1-7 record in extra ses-sions, got the ball first and settled for a short Kyle Watson field goal. ASU head coach Dennis Erickson was content to play conservative on his first possession and trotted Weber out for the potential game-tying three-pointer. That’s when sophomore defensive lineman Malo Taumua fought through the middle of the

line and got his right forearm squarely on the kick attempt to give the upstart Rebs a stunning 23-20 victory in the Arizona desert.

After getting the OT monkey off of its back, UNLV did it again just one week later in GAME FOUR. The Rebels bolted to a 21-0 advantage over visiting Iowa State and still led by that score halfway through the third quarter when the Cyclones rallied. The wild ending saw ISU drive 98 yards capped by an unlikely 28-yard pass for a game-tying TD to close out regulation. No matter, the Rebel defense rose up to hold the visitors to a field goal on their posses-sion and Clayton simply tossed one of his perfect now-famous fade attempts to Payne in the end zone during his side’s first offensive play to end it, 34-31, over the Big 12 Conference foe.

Sitting 3-1 and hosting in-state rival Nevada, Reno for GAME FIVE before 33,078 raucous fans, UNLV looked good early in taking leads of 10-0 and 17-7. The Rebel defense, however, could not contain dual-threat QB Colin Kaeper-nick as the talented sophomore ran for 240 yards and a trio of touchdowns to go with 176 passing yards and two more scores in the 49-27 setback.

Looking for their first league win of 2008, the Rebels traveled to Colorado State and produced a nail-biting, and ul-timately deflating, GAME SIX loss. Led by 109 rush-ing yards from Summers, UNLV scored 14 points in each of the first and final quarters to hold a 28-27 lead late in the fourth. CSU, how-ever, managed to

The Rebels won back-to-back OT games vs. ASU and Iowa State.

Casey Flair went from walk-on to record breaker.

post 14 points in the final nine seconds of the game to prevail 41-28.The gut-wrenching defeats continued the following week in GAME SEVEN

as Air Force spoiled UNLV’s Homecoming with a one-point victory. Rallying from a 14-0 deficit, the Rebels led 28-26 with 2:36 on the clock when the Falcons booted the go-ahead field goal and then held off a late Rebel charge into Falcon territory to escape 29-28.

GAME EIGHT saw UNLV head to Provo to take on 17th-ranked BYU and the heartache was extended yet another week. Behind an impressive 321-yard passing day from Clayton, the Rebs traded scores with the Cougars before 64,081 fans at a sunny LaVell Edwards Stadium. Wolfe’s 10-catch, 136-yard effort was punctuated with a go-ahead 15-yard TD that put his team up 35-34. It marked the third consecutive week that UNLV led its opponent with less than three minutes remaining but once again the other side found a way to go back on top. Now trailing by seven, Clayton led his team into position to force overtime, reaching the BYU 14-yard line, before seeing his Hail Mary attempt picked off in the end zone as time expired in the 42-35 final. The rare Rebel turnover also marked the first time all season that UNLV failed to score in the red zone after earning points in their first 25 trips inside the 20. Senior Casey Flair finished with eight catches, which pushed the former walk-on from Anchorage into first place on the school’s career list with 192.

Facing a ranked opponent for a UNLV-record fourth time in one season, No. 12 TCU came to town on the first day of November and dominated to the tune of 44-14. not only produced the team’s fifth consecutive defeat but also saw Clayton lost for the remainder of the season after injuring his knee while being tackled in the third quarter.

Now under the direction of redshirt freshman signal caller Mike Clausen, UNLV needed to win out to gain a .500 record and nearly did just that. Two highly entertaining home games were up next, starting with New Mexico in GAME 10. Clausen won his first collegiate start by efficiently managing his team and not turning the ball over. The Lobos looked good early, leading 14-3 and closing in on another TD when UNLV CB Quinton Pointer stepped in front of a halfback pass and raced 77 yards the other way before stumbling. The Rebels then outscored UNM 27-6 the rest of the game to earn their first MWC victory of the season. Clausen threw a pair of touchdowns and Deante’ Purvis blocked a Lobo punt that Rodelin Anthony ran in for an easy score. The UNLV defense held on the final drive and Ryan Tillman’s first career interception sealed the 27-20 victory.

After already having doubled their win total from each of the previous four years, the Rebels were a confident bunch in time for Senior Night 2008 vs. Wyoming in GAME 11. Playing a special Thursday game on national television, the teams were close through three periods. Electing to go for it on fourth-and-goal at the one, Sanford called Summers’ number and the senior leader did not disappoint, shedding a would-be tackler and rumbling in to give his team a precarious 15-14 lead in the final quarter. On the next possession, reserve LB Rusty Worthen picked off a tipped pass, setting up Clausen’s 19-yard score

to Anthony to close the scoring in the 22-14 victory.One week later, a win at last-place San Diego State in GAME 12 would

most likely deliver the Rebels their first bowl berth since 2000. It was not to be, however, as the Aztecs played inspired football while UNLV struggled soon after Summers left the game for good with an injury on the opening drive. Still only trailing by one TD in the third quarter and then again in the fourth, the Rebels saw their season come to an inglorious and surprising end as SDSU picked off Clausen on back-to-back pass attempts en route to throwing up 21 quick points to win going away, 42-21.

Wolfe’s final-game heroics of 144 yards on 11 catches pushed him past Flair and into first place on the school’s all-time list with 209. He also became the first 1,000-yard receiver for UNLV since Randy Gatewood way back in 1994. Poised to rewrite his program’s record book in his final season, Wolfe became the first receiver in school history to twice earn first team All-MWC honors in a career. Earning second team honors was linebacker Jason Beauchamp, who won the conference tackle title with 127 total takedowns.

Summers was the only Rebel invited to a post-season contest and he did not d i s a p p o i n t , showing off his running, catching and blocking skills in the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Game in El Paso. That performance, along with a su-perb all-around Pro Day effort back on campus in March, helped make the Tank the first Rebel runner since Ickey Woods in 1988 to be taken in the NFL Draft. Summers was chosen in the fifth round by the de-fending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers with the 169th overall pick.

Ryan Wolfe became his school’s career leader in catches, yards and 100-yard games in 2008.

Frank Summers was the first UNLV offensive skill player to be drafted in the NFL since 1995.

LAS VEGAS -- For the second time in as many years, UNLV (1-0) opened its season with a victory over Utah State (0-1), only this one came at home and there was no need for a second-half comeback. The Rebels took the lead for good in the second quarter on their way to a 27-17 win over the Aggies in front of 18,815 fans at Sam Boyd Stadium. Sophomore starting quarterback Omar Clayton threw a career-high three touchdown passes, two of them to Ryan Wolfe, who finished the game with seven catches for 103 yards. The duo got UNLV on the board first, connecting from nine yards out to cap a quick five-play drive midway through the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. The Rebels got the ball back on a fumble recovery and quickly turned the Aggie turnover into points. Utah State answered with a long drive of its own, with Robert Turbin finishing off a 12-play march down the field with a one-yard rumble into the end zone, knotting the game at seven. On the Rebels’ ensuing possession, Clayton orchestrated a 14-play drive that ate more than six minutes off the clock. Clayton was 5-for-8 on the drive, including finding Rebel rookie Phillip Payne three times, the final one a pretty seven-yard fade to the corner of the end zone to put UNLV back up, 14-7. Later in the second quarter, Lorenzo Bursey, a former receiver who moved to defensive back, picked off Sean Setzer with a little over a minute remaining in the half. UNLV moved the ball inside the five-yard line, setting up a 20-yard FG from Kyle Watson for a 17-7 halftime lead. The Rebel advantage grew to 24-7 when Wolfe took a swing pass from Clayton and weaved his way down field for a 32-yard touchdown. It was the second time in Wolfe’s career that he had two TD receptions in a game. The teams would then trade field goals, as Peter Caldwell connected from 42 yards out for USU, which was matched by Ben Jaekle, who drilled a 42-yard attempt for the Rebels. With nearly two minutes remaining in the game, Diondre Borel connected with Nmandi Gwacham for a six-yard TD pass, but the Rebels would recover the ensuing onside kick and run out the clock, giving Mike Sanford his third win in four career season openers. Clayton had 192 yards passing while Frank “The Tank” Summers picked up 87 yards on the ground on just 14 carries. Rebel linebackers Starr Fuimaono (14) and Ronnie Paulo (12) each posted career-highs in tackles to lead the defense.

• The Rebels won three consecutive season-opening games for the first time since 1983-85.• UNLV senior WR Casey Flair’s first-quarter catch meant that he had at least one reception in 36 straight games, or every game of his career. • Flair finished with four catches, moving him from seventh all the way into fifth place on the UNLV career list with 157. His 53 yards moved him into ninth place for all-time receiving yardage with 1,873. • UNLV snapped a five-game losing streak to USU in Las Vegas, downing the Aggies at Sam Boyd Stadium for the first time since 1987.• UNLV improved to 21-20 all-time in lid-lifters, including 16-6 when they came at home. • UNLV’s Omar Clayton started the game at quarterback, which meant the program has now started a different quarterback in five straight season openers.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- It was a tale of two halves and key injuries to a pair of linebackers in UNLV’s (1-1, 0-1) 42-21 loss at No. 22/23 Utah (2-0, 1-0) during the Rebels’ road and Mountain West Conference opener. UNLV came out quickly, scoring the game’s first touchdown to quiet a sold-out Rice-Eccles Stadium, as the Rebels would go into the locker room tied at 14 against the nationally ranked Utes. But before they reached the intermission, UNLV’s top tacklers, linebackers Starr Fuimaono and Ronnie Paulo, were injured and lost for the night. Utah took advantage, scoring a late touchdown to tie the game before exploding for 21 third-quarter points to blow open a close game. On their first possession, starting QB Omar Clayton took the Rebels down field in 11 plays, with Frank “The Tank” Summers picking up 40 yards on the ground, the capper being a two-yard burst into the end zone for a 7-0 lead. Both defenses then took hold, forcing a series of punts, before Utah answered with a touchdown of its own to tie the game at seven. On a third-and-long, Johnson dropped back to pass and eluded a blitzing Rusty Worthen, who was in for the injured Paulo. Johnson took off down the left sideline and raced 56 yards for the score. UNLV would answer, regaining the lead on a three-yard TD run by Summers. Utah’s second rushing touchdown of the game, a two-yard score by Matt Asiata with 52 seconds left in the half, knotted things up again. From there it was nearly all Utes, as they scored three touchdowns in the third quarter and a total of four unanswered TDs in the second half in racing out to a 42-14 lead. Late in the game Clayton, led a 16-play drive that ended with a 10-yard fade pass to Phillip Payne in the right corner of the end zone to close out the scoring. UNLV junior receiver Ryan Wolfe turned in a solid effort, catching 10 balls for 64 yards. It was the third time in his career that Wolfe caught at least 10 passes in a game, making him the first Rebel in history to have three double-digit reception games. Summers finished with 87 yards on the ground on 23 carries, but had just five yards after halftime.

• UNLV fell to 0-7 all-time in Salt Lake City.• UNLV finished with no turnovers for a second straight game for the first time since 2000.• The loss marked the 16th straight on the road vs. MWC opponents, which tied the school record first set from 1994-98.• True freshman Phillip Payne took an Omar Clayton pass 45 yards in the second quarter.• UNLV fell to 9-18 all-time in conference openers, including 2-10 when they took place on the road.• UNLV safety Daryl Forte hauled in his third career interception in the first quarter. The pick made the Rebels plus-three in turnovers on the young season.• The game marked the second time in history that UNLV played a ranked Utes squad (No. 9/10 in 2004).

TEMPE, Ariz. -- UNLV defensive tackle Malo Taumua’s blocked field goal in overtime sealed the Rebels’ 23-20 upset of No. 15/13 Arizona State, stunning the crowd of 59,582 at Sun Devil Stadium and shocking a FSN television audience. Taumua’s deflection on a 35-yard attempt capped a wild finish for the Rebels, who won in overtime for just the second time in school history and beat a ranked opponent for the fifth time in the process. Trailing by a TD with 3:03 left in the game and no timeouts, Rebel QB Omar Clayton calmly led his team into the red zone, including converting a fourth-and-four from the ASU 18. Clayton picked up a yard on first down and on the next play he scrambled before firing to Phillip Payne, who made a sensational, one-handed grab in the end zone to tie the game at 20 with 18 seconds remaining. UNLV got the ball to start overtime and Kyle Watson drilled a 20-yard field goal for a 23-20 lead. ASU couldn’t get a first down on third-and-three, setting up Thomas Weber for a 35-yard attempt to force a second OT. The 2007 Lou Groza Award winner had missed just one attempt in his career, but Taumua blew through the line and

sent the kick back toward Weber, igniting a wild celebration by the Rebels and hushing the Sun Devil faithful. Payne, the freshman sensation who showed a knack for hauling in TDs, finished the game with a pair of scoring catches and five receptions overall. His first TD came with less than a minute left in the first half, a two-yard connection from Clayton that tied the game at 10 and was set up by freshman linebacker Beau Orth’s interception. Weber connected from 49 yards out as time expired to give ASU a 13-10 lead at the break, his second three-pointer of the half. The two kicks were sandwiched around a 22-yard TD pass from Rudy Carpenter to Chris McGaha in the second quarter. Following a three-and-out on the Rebels’ first possession of the second half, Carpenter again delivered a long scoring strike, this one a 49-yard TD to Kyle Williams that moved the lead to 20-10. But that would be the final points of the evening for the Sun Devils. The Rebels dug in and put together a strong 60-plus minutes of football. Watson hit a 20-yard FG with 6:28 remaining to pull the Rebels to within a touchdown at 20-13, and ASU was then forced to punt, giving UNLV the ball back. On the first play of the drive Frank “The Tank” Summers, who bulled his way for 98 second-half yards on the ground, caught a swing pass and rumbled 29 yards to near midfield. Clayton then completed four of his next six passes to move the Rebels to inside the 10, setting up Payne’s dramatic TD catch. Summers crossed the century mark on the ground for

the first time in 2008, finishing with 103 yards after he was held to just five in the first half. Clayton was an efficient 19-of-31 for 191 and the two TD passes to Payne, while Ryan Wolfe caught a game-high eight balls for 79 yards. UNLV got on the board in the second quarter on Ben Jaekle’s career-long 44-yard field goal and senior WR Casey Flair extended his consecutive reception streak to 38 games with a trio of catches.

Malo Taumua’s blocked field goal attempt in overtime left a mark, which he proudly

showed off after the upset win.

Beau Orth’s INT

• This contest marked the second time in history that UNLV played back-to-back road games vs. ranked teams (2007) and only the third time playing back-to-back ranked teams home or away (2004). The Rebels had lost at then-No. 23/22 Utah the previous week in Salt Lake City 42-21.• The Rebels played their fifth game ever in the state of Arizona but the first vs. Arizona State as UNLV had never faced the Sun Devils in football despite the schools being located just 300 miles apart.• UNLV was the only MWC team to have not played ASU.• After only posting one QB sack in the first two games of the season, UNLV brought down ASU signal-caller Rudy Carpenter on back-to-back plays in the first quarter. The first by Heivaha Mafi and the second by Isaako Aaitui.• UNLV improved to 4-9 all-time against the Pac-10.• ASU defensive coordinator Craig Bray lettered at UNLV as a WR in 1973-74.• DL Malo Taumua earned MWC Special Teams Player of the Week honors after his game-winning blocked kick.

LAS VEGAS -- UNLV (3-1) worked overtime again, with Phillip Payne hauling in a 25-yard fade pass from Omar Clayton for a 34-31 OT win over Iowa State in front of 25,567 fans at Sam Boyd Stadium. The stunning ending came after ISU scored 17 straight points, including a 28-yard touchdown pass with just three seconds left to force overtime, followed by a 37-yard field goal on the Cyclones’ OT possession. UNLV didn’t wait long to go for the win, with Clayton hooking up with Payne in the left corner of the end zone, setting off a wild celebration on the Rebel sideline for the second week in a row. Just a week earlier the Rebels beat then-No. 13 Arizona State on a blocked field goal in overtime. The game-winning scoring strike was the third of the night for Clayton, which matched a career high. The sophomore QB also added a rushing touchdown for the Rebels. That 20-yard scamper got UNLV on the board first in the opening quarter, and he was drilled by Leonard Johnson well after he crossed the goal line. Johnson was flagged for a personal foul, firing up the Rebels in the process. On UNLV’s next possession Clayton hit Frank “The Tank” Summers on a swing pass that the bruising back turned into a 48-yard TD after he showed great speed down the sideline. The lead grew to 21-0 with less than two minutes remaining in the half when Clayton found senior Casey Flair along the back of the end zone for a three-yard touchdown. Iowa State would not quit, however, and scored two touchdowns to cut the lead to 21-14. The first one was a 28-yard pass from Austen Arnaud to R.J. Sumrall and then, following a fumble by Ryan Wolfe that was returned to the 10, Arnaud ran it in the rest of the way for a score. It was the first turnover of the season for the Rebels. UNLV answered to make it a two-touchdown game when Summers rumbled in from 12 yards out with eight seconds remaining in the third. Summers turned in a fine all-around game with 109 yards rushing on 27 carries to go along with 50 yards receiving. Trailing by 14 heading into the fourth, ISU fought back once again, with Arnaud capping a 14-play drive with a one-yard run on fourth-and-goal to make it 28-21. UNLV appeared to be in great position to win the game in regulation when Dack Ishii booted a perfectly placed punt that rolled out of bounds at the two-yard line with just 1:34 left. Despite facing the need to go the length of the field with no timeouts, ISU did just that, using nine plays, the final another 28-yard strike from Arnaud to Sumrall that knotted the score. Flair turned in his best game of the year, making season highs of seven grabs for 92 yards and the touchdown. The win was UNLV’s third of the season, the most for the program since 2003 and improved the Rebels’ all-time record in overtime games to 3-7.

• The Rebels notched their first-ever victory over Iowa State in five games to improve to 3-10 all-time vs. the Big 12 Conference. • After coming into 2008 with a 1-7 all-time record in over-time, the Rebels won two such games in back-to-back weeks. The wining TD marked only the third time UNLV scored even a single touchdown in 10 OT games all-time (2002 and 2004 both vs. Wyoming at Sam Boyd Stadium). Head coach Mike Sanford improved to 2-1 in overtime games. • UNLV went 3-3 in the red zone to improve it to a perfect 13-13 during the season, including 10 touchdowns. The Rebels ranked last in the MWC in 2007 with an average of 70 percent (26-37), including only 41 percent scoring TDs (15-37). • With the overtime wins against ASU and Iowa State, it marked the first time in UNLV history that it beat two teams from BCS auto-bid leagues in the same season.

LAS VEGAS -- UNLV (3-2) jumped out to an early lead but struggled stopping the run as Nevada, Reno rushed its way to a 49-27 victory on a warm evening at Sam Boyd Stadium, keeping the Fremont Cannon blue for a fourth straight season. The Rebels scored 17 points in the first quarter to grab a 10-point lead but Wolf Pack quarterback Colin Kaepernick scored on a four-yard run just minutes into the second quarter and that would be a sign of things to come. The sophomore rolled up 240 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, part of UNR’s 444 yards rushing on the game, which came in front of a crowd of 33,078 and a Mtn. television audience. It took just two minutes for UNLV to get on the board, scoring three points on a 47-yard field goal from Ben Jaekle, and minutes later Omar Clayton hit Phillip Payne on a seven-yard fade for a 10-0 lead. Kaepernick hit a streaking Chris Wellington down the right seam for a 70-yard scoring strike, but the Rebels answered when Casey Flair hauled in a 41-yard pass for another Rebel touchdown and a 17-7 lead. Kaepernick scampered in from four yards out, making it a 17-14 game and the Wolf Pack took its first lead of the game just moments later courtesy of a UNLV turnover. Clayton fumbled on third down, his first turnover of the season, giving the ball back to UNR at the 40-yard line. Three plays later Kaepernick connected with Virgil Green for a 40-yard TD. Courtney Randall scored on a seven-yard run to make it 28-17, but the Rebels would go into the locker room down just one score after Jaekle drilled a 52-yard field goal with 43 ticks on the clock. Kaepernick then delivered a staggering blow on the first offensive play of the second half, taking off and racing down field for a 66-yard TD and a 35-20 lead. UNLV cut the deficit to eight, 35-27, on a seven-yard TD pass from Clayton to Ryan Wolfe, but that would be as close as the Rebels would get the rest of the way. UNR tacked on a pair of rushing touchdowns in the fourth, including a 28-yard run by Kaepernick that closed out the scoring. The loss, the first at home for the Rebels in 2008, gave the Wolf Pack a 19-15 lead in the all-time series between the two rivals. Ben Jaekle’s 52-yard field goal tied for the sixth-longest in UNLV history while LB Jason Beauchamp made a career-high 21 tackles, one short of the school record set by DB Quincy Sanders, who had 22 at Air Force in 1999. Wolfe finished the game with eight catches for 167 yards and a TD, giving him seven career 100-yard receiving games, one short of the school record.

• The attendance was 33,078, which marked the eighth-largest crowd to watch UNLV play at Sam Boyd Stadium. It also was the third-largest crowd to witness a Battle for the Fremont Cannon anywhere in the Silver State. Only the sold-out crowd of 37,179 in 2006 at Sam Boyd and a stadium-record attendance of 33,391 at Mackay Stadium in Reno were bigger. • UNLV QB Omar Clayton saw his school-record streak of not throwing an interception stopped at 173 when his 35th pass attempt of the night was tipped and picked off.• Casey Flair’s first quarter reception extended his streak with at least one catch to 40.• LB Jason Beauchamp earned MWC Defensive Player of the Week honors -- the first Rebel other than Beau Bell (four times) to take the award since 2004.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A quick start and a strong finish were not enough for UNLV (3-3, 0-2 MWC) on the road against Colorado State (3-2, 1-0 MWC) as the Rebels lost for a school-record 17th-straight time in a league game away from home, 41-28, at Hughes Stadium. A crowd of 19,703 and a Mtn. television audience watched the Rebels jump out to a 14-3 lead after one quarter, fall behind 27-14 entering the fourth, and move ahead 28-27 before allowing 14 points in the final nine seconds of the game. Despite the early kick time of 11:00 a.m. (PT), UNLV did not need a wakeup call, scoring a pair of touchdowns after CSU got on the board first on a 24-yard FG by Jason Smith. UNLV wide receiver Ryan Wolfe came in motion and took an option pitch 11 yards for the score, the first rushing score of his career, giving his team a 7-3 lead. Moments later, freshman Beau Orth forced a fumble on the kickoff that was recovered by Chris Brogdon, giving the Rebels excellent field position at the nine-yard line. Three plays later, Rebel QB Omar Clayton found Casey Flair along the back of the end zone and delivered a strike for a three-yard TD and a 14-3 Rebel lead. The middle quarters, however, would belong to the Rams, who used big plays from wideout Rashuan Greer and a ground attack from Gartrell Johnson to score 24 unanswered points. Johnson scored on a pair of three-yard runs in the second quarter for a 17-14 CSU lead at the half. Smith tacked on his second FG of the game midway through the third quarter and then Greer hauled in a 46-yard TD pass from Billy Farris for a 27-14 lead heading into the fourth. Greer finished the game with eight receptions for 211 yards. UNLV didn’t fold and Frank Summers, who turned in his third 100-yard effort on the ground with 109, barreled his way in from one yard out on fourth-and-goal, cutting the deficit to 27-21. After a CSU punt, Clayton directed his team on a seven-play drive that started at UNLV’s own six and was capped with a 21-yard TD pass to Jerriman Robinson that put the Rebels in front, 28-27, with 6:05 left to play. The Rams then put the game in the hands of Johnson, moving the ball down the field and using up the clock in the process. Johnson capped the 12-play drive with a 10-yard TD run up the middle with nine seconds left, his third score of the day and the last of his 191 yards on the ground. Johnson added the two-point conversion for a 35-28 CSU lead, and after the Rebels fumbled the ball on the kickoff trying to lateral their way down the field, the Rams returned it seven yards for the final 41-28 margin.

• UNLV lost to Colorado State for the sixth consecutive time and for the 12th time in the last 13 meetings. The Rebels also broke the school record for consecutive conference road losses at 17. The last time UNLV won an away game against a league opponent was Oct. 8, 2004, when the Rebels downed BYU 24-20. • UNLV continued its mastery in the red zone, scoring touchdowns in all three trips. The Rebels, who ranked last in the MWC red-zone scoring in 2007, improved to 18-18 with 15 touchdowns and three field goals. • Sophomore QB Omar Clayton threw two touchdown passes, which gave him 14 after just six games -- the most touchdown passes for a Rebel since Jason Thomas’ 14 in 2000. • Frank Summers’ third-quarter touchdown marked his fourth of the season and 15th (10 rushing, five receiving) in 17 career games for the Rebels.

LAS VEGAS -- Despite playing nearly a flawless game on offense, UNLV (3-4, 0-3) came up a few plays short at the end, losing 29-28 to Air Force (5-2, 3-1) on the Rebels’ Homecoming at Sam Boyd Stadium. A Mtn. television audience and 21,055 fans watched an entertaining game in which the home team fought back from an early deficit to take a late lead, only to watch the Falcons get a field goal and a pass breakup on fourth down in the last three minutes to escape with a win. AFA took its one-point lead on a 19-yard field goal with 2:36 remaining, which capped a 17-play drive that ran 7:13 off the clock. Rebel quarterback Omar Clayton drove his team down field and had a second-and-three at Air Force’s 40-yard line, just five yards from moving into field-goal range. Following an incompletion, Clayton scrambled away from the Falcon pass rush but instead of throwing the ball away, he tried making a play with his feet and stepped out of bounds for a seven-yard loss, setting up fourth-and-10. Clayton then went over the middle looking for Jerriman Robinson, who had the ball in his hands for a split second before Justin Moore broke up the pass, ending the Rebels’ chances. Air Force jumped out to an early 14-0 lead on a 52-yard TD run by Todd Newell in the first quarter and then a 28-yard pass from Tim Jefferson to Josh Cousins early in the second. UNLV got on the board when C.J. Cox scored the first rushing TD of his career, a five-yard run that capped a 16-play drive and cut the AFA lead to 14-7. Following a 26-yard field goal by Ryan Harrison that gave the Falcons a 17-7 advantage, Clayton hooked up with Phillip Payne for a 28-yard scoring strike with 14 seconds remaining in the half. Payne would finish the game with career-highs of six receptions for 124 yards, and the TD catch was his seventh of the season. Another three-pointer by Harrison gave the Falcons a six-point lead before the Rebels grabbed their first lead of the night on a nine-yard TD toss from Clayton to Casey Flair that moved UNLV in front, 21-20. The lead ballooned to eight when Frank “The Tank” Summers took a handoff, found a crease in the middle of the line, and took off for a 45-yard touchdown run and a 28-20 UNLV lead 10 seconds into the fourth. Air Force answered quickly with Jefferson connecting with Kyle Halderman for a 44-yard TD pass, but UNLV snuffed out an option pitch to Halderman on the two-point attempt, leaving the Rebels with a 28-26 lead. The Rebels moved the ball to midfield on its next drive but were forced to punt and Dack Ishii hit a beauty that pinned the Falcons at the eight. From there AFA ran its patented triple-option offense to near perfection, using 13 runs and just three pass attempts to march down to the one, where Harrison booted his third field goal of the game. Jefferson was six-of-seven for 162 yards and two TDs to go with 99 yards rushing while Clayton was an efficient 19-of-30 for 251 yards and the two scores, giving him 16 on the year, the most in a single season since Jon Denton tossed 18 in 1997.

• UNLV’s 29-28 defeat at the hands of Air Force marked the fifth time in six years that the Falcons downed the Rebels and improved the Academy’s record in the series to 10-4 all-time.• UNLV fell to 21-20 in Homecoming games, including losing its last seven. • The game marked only the fifth one-point loss in program history and first since falling 20-19 at CSU in 2000.• Casey Flair’s four catches moved him past Earvin Johnson (2001-04) into second place on UNLV’s career list with 184.• Flair’s acrobatic catch for a first down in the second quarter meant that the senior set the UNLV record for consecutive games with at least one reception with 42 (every game of his career), besting the 41 games posted by Earvin Johnson from 2001-04. The streak was the second-longest active in the nation, behind only Rice’s Jarett Dillard.

PROVO, Utah -- UNLV (3-5, 0-4 MWC) stood toe-to-toe with No. 18/17 BYU (7-1, 3-1 MWC), trading scores but ultimately falling just short, 42-35, on the road at a sold-out Lavell Edwards Stadium on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Needing a touchdown to force overtime and having just 1:49 left on the clock, the Rebels drove down to the 14-yard line but a sack and then an interception as time expired ended UNLV’s upset hopes. It was a tough ending on a day that saw Casey Flair set the UNLV all-time reception mark, fellow wideout Ryan Wolfe haul in a game-high 10 passes and Omar Clayton throw for 321 yards and a touchdown. That score was a 15-yard strike to Wolfe that put UNLV up 35-34 with 6:49 left in the game, but the Rebels could not make the lead hold. BYU quarterback Max Hall, who tossed four TD passes on the day, led his team on an 11-play drive in which he was 7-7 through the air. The march was capped by a six-yard touchdown pass to Dennis Pitta and the successful two-point conversion closed the scoring. Hall opened the scoring with an eight-yard TD pass to Andrew George, which UNLV answered when Frank “The Tank” Summers rumbled in from six yards out to tie the game. Another touchdown pass by Hall, this one a 20-yard completion to O’Neil Chambers, again was matched when Mike Clausen scored on a QB keeper, his first TD as a Rebel. Clausen was in the game for a shaken Clayton, who took several hard hits but only missed three series in the game. BYU running back Harvey Unga and Summers traded rushing scores to close out the first half knotted at 21, and the second half proved to be as exciting as the first. Fui Vakapuna gave the Cougars the lead again on a one-yard run before Clausen plunged in from two yards out for the game’s third tie at 28. BYU kicker Mitch Payne hit two field goals for a 34-28 advantage before UNLV took its only lead of the game on Wolfe’s touchdown reception. Flair had eight receptions in the game, giving him 192 for his career, breaking the record of 187 set by Damon Williams from 1995-98. UNLV linebacker Jason Beauchamp recorded his fourth consecutive double-digit tackle game, bringing down 12 BYU ball carriers.

• UNLV was 25-for-25 in the red zone before the game’s final play, which was an interception in the end zone that came after the Rebels had moved the ball to the 14-yard line.• Frank Summers’ two first-half rushing touchdowns marked the senior’s sixth and seventh of the season, which bested his total from all of last year (six). • Ryan Wolfe finished with 136 yards on 10 catches, which marked his third 100-yard receiving game of the season and eighth of his career. That tied him with three other players for the most in school history and ranked fourth in Mountain West Conference history. Wolfe, who reached at least 10 catches in a game for the second time in 2008 and the fourth time in his career, is the only man in school history to have more than two double-digit receptions games.• The Rebels scored their most points in a game since posting 42 in the 2006 season finale.• BYU was the third ranked team UNLV faced in ‘08 -- all on the road.

LAS VEGAS -- Playing a ranked opponent for the second straight week, UNLV (3-6, 0-5) could not get much going against No. 12/12 TCU (9-1, 6-0) in a 44-14 defeat on a warm Saturday night at Sam Boyd Stadium. Any hopes the Rebels had of an upset were dashed in the third quarter when starting quarterback Omar Clayton suffered a knee injury that knocked him out of the game. Backup quarterback Mike Clausen came in and was sacked three times, and save for a touchdown with two minutes left in the game, the redshirt freshman could not do much against the swarming Horned Frog defense. UNLV

opened the game by going three-and-out and TCU went on a 17-play drive that covered 77 yards and took almost eight minutes off the clock, with Andy Dalton hitting Justin Watts for a one-yard TD. Clayton then had a pass tipped at the line of scrimmage that was picked off by Robert Henson, and three plays later Luke Shivers ran in from three yards out for a 14-0 lead. UNLV again was forced to punt but Chris Brogdon recovered the muffed ball at the 12-yard line and the Rebels took advantage of the great field position. On second-and-13 Clayton was scrambling and found Rodelin Anthony for a 15-yard TD strike, cutting the lead in half. It was the first TD catch of the year for Anthony and it came with 44 seconds left in the opening quarter. When the teams

traded directions to start the second quarter a strong wind storm moved in and was blowing directly into the Rebels’ faces. With the Horned Frog defense forcing UNLV to punt directly into the howling wind, TCU was given great field position and turned that into 10 points and a 24-7 halftime lead. TCU scored the first TD of the second half, an Aaron Brown 23-yard TD run that pushed the score to 30-7. The fate of the Rebels’ was then sealed on the next play when Clayton kept an option play and gained five yards before being hit hard and hurting his right knee. After the Horned Frogs punched in two more TDs, the Rebels capped the scoring when Channing Trotter took off on a 58-yard gallop before being caught at the one-yard line. Rebel senior RB David Peeples finished off the drive with a burst up the middle for his first TD of the season and first since Game 12 of the 2006 campaign. On that final drive senior wide out Casey Flair made a 15-yard catch to extend his UNLV record for consecutive games with a reception streak to 44. UNLV junior linebacker Jason Beauchamp turned in 11 tackles, the fifth straight game he reached double-digits.

• UNLV faced a ranked team for the fourth time this season, which is the most in program history. • The Horned Frogs improved to 6-1 all-time vs the Rebels. TCU continues to be the only team that UNLV has not beaten in MWC play. • Junior WR Ryan Wolfe’s four catches moved him past Earvin Johnson (2001-04) into third place on the UNLV career receptions list with 184. • UNLV committed a season-high three turnovers (two lost fumbles and one interception) vs. TCU. The Rebels had come in tied for the national lead with only six giveaways.• Freshman sensation WR Phillip Payne, who had seven scores and was just one away from the MWC record for TD receptions by a freshman, did not play vs. TCU because of injury.

LAS VEGAS -- In his first collegiate start, freshman quarterback Mike Clausen efficiently managed the game and UNLV (4-6, 1-5) made defensive stops when called upon in beating New Mexico (4-7, 2-5) 27-20 at Sam Boyd Stadium. Subbing for Omar Clayton, who was out with a torn MCL, Clausen threw for 203 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but more importantly did not turn over the ball in helping the Rebels snap a five-game losing streak and win a Mountain West Conference game for the first time in 2008. He became just the eighth freshman in school history, but third in two years, to start at quarterback. Following a pair of rushing touchdowns sandwiched around a 52-yard FG by Rebel PK Ben Jaekle, the Lobos had a 14-3 lead and were closing in on another TD when UNLV DB Quinton Pointer stepped in front of a halfback pass. The sophomore corner took the pick down the field 77 yards before stumbling at the 19-yard line, and the Rebels turned the turnover into three points, but more importantly, gained momentum. UNLV closed the half with Clausen directing a two-minute drill to near perfection, ending it with a 10-yard fade to Rodelin Anthony with three seconds left, bringing the Rebels to within one at 14-13. In the second half the Rebel defense would stiffen, allowing just a pair of field goals to the Lobos, one in the third and one in the fourth, keeping the UNLV offense close. Clausen would then toss his second TD of the game, this one a four-yard swing pass to Frank “The Tank” Summers on fourth-and-three from the four that gave UNLV a 20-17 lead. The margin ballooned to 10 early in the final quarter when Deante’ Purvis blocked a New Mexico punt. Following the Rebels batting the ball around, Anthony came in, scooped it up, and ran 11 yards for the score. It marked the first time the Rebels scored a touchdown on a blocked punt since Chris Brogdon did it against Wyoming in 2006. UNM would get the ball four more times in the quarter, but could only put three points on the board to close to within 27-20 with 6:34 remaining. On the Lobos’ final drive Brad Gruner was picked off by Ryan Tillman with less than 10 seconds remaining, sealing the win for the Rebels and keeping their bowl hopes alive. UNLV wideout Ryan Wolfe hauled in seven catches for 100 yards, giving him nine career 100-yard receiving games. Casey Flair had two catches, extending his consecutive games with a catch streak to 45. Jason Beauchamp continued his strong play at linebacker for the Rebels, bringing down 16 Lobos for his sixth consecutive double-digit effort.

• UNLV’s 27-20 victory doubled the Rebels’ win total from 2007 at 4-6 and meant the program reached at least four wins for the first time since going 6-6 in 2003. UNLV also got a third home victory for the first time since finishing 3-3 at Sam Boyd Stadium in 2002. • Freshman Deante’ Purvis’ 55-yard kickoff return in the second quarter was the longest by a Rebel since Dominique Dorsey took one back 59 yards in 2004. • UNLV’s Quinton Pointer picked up his third career interception in the second quarter, which marked the first pick by UNLV in 28 quarters of play (first since the second quarter at Arizona State on Sept. 13). The return of 77 yards was the longest for the Rebels since a 79-yarder by Joe Miklos vs. UNR in 2004.• The Rebels snapped a four-game losing streak in the series, which dates back to 1978.• Mike Clausen became the fourth Rebel freshman QB to win his first start and threw for the second most yards in such a debut (203), while rushing for 23 more.

Quinton Pointer’s interception, which he returned 77 yards, kept the Lobos from taking a big lead and helped UNLV rally

for the key victory.

LAS VEGAS -- UNLV (5-6, 2-5) used two fourth-quarter touchdowns to come back and earn a 22-14 victory over Wyoming (4-7, 1-6) on a special Thursday night affair at Sam Boyd Stadium, keeping the Rebels’ bowl hopes alive. Before the game, 16 Rebel seniors were honored, and it was a pair of them that helped propel UNLV to the win in front of a national CBS College Sports television audience and a season-ending crowd of 18,154. Just seconds into the final quarter, senior running back Frank “The Tank” Summers shed a tackle and rumbled in from a yard out, giving the Rebels a 15-14 lead after the two-point attempt failed. On the Cowboys’ next possession, fellow-senior Rusty Worthen tracked down a tipped pass and hauled it in for his first career interception, returning it 15 yards to the Wyoming 24. Five plays later Mike Clausen hit Rodelin Anthony down the left seam for a 19-yard TD pass and a 22-14 lead with 12:15 left in the game. From there the UNLV defense kept Wyoming out of the end zone to preserve the win, including Quinton Pointer picking off a pass in the end zone after the Cowboys had moved the ball deep into UNLV territory. It was the Kyle Watson show early on, as the junior booted field goals of 38, 36 and 38 yards to account for all of the Rebels’ points in the first half, as they carried a 9-7 lead into the locker room. Wyoming’s lone score of the half was an eight-yard touchdown pass from Chris Stutzriem to Greg Bolling to open up the second quarter. The Cowboys moved back out in front early in the third, when Stutzriem tossed his second TD, a 28-yard connection to Chris Johnson that made the score 14-9. Those would be the final points UNLV’s defense would give up on the evening, however, as the unit allowed a season-low 294 yards of total offense, including just 151 on the ground. Nate Carter and Ronnie Paulo each had 10 tackles to lead the defense, which also picked off two passes for the second straight game. It also held the league’s leading rusher, Devin Moore, to just 91 yards on 18 carries with no touchdowns. Clausen, who was making his second career start, and the offense then did their part in the fourth to earn the win -- more than doubling the victory total from the previous two seasons combined. Summers had his best game in a month, running for 75 yards and the score on 21 carries. Clausen threw for 138 yards and the score while also running for 52 yards on 13 carries, and Ryan Wolfe hauled in a game-high seven catches for 53 yards to lead the Rebel receivers. A big part of the game was the turnover battle, with Wyoming turning it over three times compared to zero for UNLV, the fifth time in 2008 that the Rebels did not give away the ball.

• UNLV’s victory meant the Rebels finished 4-3 at home to post their first winning record at Sam Boyd Stadium since going 6-0 in 2000.• Kyle Watson’s 38-yard field goal to open the scoring in the first quarter was a career long for the junior. However, the former Texas Southern transfer then missed a 45-yard attempt later in the quarter for his first miss as a Rebel. He then booted a 36-yarder and a 38-yarder in the second quarter to make him the first Rebel to kick three field goals in a game since Sergio Aguayo made all three of his attempts in the win at Utah State to open the 2007 season.• Watson would earn MWC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts, the fifth and final such honor for UNLV in 2008, which was the most for the program since 2003.• UNLV’s senior class included the final three fifth-year players who began their career under former head coach John Robinson: WR Casey Flair, OL Mario Jeberaeel and RB David Peeples.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- UNLV football saw its bowl hopes end in a fourth-quarter blitz by San Diego State, which scored 21 points to break open a tight game. The Rebels could not rally, losing 42-21 on a warm Saturday evening at Qualcomm Stadium. The loss ended the Rebels’ season at 5-7, including 2-6 in Mountain West Conference games, and kept the team from becoming bowl eligible for the first time since the 2003 season. SDSU (2-10, 1-7), snapped a seven-game losing skid with the victory, which came in front of 17,846 fans and a CBS College Sports television audience. The evening got off to a good start for the Rebels, who scored quickly in the first quarter when wide receiver Ryan Wolfe caught a pass up the middle from Mike Clausen for a 33-yard TD that came on fourth down. Following the score SDSU moved the ball inside the 10 but the Rebels appeared to come up with a fumble after Aztec quarterback Ryan Lindley pitched the ball back to running back Atiyyah Henderson, who dropped it. But the officials ruled it was a forward pass and incomplete, and due to a malfunction with the replay equipment, the play could not be reviewed. Two plays later the Aztecs tied the score on a six-yard TD pass from Lindley to DeMarco Sampson and then Tyler Campbell scored on a one-yard run to give the Aztecs a 14-7 lead at the half. SDSU added to its lead in the third when Darren Mougey rumbled in from three yards out late in the third quarter, giving the Aztecs a 21-7 advantage. UNLV cut the lead in half when Channing Trotter capped an eight-play drive with a one-yard TD run with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. The two teams traded touchdowns to open the final stanza with Henderson catching a 12-yard TD followed by Wolfe catching a 24-yarder, his second of the game. On SDSU’s ensuing drive it faced a fourth-and-one from the 49-yard line and the Rebels looked to have stopped Campbell on the rush, but a second effort on his part got him the yard for the first down and he finished off the drive with a seven-yard TD run and a 35-21 lead. SDSU then ended any hopes of a Rebel comeback when Corey Boudreaux stepped in front of a Clausen pass and returned it 82 yards for a score and the final margin. Wolfe finished the game with 11 catches for 144 yards and two scores, while Clausen threw for 316 yards to lead the Rebel offense. UNLV’s ground game could not get going, however, as Frank “The Tank” Summers carried the ball just twice before injuring his knee and missing the rest of the game.

• Ryan Wolfe finished the season with 88 receptions, which tied the school record, and his 1,040 receiving yards marked the first time since 1994 that a Rebel receiver went over 1,000 yards (Randy Gatewood -- 1,203).• Wolfe’s 144 yards was the fifth time in 2008 that he eclipsed the century mark and the 10th time overall in his career, a UNLV record. His 11 catches gave him at least 10 catches in a game for the third time as a junior and the fifth time in his career. He is the only man in school history to have more than two double-digit receptions games.• UNLV linebacker Jason Beauchamp made four tackles, giving him a season total of 127, which was the sixth-most in a single season in school history and enough to earn him the MWC tackles title.• Mike Clausen threw the first two interceptions of his Rebel career on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter. Regardless, he set the UNLV freshman record for most pass attempts without a pick to start a career with 119.

MIKESANFORD(2005-PReSeNT)

Mike Sanford came to the Rebels from Mountain West Conference rival Utah after he had coordinated the Utes’ record-setting offense for two years under Urban Meyer.

A former quarterback at USC, Sanford replaced his former college coach, John Robinson, at UNLV on Dec. 6, 2004. Now in his fifth season, he is already tied for the third longest coaching stint in Rebel football history. Seasons W L T PCT 4 11 36 0 .234

REBEL BOWL HISTORY

Tony Gladneycaught thefirst of California Bowl MVPRandall Cunningham’s two touchdown passes.

1984 CALIFORNIA BOWLS till the winningest team in UNLV I-A history at 11- 2 overall, the 1984 squad

earned the school its first bowl bid and went on to beat Toledo 30-13 in the California Bowl. The first Big West team to ever win seven league games, Coach Har-

vey Hyde’s Rebels lost only a close game at Hawaii and to 10th-ranked

SMU in the regular-season finale, the night Randall Cunningham’s No. 12 jersey was retired at halftime. Not surprisingly, UNLV swept the league’s postseason honors with Offensive Player of the Year Cunningham, Defensive Co-Player of the Year Aaron Moog and Coach of the Year Hyde. UNLV took on an 8-2-1 Mid-American Conference Champion Toledo squad in the fourth California Bowl in front of a national ESPN audi-ence. The Rebels won impressively, 30-13, though the game was later ruled technically forfeited by UNLV because of the use of ineligible players during the season, none of whom played in the bowl game. The Rebels broke the game open with 17 third-quarter points led by Cunningham’s passing and the running of a freshman from Fresno named elbert “Ickey” Woods. Cunningham’s 270 yards through the air helped him earn MVP honors. Just a few months later the lanky QB became a second-round choice of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1985 NFL Draft. Woods went on to lead the nation in rushing in 1987 with 1,658 yards before “shuffling” off to Cincinnati as a second-round pick in 1988.

Henry Bailey’s four touchdowns helped him run away with MVP honors.

Appearing in its first bowl game in a decade, UNLV blasted Mid-American

Conference opponent Central Michigan in the second meet-ing of the year between the two clubs. Playing it up for a national television audience on ESPN, the Rebels (7-5), who racked up 589 yards in offense (the most by any ’94 bowl team) jumped out to a quick

14-0 lead over the Chippewas (9-3). Not even two minutes had passed in the first quarter when Henry Bailey, the Rebels’ career receiving leader, exploded for a 46-yard touchdown reception from Jared Brown. The strike was the first of four UNLV touchdowns longer than 30 yards on the night. After the Chips pulled to 14-10, the Rebel offensive machine continued to roll and UNLV pulled away for good on a 15-yard fumble return for a TD by defensive end Keith Washington. UNLV eventually cruised to a 52-10 lead before clearing the bench. Las

Vegas Bowl III MVP Bailey, soon to be a Pittsburgh Steelers draftee, rushed for 79 yards on seven carries with three TDs, and accumulated 101 yards receiving with one score. Sophomore RB DeJohn Branch had a sparkling performance, carrying the ball 13 times for 125 yards, and Brown finished the game 11-for-21 for 195 yards with two TDs and 32 yards rushing. UNLV coach Jeff Horton was named the Big West Conference Co-Coach of the Year for turning a 3-8 team in ’93 into league and bowl champions in his first season.

P laying before a national ESPN2 audience and a Las Vegas Bowl-record

29,113 fans, UNLV (8-5) won its fourth straight for the first time since 1984 and moved to 3-0 all-time in bowl games with a surprisingly one-sided 31-14 victory over Arkansas

(6-6), the Rebels’ first over a team from the powerful Southeastern Confer-

ence. UNLV quarterback Jason Thomas earned MVP honors by completing 12 of

17 pass attempts for 217 yards and three scores without an interception as well as rushing for

32 yards on 10 carries. Thomas’ favorite target was Nate Turner, who ended his career with 126 yards on eight catches – all in the first half. Jeremi Rudolph gained 92 yards on 14 carries and Kevin Brown had 78 on 13 attempts. Arkansas, which was fresh from two consecutive victories over ranked SEC opponents to become bowl eiligible, opened the scoring with the only points of the first quarter. UNLV answered with a Thomas-to-Turner

19-yard pass, which was the first TD given up by the Ra-zorbacks in 11 quarters. Two minutes later the Hogs used Robby Hampton’s second scoring throw of the game to take a 14-7 lead. UNLV, however, struck again to square things before halftime with a five-yard Turner TD. Things stayed tied until with just over two minutes left in the third, Thomas found Troy Mason with a stunning 54-yard TD strike that was the second longest in bowl history. After a Dillon Pieffer field goal put UNLV up 24-14,

the Razorbacks elected to go for it on fourth and 10 from the Rebel 37 with more than 12 minutes remaining. The UNLV defense forced an incompletion and the inspired Rebels eventually closed their shocking 24-point scoring run with an 18-yard Brown run. The Rebels out-gained the bigger Hogs, who had defeated seven straight non-conference opponents and were 6-0 vs. MWC teams, 476 to 298. UNLV also held its opponent to under 200 yards rushing (115) for the 12th time in 2000. The Rebels, who moved to 2-0 in Las Vegas Bowls, earned their most victories in a season since 1984 and fin-ished the season a perfect 6-0 at Sam Boyd Stadium. Head Coach John Robinson moved to 8-1 in bowl games during his career, which made him the winningest bowl coach in NCAA D-I history with a percentage of .889. “This is particularly gratifying because our guys were at their best,” Rob-inson said during the post-game celebration.

Still the career passing and punting leader at UNLV, Randall Cunningham left his school as its most accomplished player and went on to become one of the top quarterbacks in NFL history. Before Michael Vick and Donovan McNabb there was Randall. A national figure who broke the racial barrier at his position, Cunningham augmented his cannon arm and booming punting leg by re-defining the running ability of a pro quarterback and remains the league’s all-time rushing QB with 4,928 yards. Rising to stardom with the team that drafted him 37th overall in 1985 - Philadelphia - Cunningham went on to play 11 seasons

with the Eagles, three with the Vikings, one with the Cowboys and his final two with the Ravens. The four-time Pro Bowl

invitee won Most Outstanding Player honors in the 1989 game after leading the NFC to a 34-3 blowout. Joining Johnny Unitas as the only three-time winners of the Bert Bell Award, which goes to the league’s top player, Cunningham was also named the NFL Player of the Year in 1998 after leading Minnesota to the league’s best record and engineering what was the highest scoring offense in history. The Las Vegas resident retired, symbolically, as an Eagle, in 2002 but still ranks in the top 25 in league annals in passing yards, TDs and completions.

October 28The first-ever Rebels vs. Rebels football game sees UNLV push host Ole Miss into overtime before the SEC power pulls out a 43-40 heart-stopper.

The Badgers lead 27-7 with 7:41 remaining in the fourth quarter when the power (and the lights and national TV broadcast) goes out. The head coaches -- meeting on the darkened field -- agree to call the game over and make the score final as the famous UW band entertains the rowdy crowd.

UNLV FOOTBALL HISTORY1992 1995

Did it really happen? Did 1999’s most memorable play in college football really take place on a

muggy Sept. 11 night in Waco, Texas? Did UNLV really pull off something never before done to start 2-0 on the road for the first time in 25 years? Yes. Yes. And, surprisingly – no make that inexplicably, yes. UNLV made history by becoming the first team to win a college football game on the last play while trailing and without the ball. And it all happened because of one team’s intention to run up the score and another team’s refusal to allow it. Host Baylor was leading the Rebels 24-21 with eight seconds left when it ran a

Kevin Thomas (No. 28) picked up the fumble and sprinted 100 yards the opposite way.

November 20The John Robinson Era closes after the legendary coach walks off the sidelines at the end of 27 pro and college seasons. Despite the 21-3 loss to San Diego State, he leaves as the school’s second-winningest coach with 26 wins in six years. LB Adam Seward’s 13 tackles give him a school- and MWC-record 435 in his career. Earvin Johnson catches a pass in his Rebel-record 41st straight game as he moves past Damon Williams as the program’s all-time leader in receiving yards (2,604). Dominique Dorsey wins the MWC rushing title with 1,261 yards.

December 6Mike Sanford is hired away from MWC champion Utah to become the ninth head coach in UNLV history.

December 7Senior DB Jamaal Brimmer becomes UNLV’s fourth two-time All-American in history and first since 1984 when he is honored by The Sporting News (2nd Team) and AP (3rd Team). He goes on to become the third Rebel ever to play in the Senior Bowl as UNLV places at least one player in five postseason all-star games.

2005September 5Playing on a Monday for the first time ever, UNLV opens on national television for a school-record fifth straight year by traveling to New Mexico for an ESPN2 Labor Day special. Mike Sanford becomes the first head coach in college history to successfully challenge an officials’ call using the new replay system and the move helps the Rebels nearly rally to victory in a 24-22 heartbreaker.

WONDER OF WACO: 10th Anniversary of “The Return”rushing play to attempt to score again instead of simply downing the ball to end the game. After Bears running back Darrell Bush was stood up at the one-yard line by the Rebel defense, LB Tyler Brickell man-aged to force a fumble. DB Kevin Thomas picked up the ball in the end zone and, with no time on the clock, raced more than the length of the field to score his team’s winning points as UNLV prevailed 27-24. The shocking video showed up on everyone’s highlight show while UNLV announcer Tony Cordasco’s now-famous radio call repeatedly

played across the nation. It was only the third time in NCAA I-A history that a fumble had been returned 100 yards (interestingly, the second time came against UNLV at Rice

just four games earlier in ‘98). “I started to walk over toward

the middle of the field to (Baylor’s) bench,” UNLV Head Coach John

Robinson said. “I knew (BU coach Kevin Steele) was in shock. They didn’t move. Their whole bench was just standing there like a paint-ing.’’ In 2007, the play ranked 85th in ESPN.com’s Top 100

Defining Plays in College Football History.

Tyler Brickell (No. 48) stripped Baylor RBDarrell Bush just outside the end zone.

Thomas took the ball 100 yards and UNLV moved to 2-0.

UNLV FOOTBALL HISTORY1999 2002 2006 20082000 2003

September 10Sanford earns his first win as a head coach when kicker Sergio Aguayo boots a 41-yarder against Idaho for the first game-winning field goal for UNLV since 1992.

September 14Senior DE and Las Vegas native Leon Moore becomes the third Rebel gridder in four years to be named a community service All-American when he earns one of only 11 spots on the prestigious AFCA Good Works Team.

October 8Sergio Aguayo kicks two 52-yard field goals in the fourth quarter, including one with 13 seconds remaining, to give UNLV a 13-10 win over SDSU.

December 5WR Ryan Wolfe is named MWC Freshman of the Year after a record-setting rookie campaign. He is the first freshman to lead the league in receiving yards (911) and shatters multiple school and conference marks. Wolfe later becomes the first Rebel to be named to the Football Writers Freshman All-America Team. 2007September 22UNLV shuts out a conference opponent for only the second time in history while also breaking an 11-year losing skid in league openers. Powered by Frank “The Tank” Summers’ 190 rushing yards, the 27-0 victory was the first over Utah since 1979.

October 13UNLV hosts its school-record third sellout of the season and the biggest-ever crowd to see it play a conference opponent at home when 38,026 watch BYU win 24-14. UNLV would break multiple attendance records on the year, including playing in front of an average crowd of 29,281.

December 4LB Beau Bell is named MWC Defensive Player of the Year after leading the league with 126 tackles and five forced fumbles to go along with four interceptions. He would become the fourth Rebel ever invited to play in the Senior Bowl and be the first pick of the Cleveland Browns (fourth round) in the NFL Draft.

2008January 8OL Matt Murphy becomes UNLV’s second player in as many years named to the Football Writers Freshman All-America Team.

September 13In the first-ever meeting between the programs from neighboring states, UNLV travels to Tempe and stuns No. 13 Arizona State 23-20 when Malo Taumua blocks a Sun Devils’ field-goal attempt in overtime. It marks the second-highest ranked win in program history and its first OT victory since 2004.

September 20UNLV becomes the eighth school in history to earn back-to-back overtime victories with a 34-31 home thriller over Iowa State. Omar Clayton hits freshman sensation Phillip Payne in the end zone during UNLV’s first offensive play in the extra period to give the Rebs their first win in five career meetings with the Cyclones.

September 27Omar Clayton’s school-record shattering streak of attempts without an interception comes to end

vs. UNR after 173 such throws. The sophomore would go on to set the school mark for lowest pick percentage with just four in 258 attempts.

October 10Casey Flair passes Damon Williams for first place on the UNLV career receptions list with a catch at BYU. Flair, who would become the first four-year player in school history to record at least one catch in every

game of his career (47), would see his reception record stand for only weeks before teammate

Ryan Wolfe takes over the top spot.

November 22Despite a loss at SDSU that keeps the Rebels from going bowling, UNLV ties with Ohio State for the national lead in

red-zone scoring at 95 percent, including earning points in its first 25 trips of the

season inside the 20-yard line.

REBEL AWARD WINNERS2007 MWC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARBeau Bell was a dominant force on his side of the ball in 2007, leading the league with 126 total tackles and five forced fumbles to go with 9.5 TFL and 3 sacks. He also led the team with four interceptions, including one at Wyoming that he returned for his first career TD. Bell became the first player in MWC history to be named defensive player of the week

three times in one season and left UNLV ranked second in all-time tackles with 320. The fourth Rebel ever to be invited to play in the Senior Bowl, Bell had eight double-digit tackle games as a senior and went on to become the top draft pick of the Cleveland Browns.

2006 MWC FRESHMAN OF THE YEARRyan Wolfe’s first game as a collegian saw him catch six balls for 160 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown sprint. The rookie later proved it was no fluke when he hauled in nine receptions for a MWC-freshman-record-tying 176 yards vs. New Mexico. He also posted 108 yards vs. Air Force to close the campaign. Named First Team Freshman

All-America by the Football Writers Assoc. of America, Wolfe was UNLV’s first first team all-conference receiver since 1997 after becoming the first freshman to ever lead the conference in receiving yards (911), which ranked 26th nationally. He also became the program’s fourth player to win a league’s official freshman award.

2002 & 2003 MWC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARHometown hero Jamaal Brimmer exploded onto the scene as a sophomore in 2002, including leading the MWC with 17 tackles for loss and a squad-leading 5.5 QB sacks. Hence, he was the pick of both the coaches and media for league MVP honors in. One year later, his stats only improved as he led the league with six interceptions and four forced fumbles, which led to two key defensive scores. His eye-

popping day in leading his team to an upset of Wisconsin got him national defensive player of the week honors and helped him become a semifinalist for the Thorpe Award and repeat as the consensus defensive MVP of his conference, despite being snubbed by MWC coaches.

2001 MWC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR‘Nique the Streak burst on to the scene with a scintillating 87-yard kickoff return vs. Northwestern in his first career attempt. Nine returns later he had broken the school record for season average at 36.4. Despite injuries, he displayed similar bursts at tailback and led the team with a 6.6-yard average, including TD runs of 56 and 40 yards. Against UNR, he set a league rookie record by gaining

180 yards on just 18 carries.

1984 PCAA CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARThe complete package along the line with superb speed, agility and aggressiveness, Moog led one of UNLV’s best-ever defenses by totaling 63 tackles, including six for loss, six sacks and three pass breakups. The Rebels flirted with the national rankings by winning their first league title and bowl championship en route to an 11-2 overall mark.

2000 MWCCO-COACH OF THE YEARJust a year after taking over a pro-gram that posted its first-ever winless season, Robinson led the Rebels to their most wins since 1984 (8-5) and victory over Arkansas in the Las Vegas Bowl. Despite the amazing turnaround, Robinson shared his award with MWC champion Colorado State leader Sonny Lubick.

1994 BIG WESTCO-COACH OF THE YEAR Under a first-year head coach, the Rebels rebounded from a 3-8 record to shock the league and earned a three-way tie for the Big West champi-onship with a 5-1 record. Winning the tiebreaker, UNLV earned the Las Vegas Bowl bid and crushed Central Michigan 52-24. Horton shared his award with Pacific head man Chuck Shelton.

1984 PCAACOACH OF THE YEARThe most successful Rebel squad since moving to division one, Hyde’s 1984 Rebels were 11-2 overall and 7-0 in the Pacific Coast Athletic Association. The season, which culminated with a 30-13 victory over Toledo in the California Bowl, also produced the school’s first league coach of the year award.

2001 MWC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARThe school’s first Division I All-American on his side of the ball, cornerback Thomas wrapped up perhaps the finest defensive career in Rebel history by breaking the school and MWC single-season record for interceptions with seven, leading the nation in both inter-ception return yardage and defensive scoring after taking three balls back for touchdowns while also pacing the league in passes defended with 17.

1998 WAC FRESHMANOF THE YEAR (PACIFIC DIVISION)A true Hawaiian warrior, Sunia became the first freshman in school history vot-ed team captain and went on to start all 11 games at middle linebacker. Named First Team Freshman All-America by Football News after leading his team with 115 total tackles, Sunia would gain 119 takedowns a year later but spend his final two seasons suffering from various injuries that would keep him

from breaking UNLV’s career tackle record.

1996 WAC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (MOUNTAIN DIVISION)Arguably the best freshman quarter-back in Division I-A history, Denton shattered 10 NCAA freshman records and 10 other school offensive marks for a team that won only one game. His nine 200-yard passing games included a school-record 503-yard performance vs. SDSU while his 3,591 yards and 25 TDs passing were NCAA single-season records for a frosh. On pace to shatter

every conceivable UNLV passing record, the DENTON-ATOR would play only one more season before transferring to Eastern Kentucky.

1987 PCAA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARSaving the best for last, Elbert “Ickey” Woods gained only 267 yards his first three seasons. As a senior he pro-ceeded to lead the nation in rushing with 1,658 yards on 259 carries (6.4 YPC) and put in 10 touchdowns. He tied a school record with seven con-secutive 100-yard games, including an incredible three straight over 200. The next spring he would become the

highest drafted Rebel in history at No. 31 overall and go on to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl behind his signature Ickey Shuffle.

1983 & 1984 PCAA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARThe first two-time league MVP for the Rebels, Randall Cunningham was an All-American punter and future NFL star at quarterback. The school’s career passing leader threw for 2,545 yards, 18 TDs and only 8 INTs in 1983 and followed that up with 2,628 yards, 24 TDs and 10 INTs in a senior campaign that saw his team finish 11-2, in-cluding winning the PCAA title and California Bowl. The next spring, he

would be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 37th pick and go on to a sterling 15-year pro career.

REBEL ALL - AMERICANS

RANDALL CUNNINGHAMPunter/QuarterbackAlthough he is now known for being the NFL’s all-time

leading rushing quarterback, Santa Barbara, Calif., native Randall Cunningham (1981-84) won his national collegiate honors at his other position – punter. Still the Rebels’ leader for punting average in a game (58.0), season (47.5) and career (45.6), Cunningham would own the second-best career punting average in college football

history if he had punted just eight more times during his three years on the field. Touted as a Heisman Trophy candi-date for his lethal combination of talent throwing, running and punting the ball, Cunningham was named first team All-America in 1983 (as well as honorable mention QB by AP) and second team in 1984, making him UNLV’s first two-time All-American since the school moved to Division I in 1977. He would go on to be the 37th pick in the 1985 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and was named the 1998 NFL Player of the Year as a Minnesota Viking QB.

JOE INGERSOLLDefensive Lineman

One of only four repeat All-Americans in UNLV history, Joe Ingersoll (1973-75) also was the first defensive player from the Rebels so honored. The Salt Lake City native played his freshman year at Utah before transferring to the desert and performing as a dominant defensive lineman for three years. As a

junior, “Big Joe” led the undefeated 1974 UNLV team in tackles with 105, including four sacks, and was tabbed an AP Div. II Second Team All-American. As a senior, the terrific tackle earned first team honors from the AFCA and would go on to become a seventh round choice by the Miami Dolphins in the 1976 NFL Draft. In 1987, Ingersoll was a member of the inaugural UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame.

MIKETHOMASRunning BackThe bluest of Blue Chip recruits out of Greenville, Texas, Mike Thomas 1973-74, signed on with the University of Oklahoma but soon left Norman to ride his way West and right into the Rebel – and national – record books. His two seasons in Las Vegas were nothing less than stunning. As a junior in 1973, he scored a school-record 20 touchdowns and led the nation in rushing yards with 1,741, which was just 35 short of the then-NCAA

single-season record. A year later, Thomas added 1,408 yards and 17 rushing scores to lead the Rebels to their only undefeated regular season and a Div. II ranking as high as No. 2 before losing in a national semifinal game. His still-UNLV-best career totals were 3,149 yards and 37 TDs born from a 6.6-yards-per-carry average. Both seasons resulted in AFCA First Team All-America nods for UNLV’s first true football star to make him the only two-time first-teamer in Rebel history. Thomas would go on to complete a fine NFL career with the Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers.

JIM SANDUSKYWide ReceiverAlthough his UNLV career was brief, San Diego native Jim Sandusky (1981)

turned in the greatest receiv-ing year in school history during his one year on campus. Catch-ing balls from the arm of QB Sam King as part of head coach Tony

Knap’s free-wheeling offense, Sandusky hauled in 68 passes (17 more than any previous Rebel) for 1,346 yards, which is still a school record. Despite playing in only 12 games, Sandusky remains tied for second at the school with eight career 100-yard receiving games. Such output would earn him Second Team All-America honors. However, with Knap retiring, San-dusky would transfer to San Diego State and go on to a distinguished career in the NFL and Canadian Football League.

The first non-senior to earn All-America at UNLV since Randall Cunningham in 1983, Jamaal Brimmer (2001-04) also became the first non-punting first team honoree for the Rebels since 1975. The hometown hero introduced himself to the nation early in the season with the greatest single defensive performance in school in leading his team to a major upset at Wisconsin on national TV. Brimmer’s phenomenal day, which included 11 tackles, two interceptions, one fumble return for a TD and two quarterback sacks, earned him the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week honors. The free safety, who would be voted the school’s first

two-time consensus league MVP in his career, led the MWC with six interceptions and four forced fumbles to go with three sacks and four fumble recoveries in 2003. The first UNLV semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award became the school’s first two-time All-American since Cunningham with nods from AP and The Sporting News as a senior. That followed being named a community service All-American as a member of the 2004 AFCA Good Works Team.

JAMAAL BRIMMER Safety

Making a strong bid as being the best defensive player in school history, Kevin Thomas (1998-2001) turned on the gas to close out his stellar career and become the first Rebel on his side of the ball to earn All-America since 1975. Holder of various school and conference records, KT came to Las Vegas from Sacramento as a scrawny and unheralded defensive back but left as one of the best cover men in the nation en route to being tabbed third team All-America by Football News and fourth team by The Sporting News. The second three-time first team all-conference player in Rebel history, his seven picks as a senior broke the UNLV and MWC record for a single season as he led the nation in interception return yardage (213) and defensive scoring (18 points). An iron man who never missed a start in four seasons (UNLV-record 46 overall), his six career touchdowns highlighted a school-record 55 career pass breakups. The Jim Thorpe candidate and MWC Defensive Player of the Year played in both the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Game before being selected by the Buffalo Bills in the NFL Draft.

KEVIN THOMASCornerback

Joe Kristosik (1995-98) was a bright light through the program’s only winless season in 1998. He walked on to his hometown team in 1994 and five years later walked away as the school’s first and only consensus First Team All-American. Kristosik was the first Rebel booter to lead the nation in punting with a 46.2-yard average, which was the second-highest in NCAA history with a minimum of 75 attempts. Along the way, he turned in perhaps the greatest performance ever by a collegiate punter when he had 13 tries at BYU with eight going longer than 50 yards and a stunning four traveling at least 60 yards, including two season-long kicks of 67 yards. Kristosik became the first-ever UNLV member of the prestigious Walter Camp Football Foundation team.

BRIAN PARVIN PunterBrian Parvin (1991-92) became UNLV’s first All-American in seven years when he was named to Football News’ second team as a senior. A transfer from Mt. San Antonio Junior College in Walnut, Calif., Parvin turned in a fine junior campaign with a 41.9-yard punting average, which was good for 18th in the nation. His senior year, however, produced the second-highest season number in school history with 46.3 – the third-best average in the nation in 1992.

Also the squad’s kickoff man in 1994, Faunce’s memorable 91-yard punt vs. UNR was not only a school record, but also helped the Rebels upset the Wolf Pack to win the Big West Conference title and a berth in Las Vegas Bowl III.

Nevada with a total of 28 students, UNLV now is home to more than 28,000 students coming from every county in Nevada, all 50 U.S. states and 88 countries. Much of UNLV’s tremendous expansion is the result of support from the Nevada Legislature and the state’s taxpayers. Private donors have played an important role as well. These gifts support new facilities and programs and, most important, provide the scholarship incentives that bring Nevada’s best and brightest student scholars to campus. UNLV operates an on-campus Center for Business and Economic Research, Center for Economic Education, Harry Reid Center for Envi-ronmental Studies (in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency), Desert Biology Research Center, Center for Survey Research, Nuclear Waste Transportation Research Center and other research and public-service centers. Offering 108 undergraduate programs and 138 gradu-ate tracts, UNLV graduated a class of more than 5,481 last year. The University operates on a semester system and is a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the Council of Graduate Schools, the American Council of Education and the Western College Association. All of the University’s academic programs are fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, and many programs have received further accreditation from independent national accreditation bodies.

LIED ATHLETIC COMPLEX

199

Opened in 1996, the $8.5 million Lied Athletic Complex remains one of the nation’s premier on-campus sports facilities. The Lied, honored with Athletic Management magazine’s 1997 Award of Excellence, was exclusively funded by private donations beginning with a cornerstone gift of $4 million from the Lied Foundation Trust, through its trustee Ms. Christina Hixson, in 1993. A generous $1.5 million gift from Si and Marilyn Redd provided the Lied with a state-of-the-art sports medicine center for preventative and rehabilitative care. This 8,500-square-foot center includes a doctor’s office and examination room, a taping room, an aquatic therapy room, two additional therapy and rehabilitation areas and a self-contained drug-testing facility.

THE HONORARY LETTERMEN’S WALLThe Lettermen’s Wall stands as a permanent tribute to those men and women of vision who, through their generosity, have enhanced the lives and experiences of UNLV student-athletes through their contributions to the construction of the Lied Athletic Complex. The wall transforms a male and female UNLV student-athlete into beautiful etched images on polished crystal plaques.

The Ernie Becker Sr. Strength and Conditioning Center features 8,500 square feet of main floor containing Olympic platforms, free weights, power racks and more than 60 weight stations. Additionally, a 1,200-square-foot balcony offers areas for plyometrics, stretching and aerobics. The Lied’s 10,000-square-foot equipment center provides student-athlete support service featuring laundry, equipment and storage. The Conrad Hilton Foundation provided funding for the Barron Hilton Auditorium located inside the Lied Athletic Complex. This 328-seat auditorium provides student-athletes with study hall facilities including individual meeting rooms for tutorial support and team meetings. Designed with all Rebel sports in mind, the Lied Athletic Complex offers every student-athlete the best possible environment to pursue their athletic and academic dreams.

STAR PUNTER KRISTOSIK BECOMES 19TH FOOTBALL INDUCTEE No less than six national championships were celebrated as part of UNLV Athletics’ most recent Hall of Fame ceremonies, which were held Sept. 19, 2008. Five former Rebel players, one longtime head coach and a distinguished contributor joined two record-setting teams in being inducted. Born in 1987, UNLV’s Athletic Hall of Fame has grown to 96 members strong. Under the hall’s bylaws, former student-athletes must have completed their eligibility at least 10 years earlier to be selected. Coaches and administrators must have stopped working at the University five years previous. All classes now enter on a biennial basis. TIM BLENKIRON (1994-97) was one of the best doubles players in school history and paired up with Luke Smith to win the 1997 NCAA Doubles Championship, becoming one of six individual national champions at UNLV. The 1997 All-American was a member of three Big West Conference champion squads. JOE KRISTOSIK (1995-98) was UNLV football’s first consensus first team All-American after being a four-year starter as a punter for the Rebels. He turned in one of the best seasons at his position in college football history as a senior in 1998 while leading the nation with an average of 46.2, which was the second-highest in NCAA history for a punter with at least 75 attempts. KIM RONDINA (1994-97) was the greatest slugger in UNLV softball history and its only two-time conference MVP. She was named first team All-America in 1995 and third team in 1996 and ‘97. Helping the Rebels to three NCAA tournament appearances,

including one trip the Women’s College World Series, Rondina still holds 13 single-season and career batting records. LUKE SMITH (1994-97) stands as the only multiple NCAA champion in UNLV athletics history after winning the 1997 national title in singles and doubles. A three-time All-American, he also was a 1996 NCAA Doubles Semifinalist. Smith was a member of the 1997 Davis Cup Team for his native Australia and twice reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in doubles. MARIANNE VALLIN (1994-97) became the first UNLV women’s tennis player to enter the hall of fame. A three-time conference MVP, she was All-America in singles three times. The winningest singles player in program history brought home the 1997 Gladys Heldman Award, which goes to the nation’s top women’s tennis student-athlete. The 1998 UNLV MEN’S GOLF TEAM is one of only two Rebel squads to earn a national championship as head coach Dwaine Knight’s team won the 1998 NCAA team title in Albuquerque, N.M. The Rebels shot a final-round one-over par 289 to finish at 34-under-par 1,118, which set the NCAA record for lowest total in history. The 1995 UNLV WOMEN’S SOFTBALL TEAM set or tied 30 different school team records and 17 single-season marks en route to tying the record for wins with a 49-14 record. Coached by Shan McDonald, it was the first UNLV softball squad to win an outright conference title and finished third at the Women’s College World Series. HEAD COACH AL MCDANIELS (1975-92) guided the women’s track and field program to five conference championships and produced more than 60 individual champions and 40 All-Americans. The four-time conference coach of the year produced two NCAA Champions and six league MVPs. DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTOR DR. JAMES CALLWAY D.D.S. is a nationally respected dentist who has been part of the Rebel family for three decades, serving as the team dentist since 1977.
