2013 SEASON OUTLOOK

YOUTHFUL REBELS LOOKING TO AGE WELL

Any story previewing this year’s edition of the UNLV football team could include some terms considered quite rare in these parts. Indeed, key descriptions of any gridiron roster such as “experi-enced,” “deep” and “big and strong” haven’t really applied to the

Rebels since Hall of Fame Coach John Robinson roamed the sidelines. True, scholarship seniors are still a minority in this program (just 10 three-year letterwinners dot the 2013 roster) but the Rebels list the most returning starters in the Mountain West (nine on each side of the ball, plus a kicker) and actually boast more combined starts from last fall (a total of 250) than any team in college football. Yes, this is all part of what fourth-year head coach Bobby Hauck has been working for during three two-win seasons. A team that is fi nally fl irting to reach the 85-scholarship limit for the fi rst time in about a decade has produced a depth chart is more settled than ever at this point on the calendar. “We don’t have a lot of seniors but we do have a lot of upperclassmen on our two-deep and we’re not having to wait until August to produce a fairly accurate depth chart,” says Hauck. “None of these guys should feel too secure -- they know they’re competing every day -- but I will say it’s nice to have the ability to come out of spring without a bunch of unknowns. We know what they can do and where they fi t. I’m much more comfortable with this team than I’ve been at any point here. We know what we’ve got and we feel pretty good about it.” Asked if the fact that the team includes just three returning players that signed scholarships under the previous staff will make a difference, Hauck says the important change in the roster is really more a product of time. “We’ve got guys who have now spent two to three years in a college weight room so they look different than they did when they were freshmen. When they come out of high school, they shouldn’t look the same as they do in their fourth or fi fth year here and that’s the case. We’re getting to where we can be physically competitive in the Mountain West. It’s also about grow-ing and maturing physically and having the ability to hold up to the demands of the game. You look up and down the depth chart and the guys on it look different than the past. We are maturing into a good-looking team.” Another noticeable change on the sidelines comes in the form of new coordinators. Former college star and NFL quarterback Timm Rosenbach took over the offense while former longtime NFL safety and rising pro as-sistant coach Tim Hauck, who is the younger brother of the head man, now handles the defense. “They’re both good guys and they know what they’re doing,” says Hauck of the new blood. “Both Timm and Tim blended with the staff quickly. The transition has been seamless and we’re excited to see the way they are going to call the game.” Hauck says even though UNLV will face nine bowl teams this fall, optimism abounds at Rebel Park. “We didn’t win enough games last year but this group has the right attitude and we continue to become much more competitive as a team. We have a huge test to kick off the season. We’ve got two major-conference schools (Minnesota and Arizona) and then another bowl team (Central Michigan), which means we’ll have our hands full to start the year. But we have the makings of a good team. We’re more veteran. We don’t have all kinds of newcomers having to play. We’ve developed depth so we’re not replacing freshmen with other freshmen.

“Our guys are secure in the knowledge that they’re pretty competi-tive within this conference. We know the league now and feel that we’ll be highly competitive within the Mountain West, which is where we’ve been trying to get to. I believe that we are on the cusp of some really good sea-sons here.”

THE OFFENSE UNLV is in the enviable position of returning every skill player and most of the front in 2013. That should help the Rebels bump up their pass-ing game while continuing to be effective on the ground. “We made strides this spring,” says Hauck. “Part of that was because all but three players that played on our offense last year were freshmen and sophomores. We now look the part up front. I think our running backs will be a strength. If our young quarterbacks keep evolving and improving, they will be a strength for us as well. Certainly we have to throw the ball and our receivers and tight ends, though young, show great promise. We will only have one senior starter as it sits now, but they are experienced.” A year ago, the Rebels fi nished with 468 pass attempts while running it 452 times. Hauck says that split is just about right in his staff’s eyes. “We want balance,” he says. “You have balance -- you have the ability to control the game.”

QUARTERBACKS Returnee Nick Sherry (6-5, 235, SO-1L) was on target to easily break

the Mountain West re-cord for most passing yards by a freshman before he was slowed by injury late in 2012. His 2,544 yards in 12 games still ranked sixth in league history and eighth on UNLV’s single-season list for any passer. He also tied the Rebel mark for completions in a game with 33 against Wazzu and his 16 TD passes were the most by a UNLV QB since 2008. The bad news came in the interception column with 17 -- but look for that number to trend downward in year two under center for the good-sized sig-

nal caller. Former starter Caleb Herring (6-3, 200, SR-3L—301 passing yards) split time as a receiver in 2012 but is back working more behind center after spring ball. Redshirt freshman Troy Hawthorne (6-3, 185, FR-RS), who is the fastest of the three, now has a spring practice on his resume to help make the overall position much deeper than a year ago.

SHERRY

Page 10: 2013 UNLV Football Prospectus

2013 SEASON OUTLOOKHAUCK SAYS: “Nick Sherry had a good spring. He improved, which is what you’d expect for a guy moving from a freshman to a sophomore. Troy Hawthorne showed vast improvement and needs to continue on that path. Caleb Herring has the ability to come in and contribute at any time. We’re going to use him whenever we can wherever we can. He’s a good fi t in that regard because of his attitude and his understanding of the game.”

RUNNING BACKS Last year, tailback Tim Cornett (6-0, 210, SR-3L) became the fi rst player to lead the Rebels in rushing three consecutive seasons since Mi-chael Morton in the late 1970s. If Cornett becomes the fi rst to do it four times, he fi gures to also supplant the legendary Mike Thomas (3,149 yards in 1973-74) as the program’s all-time lead-ing rusher. In 2012, Cornett posted the fi fth-hightest total in school history with 1,232 yards and is the clear leader in the backfi eld. The tough Texan needs 701 yards to pass Thomas and will start the 2013 season as the leading active FBS running back with 11 career 100-yard rushing games as only a pair of quarterbacks has more among all return-ing players. During the off-season, the only other tailback that got a carry a year ago became the third Rebel ever to leave school early as Bradley Randle (635 yards) gave up his eligibility to sign a NFL free-agent deal with Minnesota. That makes it a certainty that there will be a lot of new faces getting handoffs in the fall. With Cornett taking off the spring to heal up, Adonis Smith (5-11, 200, JR-TR) got the bulk of carries and the former Northwestern transfer should be a prominent feature in the offense. The only player on the roster to have played in a bowl game (actually, two while lining up in the Big Ten), Smith offers some good experience to help off-set the relatively green set of high-ceiling signees expected to battle for time. HAUCK SAYS: “We’ve got a guy slotted in the No. 1 spot that will most likely leave here as UNLV’s career leader in rushing yards and he’ll likely be fi ghting for carries with three or four other guys. We are not worried about the running back spot missing a beat, we have some guys coming in the fall that we think can contribute.”

WIDE RECEIVERS The Rebels return their top seven pass catchers from the 2012 sea-son and lose only 10 percent of their total receptions last fall (25 out of 250). Leading the way is Devante Davis (6-3, 200, JR-2L), who set career highs with 61 catches for 854 yards last season as a sophomore. The tall target ranked second in the Mountain West with 65.7 yards per game and had monster games at LA Tech (186 yards) and against New Mexico (145). Another junior, speedster Marcus Sullivan (5-9, 195, JR-2L) was right

behind Davis on the stats board with 55 receptions for 659 yards and four trips to the end zone. They’ll be joined by Anthony Williams (5-11, 190, SO-1L--22 catches for 337 yards), who showed fl ashes as a rookie, and a player in position to make his fi rst real impact, veteran WR Taylor Spencer (6-1, 210, JR-2L--9 for 116). Quarterback Caleb Herring had 18 grabs for 136 yards after moving over as a junior and is available to play here as well if needed.HAUCK SAYS: “We have some players in this group that have fi lled critical roles in the past as underclassmen. We need them to refi ne their play and become established playmakers in both the run and pass game. They’ve shown a willingness to be avid participants in the run game, which shows me they are evolving. I like our guys.”

TIGHT ENDS/FULLBACKS/H-BACKS It’s not hard to fi gure out why fans should expect to see the tight ends become a bigger part of the Rebel offense starting this September -- it’s because the program fi nally has some to work with. Jake Phillips (6-6, 255, SO-1L) started all 13 games as a freshman a year ago and fi nished third on the team with 23 receptions for 232 yards a score. All of those totals could go up while still-growing redshirt Andrew Price (6-6, 240, FR-RS) looks to become a target. Taylor Barnhill (6-4, 240, JR-2L) has lined up all over the fi eld (QB, TE, H, LB) during his career and is now a veteran presence at H-back after catching 14 passes for 106 yards and two TDs in 2012. Tyler Bergsten (6-4, 240, SO-1L) got his feet wet last year and will push for time. Last year’s primary fullbacks, William Vea (6-0, 250, JR-3L) and Max Johnson (6-1, 240, SR-3L) are also back.HAUCK SAYS: “We’re excited about our young tight ends and their potential. It’s probably our youngest – along with our secondary – group and they need to perform but they do look the part. It’s nice to have some tight ends because we want to use that in our offense. Scheme-wise, that may be the biggest difference to our team now as compared to when we got here.”

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN Not a single senior is listed up front and the only two positions on this side of the ball that don’t return a starting player are along the offensive line -- but there are signs that this unit may be more of an asset than at any time during the Hauck era. The two biggest names did not even compete in spring ball but that only allowed others a chance to gain fi eld time as much-needed depth continues to develop. Look for a bounce-back year from Brett Boyko (6-7, 310, JR-2L) at left tackle as the big Canadian is on target to be 100 percent healthy after starting just four games as a sophomore after being named a second team Freshman All-American in 2011. Despite sitting out all of spring prac-tice, Boyko will man the spot and allow last year’s returning starter at the position -- Cameron Jefferson (6-6, 300, JR-2L) -- to move back to his intended position of right tackle. Relative youngsters Andrew Oberg (6-7, 280, SO-1L) and Alex Novosel (6-6, 270, SO-SQ) are the fi rst wave of backups. Injuries on the line pushed Ron Scoggins Jr. (6-3, 335, SO-1L), the son and namesake of a former Rebel lineman, into starting duty at left guard as a true freshman last fall and he will only get better with a season and now a spring under his belt. Right guard is an interesting competition. Veteran Brian Roth (6-5, 300, JR-2L) was repeatedly cited by coaches

CORNETT

Page 11: 2013 UNLV Football Prospectus

2013 SEASON OUTLOOKfor having one of the best springs on the team and will look to get his fi rst signifi -cant time this season. First, however, he’ll have to beat out young Nick Gstrein (6-4, 285, SO-1L) as the for-mer tight end moved down the line to this spot and did enough during spring to continue the experiment into fall camp. Walk-on Brad Overand (6-6, 280, SR-2L), the only senior listed on the post-spring two-deep, adds depth. Joining Boyko in sit-ting out spring while rehab-bing was Rimington Award Watch List member Robert Waterman (6-2, 290, JR-2L). The two-time honor-

able mention All-Mountain West center has started all 25 games of his Rebel career and will be counted on to be the man in the middle again in 2013. Junior college signee C.J. Backlund (6-4, 265, JR-TR) is listed at No. 2 even before he sets foot on campus.HAUCK SAYS: “We’ve lived through playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores the last couple of years. Even though we don’t have seniors, it is an experienced and physical group that we expect to be a strength. Not having Boyko and Waterman (for spring practice) inhibited their personal development but as a team allowed us to get a substantial number of plays for some of our younger and less experienced guys. Playing time at both guard spots is going to be hotly contested and that’s going to make us bet-ter. The tackle spots will be too, but some younger guys are going to have to come along to make that happen. Brian Roth has done a nice job. He is a prime example of our guys that are growing up. Guys not playing a lot until they’re juniors is the way it’s supposed to be in a program that has a sound recruiting structure. We have good players here that have a chance to have good seasons over the next couple of years.”

THE DEFENSE With nine starters back from last year’s unit and an infl ux of big bod-ies up front, the pieces seem to fi nally be falling into place for what has been a total rebuild of the defense under this staff. “We were sound physically,” Hauck says of his defense during spring, which was the fi rst involving his brother, Tim, who was known for his tech-nique and tenacity during his pro career. “I think the tackling improved and we want to keep working on that so that we’re the best tackling team on the fi eld whenever we play.”

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Undermanned a year ago, the line has plenty of candidates to help shore up the defense this fall. At the end spots, still-growing youngster Sonny Sanitoa (6-3, 260, SO-1L) is back after leading the team in sacks with fi ve in just nine games played as a freshman. Former tight end Jordan Sparkman (6-6, 265, JR-

2L) is the other listed starter coming out of spring while another good-looking sophomore Jeremiah Valoaga (6-5, 250, SO-1L) and midyear JC transfer Siuea Vaesau (6-3, 245, JR-TR) are also in the rotation. In the middle, senior leader Alex Klorman (6-2, 285, SR-3L), who will wear the Battle Born Jersey No. 36 this fall, mans one tackle spot while former JC signee Mark Garrick (6-4, 280, SR-1L) is penciled in at the other. Veteran Tyler Gaston (6-3, 290, SR-3L) and another midyear junior college addition, Pingi Moli (6-4, 270, JR-TR) are also in the mix of what could be the deepest Rebel D-line in a decade.HAUCK SAYS: “The defensive line for the fi rst time is solid in the two-deep and has a chance to be a real strength for our team. We have some veteran leadership and some good, young talent. We need to continue to develop as pass-rushers. I think we play the run very well and are going to continue to develop in the pass game.”

LINEBACKERS With John Lotulelei and his team-leading 120 tackles off to the NFL (signing a free-agent deal with Seattle), it seems odd that this is actu-ally the squad’s most-senior group. The strongside position is primarily manned by veteran Tim Hasson (6-2, 215, SR-3L) who ranked second on the team with 76 TT in 2012. The Las Vegas product has played in all 38 games after originally walking on to the Rebels and should provide a steadying infl uence on his side of the ball. Two more seniors will look to get the upper hand in the middle as UNLV’s active tackles leader Tani Maka (6-1, 240, SR-3L--70 TT in 2012/158 in career) is listed No. 1 along with late 2012 signee Max Ehlert (5-10, 220, SR-1L--29 TT), who learned the game in his home country of Finland before heading to a JC and getting his feet wet on this level last fall. The weakside position features a familiar name and number but fans will have to get to know the “new” Lotulelei wearing jersey No. 55. Tau Lotulelei (6-1, 220, FR-RS) redshirted after walking on the squad last Au-gust but has shown the same ferociousness and drive that made his older brother such an effective defender. The fi nal senior in the top group is for-mer walk-on running back Prince Oroke (6-1, 230, SR-1L) while a pair of redshirts that turned heads during their fi rst spring -- Trent Langham (6-2, 210, FR-RS) and Iggy Porchia (6-2, 210, FR-RS) -- will also vie for time.HAUCK SAYS: “Linebacker is our most veteran group as it is the only place where we have a large number of seniors. We expect them to lead on that side of the ball and make plays. I think we have a good blend there. I like our seniors and our freshmen that are playing with them. We have a good number of guys battling for playing time.”

SAFETIES While the corners are experienced, the safeties are anything but. Three sophomores and a pair of freshmen fi ll up the depth chart after spring. At strong safety, Peni Vea (6-1, 200, SO-1L) was a ball hawk when he was on the fi eld as he picked up 52 tackles in just eight games. Injuries, however, kept him on the sidelines for the other third of the season and the sophomore looks to stay healthy this fall. Over at free safety, Kenny Keys (6-4, 185, SO-1L--45 TT) tied for the team lead with two picks and looks to use his tremendous size to get even more snaps this fall after earning six starts. David Greene (6-0, 195, SO-1L--11 TT) picked up some valuable time as a true freshman and is listed behind Keys while redshirts Marc Philippi (5-10, 210, FR-RS) and Jonavaughn Williams (6-0, 190, FR-RS), who spent last year as a receiver, are in a battle behind Vea.

WATERMAN

Page 12: 2013 UNLV Football Prospectus

2013 SEASON OUTLOOKHAUCK SAYS: “Safety is the youngest position and is one of the big question marks on our team. We feel like we have good, young talent there. It’s a complex position and those guys need to be students of the game and diligent in the weight room so that they can get the job done in the fall.”CORNERBACKS Both starting corners return and the top four candidates all saw signifi -cant playing time a year ago. Sidney Hodge (5-8, 180, SR-3L), a graduate student now wearing jersey No. 4, turned in 60 tackles and a team-leading

nine passes defended as a junior. Tajh Hasson (6-1, 195, JR-2L--45 TT, 1 INT) is the half-brother of lineback-er Tim Hasson and turned in one of the team’s best springs to move to the top of the depth chart. Fred Wil-son (6-0, 175, SO-1L--18 TT) had two interceptions and recovered a fumble as a rookie and looks to make a big jump in year two while Kenneth Penny (5-11, 170, JR-2L--34 TT) started sev-en games in 2012.HAUCK SAYS: “The cornerbacks had a nice spring. Hodge played the best football of his time as a Rebel and the expectation is that he’ll have his best

year. Tahj made a big move this spring. He played really physical, which is something he needed to do. Fred and Kenny are working hard every day to improve and need to continue to develop consistency to be good players.”

THE SPECIAL TEAMS UNLV’s only returning First Team All-MW honoree from a year ago is place-kicker Nolan Ko-horst (6-0, 180, SR-3L), who is on track to shatter a serious amount of UNLV career records, including a chance to become his school’s all-time leading scorer after nailing 12 of 14 fi eld-goal attempts a year ago. The punter spot, however, will have to be de-cided during camp as Ne-vada, Reno transfer Logan Yunker (6-2, 215, SO-TR) will try to earn the job after sitting out last season. Who will be doing the kick returns is no done deal. Marcus Sullivan averaged 23.5 YPR on kickoffs --

good for 46th in the nation -- a year ago while Tim Cornett has also proved effective over the years when lining up deep. Senior DB Eric Tuiloma-Va’a (6-0, 215, SR-3L) is a candidate to return punts.HAUCK SAYS: “We expect Nolan to have his best season at UNLV and continue to improve. We expect him to never miss at this point in his career. However, we still haven’t settled on a punter.”

THE SCHEDULE Nine teams coming off bowl trips (seventh-most in the FBS in 2013) and the fi rst two are against teams from the Big Ten and Pac-12. Not exact-ly the best way to ease into conference play, but that’s what the Rebels are going to face in 2013. However, the squad will have seven home games for the second consecutive year. The 46th season of UNLV football kicks off on Thursday Aug. 29 with the Rebels’ fi rst trip to play at Minnesota. The Golden Gophers will be only the third Big Ten team to host the Rebels, following a 1998 trip to North-western and fi ve trips to Wisconsin. The Rebels and Gophers also opened the 2012 season with a triple-OT thriller on a Thursday in Las Vegas. On Sept. 7, UNLV plays Arizona for only the second time and fi rst time at home as the Wildcats’ only previous visit to Las Vegas came in the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl. One week later on Sept. 14, UNLV will host Central Michigan. The programs have met three times with UNLV winning twice. The Rebels downed CMU 33-20 in Las Vegas in 1993 while the Chips prevailed 35-23 in Mount Pleasant in 1994. The teams faced each other again later that year as UNLV defeated the MAC champs 52-24 in the 1994 Las Vegas Bowl. The Rebels have played six schools that are currently members of the MAC but this will be the fi rst such meeting since UNLV defeated Toledo at Sam Boyd on Aug. 29, 2003. The non-conference schedule wraps up Sept. 21 as UNLV hosts Western Illinois for the fi rst time in 36 years. The Leathernecks are the fi rst school from the FCS Missouri Valley Conference to play the Rebels since Illinois State came in 1997. The all-time series is tied at one as WIU won 35-28 in Las Vegas in 1972, and then UNLV prevailed 59-29 at Sam Boyd Stadium in 1977. UNLV, which is a member of the new West Division, will open its league schedule by traveling to Mountain Division member New Mexico on Sept. 28 before going into a bye week. Hawai’i then comes to town on Oct. 12 before the Rebels head out for two consecutive weeks. UNLV takes on Fresno State for the fi rst time since 1997 with a road game Oct. 19. The Bulldogs joined the MW in 2012 but the two programs did not play each other. On Oct. 26, the 39th edition of the Battle for the Fremont Cannon will be waged when the Rebels head to Nevada, Reno. UNLV will play three home games in the month of November, starting on Nov. 2 with the fi rst matchup with new conference member San Jose State since 1997. The league’s other new member, Utah State, comes to town one week later on Nov. 9. After having to play for 13 straight weeks a year ago, UNLV will have its second bye week of the fall on Nov. 16 before playing a Thursday game at Air Force on Nov. 21. The regular-season fi nale will see San Diego State come to Sam Boyd Stadium on Nov. 30. “It will be a diffi cult start to the year versus two BCS auto-conference teams, but we will face that challenge head-on,” Hauck says. “We’re ex-cited about the new divisional scheduling format in our league. As was the case a year ago, all of our home games should be great, exciting college football games.”

REBELATIONS...REBELATIONS...With UNLV’s season-opening game at Minnesota moving to a weekday (Aug. 29), the Rebels will play their 15th Thursday game in history. The program boasts an 8-6 record on Thursdays (including one bowl game) and an impressive overall non-Saturday record of 14-8-1. It will mark only the third Big Ten Conference stadium visited by the Rebels (fi ve trips to Wisconsin and one visit to Northwestern in 1998) but UNLV is also scheduled to play at Michigan in 2015. The Rebels will also play one MW game on a Thursday night when they travel to Air Force on Nov. 21.Of the 16 players that caught at least one pass for the Rebels in 2012, 12 of them are expected back in 2013. In fact, UNLV returns 91 percent of its receiving yards (2,587 of 2,845 yards) and 89 percent of its receiving touchdowns (16 of 18), led by starters Devante Davis (854 yards and four TDs) and Marcus Sullivan (659 and four). Sophomore quarterback Nick Sherry’s debut season in 2012 saw him tie the school record for completions in a game with 33 vs. Washington State and his 2,544 yards passing not only ranked seventh in UNLV single-season history but it was also the fourth-most thrown by any freshman in Mountain West history.Senior Nolan Kohorst, who has been the Rebels’ starting place-kicker since stepping on campus three seasons ago, needs 72 more points in 2013 to tie former RB Mike Thomas’ record for career points at UNLV with 240, which was set in 1974. Kohorst earned fi rst team All-MW honors a year ago after nailing a career-best 12 of 14 fi eld-goal attempts en route to leading the team with 68 points. The fourth year of the Bobby Hauck era brings two prominent new faces to the coaching staff as former Washington State star quarterback and NFL starter Timm Rosenbach, and former longtime NFL player Tim Hauck took over as offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively, in time for spring practice. Rosenbach, who came in seventh in the 1988 Heisman Trophy voting while in Pullman, spent last season directing the offense at the University of Montana. Hauck, who is the younger brother of the head coach, was an up-and-coming secondary coach in the NFL, spending last year with the Cleveland Browns, before coming back to college.Fans may do a double take when a linebacker named Lotulelei takes the fi eld wearing jersey No. 55 this fall. That’s because UNLV’s top player from a year ago, fi rst team All-MW honoree John Lotulelei (pictured, left), is now off to the NFL. However, John’s younger brother, Tau Lotulelei (pictured, right), walked on to the team a year ago and redshirted but coaches have seen enough positives from the fellow-linebacker to award him his brother’s number and list him atop the depth chart at WLB.

klorman is battle bornAfter spending his fi rst four years on campus wearing No. 95, senior Alex Klorman has become the fi rst defensive lineman to earn the honor of wearing Battle Born Jersey No. 36 for the Rebels. Born and raised in Las Vegas, the graduate of Del Sol High School walked on to the UNLV program in 2009 and earned his fi rst letter one year later and eventually earned a full scholarship. In 2012 he posted a career-high 34 total tackles, including his second career sack. Head Coach Bobby Hauck, who began the new tradition at UNLV in 2010, announced at the beginning of spring practice that Klorman would be the fourth Battle Born hon-oree. In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state to enter the union, and the state’s nickname, which appears on the fl ag, is “Battle Born,” refl ecting the state’s entry on the Union side during the American Civil War. Rebel Football Jersey No. 36 -- complete with a patch on the back of the state fl ag -- is worn annually by a Nevadan who

TIMMY TOUCHDOWN IS CENTURY MARK LEADER

Running back Tim Cornett will start the 2013 season as the leading active FBS running back with 11 career 100-yard rushing games. Only a pair of quarterbacks has more among all returning players. Cornett last fall became the fi rst Rebel to lead the team in rushing three consecutive seasons since Michael Morton in 1979-81 and is looking to become the fi rst-ever UNLV player to pace the team on the ground for four years.

2013 UNLV SIGNEES

HAUCK ANNOUNCES HIS FOURTH REBEL CLASS UNLV football head coach Bobby Hauck’s fourth recruiting class at the school was made up of 22 future Rebels. “I really like the makeup of our class,” Hauck said. “We have a good blend of junior college and high school players. I think we addressed some needs with the JC guys helping fi ll in the veteran part of our roster while we added a good group of kids coming out of the high school ranks.” The list, which includes 13 high school players and nine junior-college players, features nine recruits that were assigned at least three stars by either Scout.com, 247Sports.com, ESPN or Rivals.com. The group includes fi ve midyear JC signees but not the trio of grayshirts that signed previously and joined the program in the spring semester as true freshmen. The class is split with 13 offensive players, eight on defense and one listed as an Athlete. The full breakdown is as follows: 4 DL, 3 LB, 4 OL, 3 WR, 3 RB, 2 TE, 1 DB, 1 QB and 1 ATH. “We have a class that is spread out in terms of positions, being equal on offense and defense,” Hauck said. “That’s what you want to do -- make sure your board is covered.” The group consists of student-athletes whose hometowns are spread among nine states, one territory and two foreign countries: eight from California, three from Texas, two from Nevada and one each from Arizona, Hawaii, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, American Samoa, Finland and Canada. “We did really well in our normal recruiting footprint -- the West, along with the state of Texas. Having made some inroads in Texas has been very productive for us. Specifi cally the Houston area guys have been really good players and good students. “We signed two locals and we’ll keep pounding Las Vegas hard,” Hauck said. “I think we offered nearly every recruit in town that is going to sign a Division I scholarship. We’ll continue to show Las Vegas kids that this is a great place to stay and play their college football.”

Bobby Hauck, who was the winningest coach in Division I FCS, was hired as the 10th head coach in Rebel football history on Dec. 23, 2009. Hauck (pronounced HOWK) immediately got to work rebuilding the UNLV program and guided his new school through some of its toughest schedules in history the last three seasons. He had spent the previous seven seasons as the record-setting head coach of the University of Montana where he compiled an overall record of 80-17, including leading the Grizzlies to three national championship games in the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA). The winningest coach in Big Sky Conference history, Hauck earned at least a share of the league’s title all seven years at Montana en route to compiling a record of 47-6. The more-recent numbers were even more impressive as his records in his last four seasons were 51-6 overall and 31-1 in conference play. Hauck, 48, was named Big Sky Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007 and 2009 and AFCA Regional FCS Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2009. He became the youngest head coach in modern Montana history when he was named to the post in 2002, and record-setting success soon followed as he compiled four more conference championships than anyone else in Grizzly history. His fi nal UM team in 2009 team fi nished 14-1 and reached the FCS Championship game for the second consecutive season.

“It’s my belief that Bobby Hauck is one of the great young coaches in America today,” UNLV Athletics Director Jim Livengood said. “His ability to direct a pro-gram, his history of success in recruiting and his love for the game of football clearly project him as having an exciting future here at UNLV.” A veteran of eight bowl games, Hauck also brought tremendous experience from stints coaching in both the Pacifi c-10 and Big 12 conferences. Previous to taking over his alma mater, he spent four years at the University of Washington (1999-2002) where he coached defensive backs and special teams and was con-sidered one of the top recruiters in college football. Before that he was at the University of Colorado for four seasons (1995-98) where he was the special teams and recruiting coordinator while also coaching the safeties. Before joining the Buffaloes, Hauck coached the outside linebackers and handled recruiting duties for Northern Arizona University (1993-94). He served as a graduate assistant at UCLA in 1990-91 and in 1992 served as the Bruins’ on-campus recruiting coordinator. Hauck began his collegiate coaching career as a volunteer assistant for Montana in 1988-89, working with the secondary and then the inside linebackers. A native of the Treasure State, Hauk was a three-sport star at Sweet Grass High School in Big Timber, Mont., and went on to twice letter in track and fi eld at the University of Montana. His fi rst coaching position was in 1987 as an assistant at his prep alma mater before joining the collegiate ranks. Hauck, born on June 14, 1964, earned his bachelor’s degree from Montana in 1987 and master’s from UCLA in 1991. He and his wife, Stacey, have four chil-dren: daughters Sydney, Alexandra and Elise and son Robby. His father, Robert Hauck Sr., coached high school football in the state of Montana for three decades and his brother, Tim Hauck, played 13 seasons as a defensive back in the NFL and is in his fi rst season as UNLV’s defensive coordinator.

LAS VEGAS -- Playing late on a Thursday night in August, UNLV and Minnesota faced each other for the fi rst time ever and helped kick off the 2012 college football season before a national TV audience. They also nearly played their way right into into the next day as the Gophers escaped with a 30-27 win in triple overtime. Debuting newly designed helmets and uniforms and hosting just the third Big Ten Conference team to ever come to Las

REBEL NOTESThe Rebels fell to 3-8 all-time in overtime games and 0-2 in triple-OT gamesUNLV has lost three straight season-opening games to Big Ten Conference opponents (2010 and 2011 to Wisconsin)The Rebels fell to 22-23 all-time in season lid-lifters, including 17-8 when they took place at homeUNLV fell to 8-6 in games played on a Thursday and 14-9-1 in non-Saturday games all-timeRedshirt Nick Sherry became just the third freshman to start a season opener at quarterback for the Rebels. Jon Denton lost at Tennessee in 1996 and Travis Dixon won his debut at Utah State in 2007.Sherry waited until the second round of overtime to throw his fi rst collegiate touchdown, a six-yarder to Devante Davis on fourth-and-goal. Marcus Sullivan played in his fi rst game since 2010 and, despite missing half the game after being knocked out of the action, tied with Devante Davis for a game-high fi ve receptions.In his UNLV debut, redshirt freshman safety Peni Vea tied with senior linebacker John Lotulelei for a game-high nine total tackles.

GAME 1

Vegas, UNLV struck fi rst with a 39-yard Nolan Kohorst fi eld goal that was set up by a tipped-pass interception byTim Hasson that he returned 44 yards. Things stayed that way until James Gillum got the Gophers on the board with a 16-yard rushing TD to end the scoring in the first half. The Rebels retook the lead when a Minnesota muffed punt (also recovered by Hasson) was converted into a Tim Cornett one-yard scoring plunge. The Gophers tied it, and then took the lead, with a pair of fourth-quarter fi eld goals. However, the Rebels eventually sent it into overtime courtsey of a 35-yard Kohorst fi eld goal. Playing in OT for the fi rst time since 2008, UNLV rolled into the end zone with an 18-yard Cornett scamper. A Rebel late hit on UM QB MarQueis Gray set the Gophers up for a game-tying answer as Gray found John Rabe to extend the evening. That same combo hooked up for a 25-yard TD just minutes later before UNLV answered with a Nick Sherry to Devante Davis six-yard scoring pass on fourth down. Sherry, who was just the third freshman QB to ever start a UNLV season opener, went first in the third overtime and tossed his third interception fo the game in the end zone. The Gophers then ended it with a 32-yard fi eld goal.

LAS VEGAS -- For the second consecutive week, the UNLV Rebels (0-2) lost a second-half lead as Northern Arizona (1-1) defeated UNLV 17-14. The result came down to a NAU field goal with 12 seconds left. The Lumberjacks’ Andy Wilder nailed a 30-yarder that sealed the Rebels’ fate. Despite the fi nal score, UNLV got off to a good start. Its fi rst score came on the opening drive as junior running back

REBEL NOTESSenior Eric Johnson fi nally made his Rebel debut in the fi rst quarter when he lined up deep for a punt return. The former JC transfer had to sit out the 2011 season while gaining his eligibility and missed the 2012 opener because of injury.Three Rebels recorded their first career receptions vs. NAU: redshirt freshman tight end Jake Phillips (a 25-yard reception from Nick Sherry); junior fullback Max Johnson (a seven-yarder); and senior WR/RB Eric Johnson (a 29-yarder). Phillips ended up leading the team with give grabs for 69 yards.Cornett, who had 99 yards in the fi rst quarter alone, fi nished with a career-high 141 yards on 25 carries. He became the fi rst Rebel to hit the century mark four times in a fi ve-game span since Dominique Dorsey did it in 2004.Bradley Randle’s one-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter was his fourth career score. The junior fi nished with 41 net yards on 13 carries.With UNLV’s blocking a 34-yard NAU fi eld-goal attempt as time expired in the second quarter, the Rebels took a 14-0 lead into halftime. That marked the fi rst time UNLV shut out an opponent in the fi rst half since leading Iowa State 21-0 at the break on Sept. 20, 2008.Freshman safety Peni Vea led the team in tackles for the second straight game with nine each time.

GAME 2

Tim Cornett broke a 42-yard run for a touchdown. Cornett went on to fi nish with a career-high 141 yards on 25 carries. UNLV took a 14-0 lead in the second quarter when junior running back Bradley Randle punched in a one-yard touchdown after a 17-play drive. The Rebels took their two touchdown lead into halftime when junior college transfer Mark Garrick blocked an NAU fi eld goal attempt from 34 yards out. It was the fi rst time since 2008 that UNLV had shut out an opponent in the fi rst half. In the third quarter, the Rebels’ opening drive stalled, which resulted in a punt that NAU took back for a 75-yard touchdown and changed the complexion of the game UNLV had a chance to make it a two score game again, but a 30-yard Nolan Kohorst fi eld goal attempt hit the right upright. The Lumberjacks tied the game on the following possession, marching 80 yards on 15 plays. Freshman quarterback Nick Sherry went 16-of-29 and fi nished with 239 yards. He connected with fel low freshmen Jake Phillips and Anthony Williams for a combined 129 yards. Phillips fi nished with a team-high 69 yards on five catches and Williams notched 60 yards on two catches.

LAS VEGAS -- The UNLV Rebels fought for their fi rst win of the season, but came up just short as Washington State held off a late UNLV attack and won 35-27. It seemed as the Cougars were going to pick up where they left off last year, scoring the fi rst 14 points of the game in just over 10 minutes. But the Rebels responded when Nick Sherry found Marcus Sullivan for a 37-yard

REBEL NOTESNick Sherry completed at least one pass to 12 different players, which is believed to be the most in school history for a single game.The Rebels sported four different players with at least five receptions in the same game for the fi rst time since a home loss vs. Air Force on Sept. 7, 1996.Marcus Sullivan had four catches for 126 yards in the fi rst half alone. That made him the fi rst Rebel to reach 100-yard mark in a game since Phillip Payne fi nished with 175 vs. Southern Utah on Sept. 24, 2011. The sophomore fi nished with 136 on six grabs to go with two touchdowns.Freshman safety Peni Vea led the team in tackles for the third straight game with 10. He now has 28 in three games.Offensive lineman Ron Scoggins Jr. became the fourth true freshman to play for UNLV this season, starting in place of Brett Boyko. He is the son of former lineman Ron Sr., who lettered for the Rebels from 1983-85.

GAME 3

touchdown. Washington State took another two touchdown advantage early in the second quarter. UNLV countered with a 22-yard Nolan Kohorst fi eld goal, but then the fi reworks began. Washington State’s Connor Halliday threw an 81-yard bomb to Marquess Wilson that would give the Cougars their largest lead of the night. On the fi rst play of the Rebels’ next possession Sherry again found Sullivan on a 75-yard touchdown. That was the longest touchdown pass since 2009. The Rebels closed out the half with another Kohorst fi eld goal, this one coming from 18 yards out. In the third quarter, each defense stepped up, as neither team was able to score. The Cougars opened the fourth quarter with a three-yard touchdown run to cap a 13 play drive. After trading a few punts, the Rebels were able to get back in gear, but it would prove to be a little too late. Sherry found fellow freshman Jake Phillips for a four-yard touchdown with 1:44 left in the game. The Rebels could not recover their onside kick try, but stopped the Cougars on fourth down with 40 seconds left in the game. Sherry completed two passes for 22 yard in the waning seconds, but it proved to be all for not as the time expired on the Rebels’ hopes. Sherry fi nished the night 33-49-1 for 351 yards and two touchdowns. His 33 completions, which tied a school record, were spread out to 12 different receivers, which is believed to have set a new school record. Sherry’s top target was Sullivan and he fi nished with six catches for 136 yards. Backup quarterback, Caleb Herring, saw action, for the fi rst time, at wide receiver and fi nished with fi ve receptions for 68 yards.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Going into Saturday night, conventional wisdom indicated Air Force’s running game would control UNLV. That logic held true for one half. Afterward, however, the Rebels used their ground game and defense to rally from an 11-point halftime defi cit and beat the Falcons, 38-35. Bradley Randle rushed for three touchdowns and Tim Cornett ran for 114 yards

REBEL NOTESUNLV opened conference play vs. Air Force for the sixth time, which is more than any other school.The Rebels’ 38-35 victory snapped an eight-game losing streak for the school as well as a fi ve-game losing skid to the Falcons.The winning team in this series averages 38 points - exactly what the Rebels scored Saturday - and has never scored less than 24.UNLV won its fi rst conference opener since shutting out Utah in 2007. The Rebels improved to just 9-22 all-time in league lid-lifters but 7-9 when they took place at home.All four UNLV games in 2012 have been decided by single digits. That’s after only two Rebel games were decided by single digits in the fi rst two seasons (a win over CSU and a loss at UNM in 2011) under head coach Bobby Hauck.On a night that UNLV’s leading tackler - safety Peni Vea - did not play, fellow Hawaiian John Lotulelei picked up the slack with a team-season-high 14 total tackles.Two Rebels made their fi rst career starts vs. the Falcons: true freshman DB Kenny Keys and JC transfer defensive lineman Mark Garrick. Also, last year’s starting quarterback Caleb Herring started his fi rst game at WR.

GAME 4

and a score. Freshman Nick Sherry completed 23 of 32 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown, and the Rebels (1-3, 1-0 Mountain West) held off the Falcons in the fi nal seconds at midfi eld. After the Rebels gave up 180 first-quarter rushing yards and trailed 14-7, they outrushed the Falcons 199-172 in the fi nal three quarters. The Rebels trailed 28-17 at halftime before scoring 21 unanswered points on Randle scoring runs of 1 and 9 yards and William Vea’s 7-yard TD reception with 6:56 remaining. Cody Getz rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown for Air Force (1-2, 0-1), and quarterback Connor Dietz ran for 68 yards. He was 3 of 9 for 90 yards passing. The Falcons fi nished with 352 yards rushing. Air Force cut the UNLV lead to 38-35 on a Dietz 3-yard run with 4:41 remaining. The Rebels gambled on their next possession, going for it on fourth and inches on their 34. Sherry fell forward for 3 yards. Air Force got the ball back with 51 seconds left and no timeouts at its 25 and advanced 20 yards before running out of time. In the series, Air Force had won fi ve straight and nine of 10. Randle’s second TD of the night was set up by an Air Force turnover, as Marc Hendricks fumbled after a 26-yard reception at the UNLV 22. Kenny Brown forced the fumble, and Tani Maka recovered it. Cornett’s rush for 76 yards put the ball at the Falcons’ 2, and Bradley cut the Air Force lead to 28-24.

LOGAN, UTAH -- Chuckie Keeton passed for a career-high 402 yards as Utah State defeated UNLV 35-13 on Saturday. The two teams were evenly matched in the fi rst quarter as neither squad was able to light up the scoreboard. For the Aggies, it was the fi rst time this season that they were held scoreless in the opening stanza. Utah State took an early 3-0 lead, but UNLV responded as Nick Sherry found Max Johnson for a 3-yard touchdown.

REBEL NOTESWith host Utah State wearing white as part of its Homecoming White Out promotion, UNLV wore its home red jerseys on the road.The game marked the latest UNLV traveled for its fi rst road game of the season since going to Cal State Fullerton on Sept. 30, 1989.The game marked the fi nal meeting as non-conference opponents as Utah State is set to join the Mountain West in 2013.USU snapped a two-game losing streak to UNLV and took a 13-7 lead in the all-time series.The Rebels faced their former head coach in Logan as Mike Sanford, who led UNLV from 2005-09, is in his fi rst season at USU as assistant head coach and RBs/TEs coach.Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Sonny Sanitoa, who was injured during preseason camp, made his Rebel debut on the opening kickoff return and later entered the game on defense and recorded his first sack in the fourth quarter.With the game at 0-0 after the fi rst quarter, UNLV became the fi rst team this season to hold Utah State scoreless in the fi rst quarter.This game marked the fi rst of 2012 for the Rebels that was not decided by single digits.UNLV’s Nick Sherry hit fullback Max Johnson with a three-yard scoring pass to put the Rebels up 7-3. It was Johnson’s fi rst career score and only his third career reception.Tight end Tyler Bergsten caught his fi rst pass as a Rebel on a defl ected throw in the fi rst series of the third quarter.The two teams combined to go a perfect 7-7 in red-zone chances.

GAME 5

The Aggies came back and scored 17 unanswered points to take a 20-7 lead into halftime. The third quarter was owned by the Rebels as Nolan Kohorst notched two fi eld goals to pull UNLV within seven points. The Rebel defense also held the Aggies scoreless, and has yet to allow any third quarter points this season. The Aggies opened the fourth quarter with a short screen pass to running back Kerwynn Williams, but he turned it into a 74-yard touchdown after breaking a few tackles. Utah State sealed the game with one more touchdown and a safety (the fi rst against UNLV since 2004) before the fi nal gun. Junior running back Bradley Randle paced the Rebels on the ground, rushing for 91. Sherry went 18-for-39 for 188 yards, and was picked off for the sixth time this season. Devante Davis set a career-high with 90 receiving yards on fi ve catches, which matched his career-high. Junior linebacker Tim Hasson led the Rebels with eight tackles on defense. On the Aggies second drive of the second half, junior corner Sidney Hodgerecorded his fi rst career interception. Hodge finished the game with four tackles and a pass breakup to go with his pick.

GAME 6

career touchdown, of the 33-yard variety. Sherry squeezed the pass in between three Bulldogs for the score. The feat was so impressive that it was No. 3 on Sportcenter’s Top Ten plays. The Bulldogs responded, scoring 24 unanswered points, before Sherry found Devante Davis for a 27-yard score. Nolan Kohorst hit a 25-yard fi eld goal before the end of the half to pull the Rebels to within 10 points. The second half opened with UNLV going on a six-play, 67-yard drive that was capped off with a 46-yard touchdown, as Sherry found Marcus Sullivan. But Louisiana Tech answered by scoring 31 unanswered points. The Bulldogs boasted a balanced attack, fi nishing with 306 rushing yards and 316 passing yards. Ray Holley and Kenneth Dixon each fi nished with over 100 yards on the ground, 139 and 102, respectively. UNLV scored the final points, as Sherry found Anthony Williams for a 13-yard touchdown, the fi rst score of Williams’ career. Sherry fi nished with a career-high 378 yards, 186 of which went to Davis, which was also his career-high. Tim Cornett led the Rebels on the ground, picking up his fourth 100-yard performance of the season with 111 yards. Senior Kenny Brown recorded a game-high 11 tackles to lead the Rebels on defense.

LAS VEGAS -- For one half, it looked like the tables had turned in the Battle for the Fremont Cannon, but Nevada, Reno scored 28 unanswered points to win its eighth straight over UNLV. UNLV started strong, going up 21-0 with touchdowns coming from junior Tim Cornett, junior Bradley Randle and freshman Nick Sherry. Each score came on the ground from

REBEL NOTESUNR defeated UNLV for the eighth consecutive time, which is the longest streak in the series’ history. The Wolf Pack and Rebels were playing as conference foes for the fi fth time in history and the fi rst time since 1995.The 31 points scored in the fi rst half marked the most points UNLV has scored vs. UNR in a game since the Rebels won 48-13 in 2004.Tim Cornett’s eight-yard score on UNLV’s opening drive was his fi fth of the season, the 21st overall of his career and also moved him into a tie for sixth all-time at the school with his 18 rushing touchdowns.Cornett fi nished with 129 rushing yards on 20 carries. It marked his fi fth 100-yard game this season and his seventh in the last 10 games. The junior is the fi rst Rebel to record seven century-mark efforts in 10 games or less since Ickey Woods did it in 1987 en route to leading the nation in rushing with 1,658 yards. Cornett’s big day moved him from 10th place all the way up to No. 6 on the UNLV career rushing list with 1,964 yards through 31 games played.Bradley Randle’s 32-yard touchdown run in the fi rst quarter was the longest score of his career. He later added a two-yard TD to give him six this season. His previous season-high was two scores, set in 2011.

GAME 7

eight yards out, 32 yards out and two yards out, respectively. UNR then answered with a short score of its own, as Stefphon Jefferson punched in a 4-yard run. The Rebels responded with a second Randle touchdown, only to be answered by Jefferson on the following drive. UNLV took a 31-14 lead into half when junior Nolan Kohorst hit a 42-yard fi eld goal, his longest of the season. The Wolf Pack came out of the half looking to change the fl ow of the game, and they succeeded as they scored 28 points and didn’t allow the Rebels to continue their fi rst-half pace. UNLV tried to make a remarkable comeback late in the game, as Marcus Sullivan hauled in a 42-yard bomb from Sherry, but after a failed on-side kick, UNR was able to secure the game. Sherry fi nished 21-of-35 for 243 yards and one touchdown. Sullivan finished with fi ve catches for 74 yards and one touchdown. Cornett ran for his eighth career 100-yard game, as he fi nished with 129 yards. Senior linebacker John Lotulelei racked up 19 total tackles, three shy of a UNLV record. The Rebels forced two turnovers, but they weren’t able to turn them into points. They had a chance at a game-changing interception by junior Sidney Hodge in the third quarter, but it was nullifi ed after a controversial defensive pass interference call.

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego State used 100-yard efforts from Adam Muema (143) and Walter Kazee (105) to become bowl eligible in the Aztecs 24-13 win over UNLV on Saturday. The players each had 21 carries and Kazee scored a touchdown. The Rebels took an early lead when junior Tim Cornett found a hole and took what seemed like a simple fi ve-yard run to the house for a 64-yard touchdown. However, junior kicker Nolan Kohorst ended his 62

REBEL NOTES The teams met for the 17th and final time as conference rivals as the Aztecs leave the MW to join the Big East in 2013.SDSU’s win was its sixth in the fi nal seven games between the schools, giving the Aztecs a 13-8 lead in the all-time series, including six straight victories at Qualcomm Stadium.The game marked UNLV’s only appearance on natural grass in 2012.Tim Cornett recorded his sixth 100-yard rushing game of the season, which is the most by a Rebel since Dominique Dorsey had six in 2004. It was also the ninth of his career, which tied him for fi fth in school history. Nolan Kohorst missed the ensuing extra-point attempt, which snapped his streak of 61 made PATs. It was the second-longest string in school history and was only the junior’s second miss of his UNLV career.DB Kenny Brown forced his fourth fumble of the season in the third quarter (recovered by SDSU), which tied him for the fi fth-most (done by many players) in UNLV single-season history.DL Jordan Sparkman recorded his fi rst career QB sack in the third quarter for a loss of 10 yards.

consecutive extra points when he failed to convert the kick, giving the Rebels a 6-0 lead. SDSU responded, scoring the next 21 points. During that stretch, Adam Dingwell threw two touchdowns, a 25-yarder to Gavin Escobar and a 27-yarder to Colin Lockett. Kazee’s score came on a one-yard leap over the line in the second quarter. UNLV brought the game within striking distance when freshman Nick Sherry found sophomore Devante Davis for a 25-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The Aztecs made it a two-score game early in the fourth when Chance Marden hit a 28-yard fi eld goal. UNLV’s final chance came late in the fourth, but a rare offensive pass-interference call away from the ball and a six-yard sack pushed the Rebels out of fi eld goal range. After UNLV’s punt, SDSU held onto the ball for the remaining 6:55. Cornett led UNLV, rushing for 127 yards, his sixth 100-yard rushing performance of the year. Sherry fi nished 17-of-29 for 159 yards and one touchdown. Davis hauled in six passes for 64 yards and one touchdown. Defensively UNLV was paced by freshman safety Kenny Keys, as he fi nished with 11 total tackles. The San Diego native also recorded his fi rst career interception.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Bradley Randle ran for two touchdowns and caught a scoring pass Saturday and UNLV beat New Mexico 35-7. The Rebels (2-8, 2-3 Mountain West) produced their second-biggest offensive effort of the season, tallying 530 yards. Nick Sherry was 17 of 27 for 289 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Randle fi nished with 113 yards on 12 carries, and his only catch of the game was a 17-yard touchdown. Tim Cornett also ran for 107 yards

REBEL NOTESUNLV defeated New Mexico 35-7 to tie the all-time series 10-10 and up the Rebels’ Homecoming record to 23-22. It marked UNLV’s third straight win at Sam Boyd Stadium over the Lobos.The seven points scored by New Mexico were the least by a UNLV opponent under head coach Bobby Hauck and the least overall since the Rebels downed Sacramento State 38-3 on Sept. 5, 2009. It was also the least against a FBS opponent since shutting out Utah 27-0 on Sept. 22, 2007.Sherry moved into eighth place on UNLV’s single-season passing yards list with 2,290 through 10 games.Tim Cornett’s fi rst quarter touchdown run was his seventh of the season and the 20th of his career, which moved into a tie for fourth all-time at UNLV with RB Michael Morton (1978-81) and QB Glenn Carano (1973-76).Randle posted his fi rst 100-yard rushing day as a Rebel, fi nishing with 113 yards on just 12 carries. It meant UNLV had two 100-yard rushers in the same game for the fi rst time since Larry Croom (222) and Joe Haro (126) at Colorado State on Nov. 30, 2002. Randle’s previous career-high was 96 vs. Boise State in 2011.Randle’s three touchdowns (two rushing and one receiving) marked the second time this season that he had three as he rushed in a trio of scores vs. Air Force. It was also his third multiple-TD game of the season as Randle rushed two in vs. UNR.

GAME 10

and a touchdown for UNLV. Sherry’s other TD was a 75-yarder to Devante Davis. New Mexico (4-6, 1-4) was held to just 43 yards passing. The Lobos’ only score came on Carlos Wiggins’ 5-yard run in the third quarter to make it 21-7 Rebels. UNLV was comfortably ahead by halftime, 21-0 -- just the third time this season the Rebels took a lead into the break. UNLV opened the game’s scoring with a nine-play drive that was culminated by a 17-yard run by Cornett, who went untouched around the right side and into the end zone. UNLV was successful on its next possession, at the start of the second quarter, as Sherry ended up connecting on the pass to Randle for a 14-0 lead. After UNLV’s defense stifl ed the Lobos on their next drive, New Mexico punter Ben Skaer buried the Rebels on their own 3-yard line. It wouldn’t matter, though, as Cornett erupted for 62 yards on the fi rst play from scrimmage, putting UNLV on the Lobos’ 35-yard line. Sherry hit Caleb Herring on a 26-yard strike to put the Rebels inside the 10 on the very next play, and immediately after that, Randle burst through the left side of the line for a 9-yard scoring run to give the Rebels their three-touchdown cushion. Cornett became the third Rebel to post seven 100-yard rushing games in a single season, the fi rst running back to do so since Ickey Woods in 1987. He also moved into a tie for fourth place on UNLV’s career list for rushing touchdowns, with 20.

The Rams would add a Jared Roberts field goal to go up 24-0 at half. They extended their lead when Roberts hit a 32-yard field goal in the third quarter.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Following a career-performance last week, Wyoming’s Brett Smith bested that by torching the UNLV secondary, completing 25 of 33 passes for 412 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Cowboys to a 28-23 win on Saturday. Wyoming (4-7 overall, 3-4 Mountain West) has won three straight games after losing its previous four, while UNLV (2-10, 2-5) lost its second straight. The Cowboys did much of their work and all of its scoring in the fi rst half, outgaining its host

REBEL NOTESWyoming’s 28-23 victory give the Cowboys an 11-10 all-time lead vs. the Rebels as they became the visiting team to win in this series since 2006.A class of 15 seniors was honored before the game, which closed UNLV’s 2012 home record at 2-5.UNLV started junior Caleb Herring at quarterback in place of freshman Nick Sherry, who started the previous 11 games but was injured last week at Colorado State. Herring, who had seen nearly all of his playing time at receiver this season, started under center for the fi rst time since Game 11 of 2011 and for the ninth time of his career.UNLV’s Tim Hasson blocked a fi eld goal in the first quarter that was picked up by Sidney Hodge and returned for a game-tying touchdown. It marked the fi rst time in school history that UNLV returned a blocked field goal for a TD.Herring ended up throwing for a career-high 268 yards on 22-of-36 pass attempts and two touchdowns.Senior WR Trey Mays tied his career high for receptions for a game in just the fi rst quarter, catching three passes for 35 yards. He fi nished with fi ve grabs for 62 yards and his fi rst career touchdown reception, which came in the fourth quarter and accounted for the only points in the second half.The two teams each ended up with 22 fi rst downs after Wyoming led that stat at halftime 18-10. UNLV also out-gained the Cowboys 244-126 in the second half as WYO did not score after the second quarter.

GAME 12

381-182. Smith threw for 347 yards in the fi rst half, as the Cowboys opened up a 28-17 lead at the break. The Rebels appeared ready to steal momentum late in the third quarter, as quarterback Caleb Herring scrambled into the end zone on a fake fi eld-goal attempt. An offi cial review revealed Herring had fumbled the ball at the 1-yard line before he and the ball tumbled into the end zone. Ruled a touchback since the ball went out of the back of the end zone, Wyoming took over on its 20. Herring was starting in place of freshman Nick Sherry, who was ruled out with a back injury before the game. The junior signal-caller fi nished with 268 yards on 22 of 26 pass attempts and two touchdowns. UNLV made it interesting late in the fourth quarter, driving 80 yards in 15 plays over 5:33, as Herring connected with Trey Mays on a 5-yard touchdown strike to close the gap to 28-23. The two-point conversion failed. The Rebels held Wyoming on its next drive to a three-and-out, as Smith was sacked on fi rst down and threw incomplete passes on second and third down. UNLV took over with 3:42 left in the game from its 21, and got into Cowboys’ territory thanks to 25- and 22-yard passes from Herring to Devante Davis during the drive. But with about 1:30 remaining, Herring’s attempt to Mays was broken up on the home sidelines, where replays revealed what might have been pass interference. UNLV outgained the Cowboys 244-126 in the second half.
