2012 SEASON OUTLOOK YOUTHFUL REBELS LOOKING TO AGE WELL
B
obby Hauck is tired of talking about how young his Rebel football team will be this season. You certainly can’t blame the third-year head coach for lacking enthusiasm for rehashing the sorely needed roster-building that is still in full swing at the Lied Athletic Complex. However, these stark numbers will dominate the headlines in 2012 preparations: UNLV Has Just Two Senior Returning Starters and a Total of 11 Scholarship Seniors. Want more? Only six of the 44 spots on the team’s post-spring twodeep are filled by seniors who have played at least one down for the Rebels and reaching the 85-scholarship limit for the first time since the John Robinson era is still another year away for the progam. Still, such realities are the only things the coach is lacking enthusiasm about regarding Rebel football. “We are a better-looking team in our uniforms but the depth chart shows the youth, thus we’ve got to keep developing our underclassmen and leadership within the group,” say Hauck. “It’s obvious that our offseason and strength program are beginning to pay off. Instead of spending entire practices coaching effort and intensity, we are now able to spend more time on technique and scheme.” Make no mistake, with this staff’s first two recruiting classes now taking center stage, the pieces of the pigskin puzzle are indeed falling into place for a program that has not posted a winning record in a dozen years. “This is a process and we’re right where we need to be in this stage of our program’s development in terms of building a consistent, winning football team that does things right during Saturdays in the fall and every other day during the year,” says Hauck. “Yes, we’re still young, but when people see how we play and the improvements we’re making, they’ll be excited about the future of our program. I think this team will be fun to watch. Rebel fans will be proud of the way their team competes.”
of our quarterbacks,” says Hauck. “I think everybody in our quarterback meeting room, our locker room and our staff room understands that we need to have solid play from that position to progress. We ran the ball very successfully a year ago. In order to continue to develop our offense, we need to repeat that as a strength of our team this year. If we can couple that with completing some throws down field, we will be able to increase our production on offense. “We have a good nucleus of young talent on that side of the football, the vast majority of which will be here for several years. All of the people we’re counting on are good young prospects. We have just a few fourthor fifth-year players. The variable continues to be time.”
THE OFFENSE HAUCK
HERRING A new play-caller is in place for the Rebels in 2012 as tight ends coach Brent Myers was elevated by Hauck to offensive coordinator during the offseason after having been an OC during previous stops at Boise State and NAU. With an impressive rushing attack coming back, it’s not hard to identify the key to improvement in moving the ball. The Rebels will need to throw the ball more effectively. “Our success hinges around the progression
QUARTERBACKS
All four of last year’s quarterbacks are back in 2012, though one – prized recruit Nick Sherry (6-5, 240, FR-RS) – redshirted, and another – Taylor Barnhill – headed over to defense to play linebacker during the spring after making two starts under center a year ago. Veteran Caleb Herring (6-3, 200, JR-2L), who added about 10 pounds to his frame in the off-season, has 18 career appearances under his belt but only two victories from eight starts to his credit. He paced the squad with 1,004 yards passing, which was the lowest total to lead the team since 1998. He tossed eight touchdowns to go with six interceptions while completing 55-percent of his passes. Former junior college transfer Sean Reilly (6-4, 210, SR-1L) appeared in seven games, starting two, while throwing for 186 yards, three picks and one score. The only new face in the group this spring was former USC signee James Boyd (6-5, 255, JR-TR), who is trying his hand at quarterback after transferring in from West Los Angeles College. Hauck listed the position alphabetically on the depth chart and the decision on a starter figures to push well into fall camp.
2012 SEASON OUTLOOK HAUCK SAYS: “We have a good quarterback competition going on. What our team needs is for someone to emerge from that pack and take control of the offense. We have to be assured as a football team that the guy playing quarterback can make plays in game situations. Nick Sherry looks the part. He’s got a big arm. He’s accurate down the field, which is exciting. However, his grasp of the entire offense is something that needs to be refined. Sean and Caleb, with more experience, have the upper hand coming out of spring ball.”
RUNNING BACKS
Six-game starter Tim Cornett (6-0, 205, JR-2L) is the clear leader at tailback after running for 671 yards and seven TDs. The tough, speedy Texan had two long touchdowns as a sophomore, one on an 80-yard rush vs. Hawai’i and another on a 95-yard kickoff return at Washington State. Now he’s primed to become the first player to lead the team in rushing for three consecutive seasons since Michael Morton in 1979-81. Fellow junior Bradley Randle (5-7, 190, JR-2L) started two games and looks to continue providing his powerful burst as he ran for a careerhigh 489 yards and two scores last fall. He led the team in rushing in three games, including rolling up 96 yards on just 10 carries vs. Boise State. Veteran Imari Thompson (5-9, 215, SR-2L) has only five career carries but figures to take a bigger role as long as he remains healthy. Also, former junior college speedster Eric Johnson (5-7, 190, SR-TR) showed this spring that he can play in both the slot and backfield. This position looked to be the deepest on the team with everyone back in 2012 before the unexpected spring departure from the program by sophomore-to-be Dionza Bradford, who rushed for 615 yards and three TDs as a rookie.
WIDE RECEIVERS
No area of the team is younger at the top than this one as the twodeep lists three sophomores and a redshirt freshman at the two receiver spots. In fact, you’d have to go nine names deep in last year’s catch statistics to find someone coming back to line up as a WR in 2012. That doesn’t mean, however, that the staff isn’t high on the position. Marcus Sullivan (5-9, 195, SO-1L) redshirted a year ago but can be a main cog in the passing game with the speed he showed off in 2010. Devante Davis (6-3, 200, SO-1L) had four receptions for 42 yards as a rookie and offers great size. Redshirt returnee Marquis Thompson (510, 175, FR-RS) is ready to display his speed after flashing it on the scout team a year ago while local product Taylor Spencer (6-1, 210, SO-1L) will have an opportunity to make in impact in his third year. Kurt Davis (6-5, 220, JR-2L), Trey Mays (5-10, 175, SR-2L) and the aforementioned Eric Johnson are also in the mix.
HAUCK SAYS: “Our leading rusher the past two seasons, Tim Cornett, is back for his junior year and sits atop the depth chart. Plus, we have numerous players who can fill in at that position. Bradley Randle is a tough capable guy. Imari Thompson brings us some size and there is a chance that Eric Johnson can add some spark there.” SULLIVAN
HAUCK SAYS: “It looks like we will have some speed and athleticism at wideout this year. It will be nice to have some players that are good with the football, can stretch the field and can turn short throws into big gains. One thing I’ve enjoyed seeing from this group is that they are fearless going inside to get the ball between the hashes and they are avid participants in the run game. Even though this group lacks experience, it could be a strength for our offense.”
TIGHT ENDS/FULLBACKS
A year ago Rebel tight ends caught a total of 25 passes and one score. Expect those numbers to change after a changing of the guard. With last year’s tight ends now graduated, a trio of Hauck recruits suited up at the spot during spring practice and showed onlookers why the position looks to have a bigger role moving forward. Redshirt Jake Phillips (6-6, 245, FR-RS) is listed first on the depth and is followed closely by grayshirt Nick Gstrein (6-4, 275, FR-HS) and another redshirt, Tyler Bergsten (6-4, 240, FR-RS), who may see time at fullback. Converted linebacker William Vea (6-0, 230, SO-1L) is the leader at FB while a pair of walk-ons, Darius Andres (5-10, 215, FR-RS) and Max Johnson (6-1, 235, JR-2L) will add depth. CORNETT
HAUCK SAYS: “All of our tight ends are freshmen but all three of them showed great progress in the spring. At fullback, we’ve got three guys that give us some depth at a position that we want to utilize in our offense.”
2012 SEASON OUTLOOK OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
The old men of the team reside here as the front five all return and even boast a couple of those elusive seniors. A year after blocking the way for an emerging running attack that produced six 100-yard individual efforts and the best pergame average (164.1) since 2004, this unit could also end up being home to multiple honors candidates. Big Canadian Brett Boyko (6-7, 310, SO1L) started all 12 games at left tackle and earned BOYKO second team Freshman All-America honors while right tackle Yusef Rodgers (6-2, 260, SR-3L) is relatively fleet of foot over on the right side. Returnee Brad Overand (6-6, 280, JR-1L) and redshirt rookie Andrew Oberg (6-7, 280, FR-RS) are the next wave of tackles. Wily veteran Doug Zismann (6-3, 300, SR-3L) is penciled in at right guard while Cameron Jefferson (6-6, 300, SO-1L) emerged as the starter on the left. Redshirt Nick White (6-5, 305, FR-RS) and former JC transfer Allen Carroll (6-4, 320, SR-TR) will push for time in the rotation. Robert Waterman (6-2, 275, SO-1L) took over the center spot and went on to start every game in the middle, not allowing a sack in Mountain West play to cap his impressive freshman campaign. Brian Roth (6-5, 300, SO-1L) is listed at No. 2 in the middle. HAUCK SAYS: “The O-line is the most veteran group on the field for us at any position because we have two senior starters. We expect them to lead the team. Certainly having the three guys who started as freshmen last year being sophomores, gives us experience, which is relative term around here. I like this group and I think that we’ll be able to run the football and thus be a factor in games.”
THE DEFENSE The defensive side will also see some changes on the sidelines as third-year DB coach J.D. Williams was elevated to coordinator while the staff’s only new face, Tim Hundley, came over from UCLA to oversee the Rebel inside linebackers. The maneuvering is part of an on-going process to put a defensive group together that will help keep the team in games every time the Rebels take the field. “What we said from day one here was that we have to develop a defensive mindset in our program,” says Hauck. “We have to be aggressive. We have to tackle well and we have to continue to recruit defensive players. The good news is that we are finally starting to balance out our depth chart in the various positions. Our defense must be physical and play with attitude.”
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN
Lots still to be decided here but it seems like there will be a bigger pool of talent this fall. The four defensive ends emerging through spring were Desmond Tautofi (6-3, 300, SO-1L; 11 TT, 2 TFL), converted tight end Jordan Sparkman (6-6, 250, SO-1L; 5 TT), redshirt Samoan Sonny Sanitoa (6-3, 235, FR-RS) and midyear JC signee Parker Holloway (6-4, 240, JR-TR) out of Texas. The middle features some familiar faces as Alex Klorman (62, 270, JR-2L; 21 TT, 1 SCK), Nate Holloway (6-3, 360, JR-2L; 13 TT, 3.5 TFL) and Tyler Gaston (6-3, 290, JR2L; 21 TT; 2 SCK) are joined by senior Trent Allmang-Wilder (6-6, 290, SR-1L; 19 TT, 1.5 TFL). HAUCK SAYS: “Trying to predict how our defensive line will play is N.PAULO HOLLOWAY a big projection. They need to come through and I think they could be a strength. However, there is a lot of work to be done between now and August 30 for them to be ready to match up with a Big Ten football team.”
LINEBACKERS
WATERMAN
The squad’s leading returning tackler could also be its most talented in 2012 as former JC transfer John Lotulelei (6-0, 235, SR-1L) looks for a big senior season after taking over a starting spot late in the year and finishing with 60 total tackles and 3 TFL. He’s listed No. 1 on the weakside while veteran Tani Maka (6-1, 240, JR-2L; 54 TT), who tied for the team lead with two interceptions, is the leader at the middle position. The strongside features a battle between Las Vegas native Tim Hasson (6-2, 215, JR-2L; 46 TT, 1 TFL), who took over as a starter halfway
2012 SEASON OUTLOOK through his sophomore season, and high-energy defender Princeton Jackson (6-0, 210, SR-1L; 39 TT, 2 SCK), who is a former first team JC All-American out of Blinn College. Las Vegan Eric Tuiloma-Va’a (6-0, 200, JR-2L) and converted QB Taylor Barnhill (6-4, 240, SO-1L) round out the spring two-deep.
UNLV was a force in the kickoff return game, ranking 24th in the nation in average and taking two back for touchdowns. Punt returns, however, were a different story as the team averaged under five yards an attempt. There are plenty of candidates to handle both areas but any decisions will have to wait for fall camp.
HAUCK SAYS: “Like our offensive line, the linebackers are a veteran group with a senior and two juniors challenging to be starters. We need this group to be highly productive and lead the way for our defense.”
HAUCK SAYS: “We get both our kicker and punter back. They both desire to be the guy who plays both positions so there is a good competition going there. Kickoff return has been a strength for us. Punt return has not been good enough but we should now have the ability to get the ball in the hands of some good ball-carriers who can take care of the ball, be fearless and make some big plays.”
DEFENSIVE BACKS
There is just one returning starter in the Rebel secondary this season as the cornerbacks are led by potential honors candidate Sidney Hodge (5-8, 175, JR-2L; 53 TT, 8 PBU) out of Las Vegas, who tied for fourth in the nation a year ago with four fumble recoveries. Kenneth Penny (5-11, 170, SO-1L; 9 TT) is listed atop the other CB spot while Ken Spigner (5-10, 185, JR-1L; 13 TT, 1 TFL) and nicesized redshirt Fred Wilson (6-0, 175, FR-RS) will vie for time. Strong safety feaHODGE tures Tajh Hasson (61, 190, SO-1L; 17 TT, 1 FR) and Kenny Brown (5-10, 175, SR-2L; 11 TT). Promising redshirt Peni Vea (6-1, 195, FR-RS) is the leader at free safety while former Minnesota signee Dre Crawford (6-0, 185, SR-TR) will have just one season to make his mark as a Rebel. HAUCK SAYS: “The secondary is a real unknown. The only player with substantial playing experience is Sidney Hodge at cornerback. We need to lean on him to shut down his side of the field. Beyond him it looks like it will be up to some younger players to carry the load in the defensive backfield.”
THE SPECIAL TEAMS The team will enjoy the return of both its starting place-kicker and punter. Las Vegan Nolan Kohorst (6-0, 175, JR-2L) came on strong late to finish 9-of-14 in his field-goal attempts while nailing all 24 of his extrapoint attempts en route to leading the team in scoring with 51 points. Former JC transfer Chase Lansford (6-2, 195, SR-1L) provided a big upgrade at the punter position, finishing ranked 48th nationally with an average of 41.2 yards per attempt. The son of former NFL kicker Mike Lansford also split time with Kohorst kicking off for the Rebels.
THE SCHEDULE UNLV’s 13-game schedule, which will be played without a bye week, will see the Rebels open with four straight home dates for the first time since 1973 when they were a Division II school. The 45th season of football at the school kicks off Thursday Aug. 30 with the first appearance in Las Vegas by Minnesota. The Golden Gophers will be only the third Big Ten Conference team to ever play in Las Vegas, following a 2001 visit from Northwestern and five trips to Sam Boyd Stadium by Wisconsin, the last of which came in 2010. On Sept. 8, UNLV hosts Big Sky Conference member Northern Arizona for the first time since 1992. Overall, the two programs, which are located just 250 miles apart, have met seven times with the Rebels holding a 5-2 lead in the series. All but the most recent game took place during the 1970s. After the Lumberjacks play here, Pac-12 Conference member Washington State returns last year’s game by making its second-ever Las Vegas appearance and first since 1991 on Sept. 15. The Rebels open Mountain West play the following Saturday by hosting Air Force on Sept. 22. The next week will mark a stretch of four away games in five weeks for the team, starting with a trip to Utah State on Sept. 29 for the first meeting with the Aggies since 2008. A week later, UNLV begins a home-and-home series vs. defending WAC champion Louisiana Tech in Ruston on Oct. 6. The Rebels and Bulldogs have met only twice before when UNLV swept a two-game series in 1993-94. The 38th edition of the Battle for the Fremont Cannon will be waged when the Rebels host Nevada, Reno on Oct. 13. With the Wolf Pack joining the Mountain West in 2012, it will mark only the fifth time the two state rivals will meet as part of league play and first time since 1995 when both were members of the Big West Conference. An Oct. 20 game at Boise State will be UNLV’s first trip to play the Broncos since 1977. That will be followed by a game at San Diego State on Oct. 27 that will see the Rebels play the Aztecs before the month of November for the first time since 2005. UNLV returns home to host New Mexico on Nov. 3, plays at Colorado State on Nov. 10 and closes out its home schedule with a visit from Wyoming on Nov. 17. The regular season closes on Nov. 24 with a trip to play another first-year Mountain West member, Hawai’i. HAUCK SAYS: “I like the early games we have scheduled at home but it does lead to playing on the road four out of five weeks. The middle of our schedule features a tough stretch against six straight opponents that played in bowl games last year but we’re determined to work hard at making this a season our team and fans can enjoy and be proud of.”
HEAD COACH BOBBY HAUCK 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 the toughest schedule in its history in 2010, including taking on five conference champions and three opponents that finished ranked in the top 11 of the final AP poll. His first Rebel team emerged from that gauntlet with a 2-11 overall record but tied for sixth place in the Mountain West. Last fall’s squad also finished sixth after a 2-10 campaign. Hauck 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, 47, 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 final UM team in 2009 team finished 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 program, 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 Pacific-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 considered 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 field at the University of Montana. His first 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 children: 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 currently coaching for the Cleveland Browns.

REBEL NOTES & NUMBERS canadian import=all-american
Big Brett Boyko, a Canadian import who never even played his position before he signed with the UNLV football team, was named a Second Team Freshman All-American offensive lineman by Phil Steele’s in 2011. He also earned Honorable Mention Freshman All-America from College Football News and Honorable Mention All-Mountain West from the conference. Boyko (6-7, 310) redshirted the 2010 season a year after finishing a high school career in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, that saw him play quarterback and defensive line for St. Joseph High School. Last fall, he saw his first collegiate action by starting at the key left tackle spot on the road vs.10th-ranked Wisconsin. Boyko, who was one of three freshman offensive linemen to start for UNLV in 2011, ended up starting all 12 games and helped the offense rush for 164.1 yards a game, which was the best mark for the program since 2004. Rebel running backs turned in a total of six 100-yard rushing efforts and two backs finished with more than 600 yards each. SCHOOL 1. Wyoming 2. Air Force 3. Colorado 4. Colorado State 5.

UNLV ON TO THE 2013 UP AND UP 2013 Eight FBS programs are located in cities with an elevation of at least 2012 4,500 feet above sea level and 2013 the Rebels regularly play at five of them, including two next season. 2012 Las Vegas is just over 2,000 feet 2013 above sea level.
TIMMY TOUCHDOWN After just 24 games played, running back Tim Cornett already has 16 career touchdowns (13 rushing, 2 receiving and 1 kickoff return) and is the first Rebel to have scored on the ground, through the air and on a return during his career since future NFL receiver Henry Bailey, who played from 1991-94 and finished with 29 total scores (not including four that came in a bowl game) coming four different ways: 24 receiving, 3 rushing, 1 KOR and 1 PR. The tough Texan, who will be a junior in 2012, is just six scores away from breaking into UNLV’s top five all-time. Cornett’s 80-yard touchdown run last year vs. Hawai’i marked the longest rush by a UNLV player since Darin Brightmon went 89 yards vs. New Mexico State in 1989. It tied for the eighth-longest rush in school history and came just one week after he went 95 yards on a kickoff return for a TD at Washington State. As a sophomore, Cornett was among 50 football student-athletes that comprised the Watch List for the Paul Hornung Award, which is given annually to the most versatile player in college football.
With UNLV’s season-opening game vs. Minnesota moving to a Thursday (Aug. 30), the Rebels will play their 13th Thursday game in history. The program boasts an 8-4 record on Thursdays (including one bowl game) and an impressive overall non-Saturday record of 14-7-1. The Golden Gophers will be only the third Big Ten Conference team to ever play in Las Vegas, following a 2001 visit from Northwestern and five trips to Sam Boyd Stadium by Wisconsin, the last of which came in 2010. The only other time the Rebels opened their season on a Thursday in Las Vegas was Sept. 2, 1982, vs. BYU. Rebel Football will be well represented at the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame ceremonies on Oct. 12. Being inducted the night before the Battle for the Fremon Cannon vs. UNR is the famed 1984 squad that went undefeated in conference play and won the California Bowl over Toledo and featured players such as QB/P Randall Cunningham and RB Ickey Woods and was coached by Harvery Hyde. Also going in is arguably the top cornerback in school history, Kevin Thomas. Best remembered for his part in the most famous play in school history when he returned a fumble 100 yards for a game-winning touchdown with no time on the clock at Baylor in 1999, KT started all 46 games during an All-America career that included setting the school and conference record for interceptions in a season with seven in 2001. He went on to play four seasons with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills. Even with its primary returner -- Marcus Sullivan -- redshirting instead of running down field last season, the UNLV kickoff return game shot up the charts in 2011, finishing 24th in the nation with a team average of 23.7 yards per attempt. Senior Deante’ Purvis had the third-best return average in the MW at 24.4 yards per attempt and became both UNLV’s and the league’s all-time leader in both returns and return yardage. UNLV took two KORs back for TDs in 2011: Purvis had a 98-yarder vs. CSU and RB Tim Cornett took one back 95 yards at Washington State. Another young RB, Bradley Randle, ranked 10th in the MW with an average of 20.3. In 2010, Sullivan finished second in the league and ranked 17th in the nation at 27.9, posting at least one return over 36 yards in six of the last eight games while shattering the UNLV record for kickoff return yards in a game with 224 vs. San Diego State. Nearly 30 percent of UNLV’s 2011 opening-day roster (29 of 100 players) were products of Nevada high schools, which was the most for the program since moving up to NCAA Division I in 1978. Only the 1970 (37) and 1976 (31) teams ever had more Silver Staters on the roster. UNLV started three different quarterbacks last season for the first time since 1998 (Kevin Crook, Chris Hayward and Chad Reed). When Caleb Herring took the opening snap at Wisconsin on Sept. 1, he not only made his first collegiate start, but he also became the seventh different opening-day starter for the Rebels in the last eight years. Herring started the first five games before Sean Reilly, who signed out of Saddleback College at midyear, started two straight. Herring returned to start the Boise State game but was knocked out late against the Broncos. That led to redshirt freshman Taylor Barnhill making his first career start at New Mexico. Herring started games 10 and 11 before Barnhill went the entire way in the season finale at TCU. The third year of the Hauck era brings only one new face to the coaching staff as veteran mentor Tim Hundley took over as inside linebackers coach just before spring practice opened. He replaced Robin Ross, who left for a similar position at Wyoming. The team will also have new coordinators on both sides of the ball as during the off-season, tight ends coach Brent Myers was elevated to Offensive Coordinator and seconday coach J.D. Williams was elevated to Defensive Coordinator.

2012 UNLV SIGNEES HIGH SCHOOLERS DOMINATE HAUCK’S THIRD CLASS
LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) -- Head coach Bobby Hauck’s third recruiting class at UNLV is made up of primarily high school players as a list of 20 future Rebels was announced during the initial day of the national signing period on Feb. 1. “Like many coaches in the country today, we are excited to finally sign the 2012 recruiting class,” Hauck said. “This is a physically gifted group of young men. I have no idea what any of the recruiting services rank any one of these players, as the only evaluation we care about is ours. We think these guys are tremendously talented and they’re all winners on and off the field.” The group boasted nine players that were assigned at least three stars by either Scout.com, Rivals.com or ESPNU, which was just one behind the school record set in 2010. The recruits list, which did not include five grayshirts who signed a year ago but joined the program this semester as true freshmen, featured 18 high school players and two junior-college players, just one year after inking a class that included eight JC signees. “We want to build this program primarily around high school student-athletes for a multitude of reasons. One of those is because we believe it adds stability and long-term opportunity for success. We also see the academic success rate of high school athletes being substantially higher. That being said, we’re not opposed to junior-college transfers and we are excited about the two young men who signed with us. We feel that JC guys that come in at midyear have a much better opportunity for success.” The group consists of student-athletes whose hometowns are spread among six states and one Canadian province: 10 from California, three from Nevada, three from Texas and one each from Arizona, Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. “We’ve always said that we’ll go wherever we need to go to put together a good class and this year we had good luck not only in Nevada, Texas and California, but the Northwest was good to us as well. We took three players out of the Northwest that we consider to be top-notch prospects. We feel like we stole those three and we’re proud of those guys for sticking with us. On the local front, I’m happy to say that nearly 40 percent of all Division I signees in Las Vegas signed with the Rebels.” The class is evenly split with nine offensive players, eight on defense and one listed as an athlete. The full breakdown is as follows: 5 DL, 4 OL, 3 DB, 2 TE, 2 QB, 2 WR, 1 LB and 1 ATH.

BADGERS CRUISE BY REBELS MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Bobby Hauck figured UNLV wasn’t ready for a major upset like the Rebels pulled in 2003 against Wisconsin. Still, he was satisfied with how his team rebounded after taking a first-half flurry in UNLV’s 51-17 loss to No. 11 Wisconsin on Thursday night. UNLV showed some of the same jitters that coach Hauck’s squads have struggled with. New starting quarterback Caleb Herring was a notable exception with two second-half touchdown passes that cut the lead to 51-17 in the fourth. He kept plays alive with his feet and showed poise under UNLV WISCONSIN

relentless pressure, but didn’t have many options and finished 18 of 27 for 146 yards. UNLV failed to convert its first nine third-down conversions, and one second-quarter sequence highlighted the Rebels’ struggles. Wide receiver Phillip Payne committed a 15-yard personal foul for a late hit, center Robert Waterman snapped the ball over Herring’s head for an 8-yard loss, Payne dropped a pass with no defender nearby and Nolan Kohorst pulled a 52-yard field goal wide left. Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in his Wisconsin debut and Montee Ball scored four times for the Badgers, who built a 51-3 lead. All the attention was on Wilson, the North Carolina State transfer who is using his last year of eligibility at Wisconsin in hopes of getting the Badgers back to the Rose Bowl or better. UNLV (0-1) had some good moments. Herring’s two second-half touchdown passes forced the Badgers to send most of their first-team defense back on the field in the fourth quarter. In some ways it was a typical Wisconsin opener. The Badgers scored on their first drive of the season for the sixth straight year. In some ways, it was very different: the temperature at kickoff was 90 degrees. Wisconsin (1-0) made it 13-0 when Ball took a handoff, busted through two arm tackles and highstepped to avoid Quinton Pointer’s desperation dive for a 22-yard touchdown. It was 20-0 when Wilson found top target Nick Toon for completions of 39 and 15 yards before James White punched it into the end zone from a yard out. Ball, who finished with 63 yards rushing, also scored on a pair of 1-yard runs, making it 51-3 midway through the third quarter. Kohorst hit a 37-yard field goal, but Wilson dropped back to pass on the next possession, broke to the right and saw no pursuit behind him for his 46-yard TD scamper as the Badgers led 37-3 at halftime after a field goal. Wilson finished 10 of 13 for 255 yards.
REBEL NOTES
Phillip Payne’s touchdown reception in the third quarter gave the senior 20 scores for his career, which moved him into third place on the school’s all-time list for TD catches. Junior college transfer punter/kicker Chase Lansford had a big debut for the Rebels, hitting a 56-yard punt on his first attempt and finishing averaging 44.4 yards on five attempts. UNLV has played Wisconsin more times (10) than any other BCS Auto-Bid Conference team but the 2011 game was the last one scheduled in the series for the time being. The Rebels appeared on ESPN for the first time since opening the 2004 season at Tennessee. The high-flying Badgers only had one more total first down in the game than the Rebels. Another JC transfer, LB Princeton Jackson, had five TT and his team’s only QB sack in his debut off the bench. The Rebels appeared in 3D for the first time as ESPN also showed the game on its ESPN 3D channel.
COUGARS ROLL TO WIN PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Marshall Lobbestael threw for career highs of 361 yards and five touchdowns as Washington State pounded UNLV 59-7 Saturday. Washington State (2-0) scored touchdowns on its first five possessions and held a 35-0 lead at halftime to win its first two games of the season for the first time since 2005. This is also its first two-game winning streak under Paul Wulff, who is in his fourth season as coach. Lobbestael, who took over as starter after Jeff Tuel suffered a fractured collarbone last week, completed 24 of 32 passes. The fifth-year senior was not intercepted. UNLV (0-2) was scoreless until Tim Cornett’s UNLV WSU

95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The Rebels gained just 158 yards and could not stop the WSU offense, which produced 610 yards. Backup quarterback Connor Halliday threw a pair of late touchdown passes for WSU, giving them seven for the game. UNLV was coming off a 51-17 loss at No. 8 Wisconsin and is trying to rebuild under secondyear coach Bobby Hauck. Quarterback Caleb Herring completed just 11-of-20 passes for 60 yards. Marquess Wilson caught five passes for 102 yards and a touchdown for WSU. Jared Karstetter had six receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns. This one was over early, as Rickey Galvin ran 48 yards for a touchdown on WSU’s opening drive. Galvin finished with 80 yards on five carries. On WSU’s second possession, Karstetter caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Lobbestael to cap a 74-yard drive for a 14-0 Cougars’ lead. On WSU’s third possession, Lobbestael completed passes of 22 and 37 yards to Wilson, then hit a diving Karstetter for a 19-yard touchdown strike in the end zone. At that point Lobbestael had completed nine of his first 10 passes for 145 yards. The Rebels, meanwhile, managed only 41 yards in the first quarter and their first three drives ended in punts. Lobbestael led the Cougars’ on an 80-yard drive on their fourth possession, and threaded the ball through a pair of defenders to hit Isiah Barton in the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown pass. Just over 3 minutes later, Lobbestael hit tight end Andrei Lintz on a 23-yard touchdown pass to close first half scoring. Lobbestael completed 18 of 21 passes for 274 yards in the first half, and WSU had 372 total yards in the first half while holding UNLV to 95 yards. In the third quarter, Andrew Furney kicked a 46-yard field goal and Lobbestael threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Wilson for a 45-0 lead. Lobbestael, who led WSU to a 64-21 win last weekend against Idaho State, had thrown for only seven touchdowns in his previous three years as a WSU player. This is the first meeting between the two programs since 1991, and WSU has won all five times they have played.
REBEL NOTES
UNLV fell to 0-5 all-time vs. Washington State and 6-25 vs. teams currently making up the Pac-12 Conference.

UNLV fell to 0-2 all-time in Pullman as two of the previous meetings took place in Spokane. The Cougars will return the game by coming to Las Vegas on Sept. 15, 2012. The two head coaches faced each other for the sixth time as Bobby Hauck’s Montana Grizzlies went 4-1 vs. Paul Wulff’s Eastern Washington Eagles from 2003-07. Redshirt freshman LB Perry Cooper made his Rebel debut playing on special teams. Tim Cornett’s 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown went down as the third-longest return in UNLV history and longest since 1999. The Rebels blocked a WSU field goal attempt in the fourth quarter.

REBELS DOMINATE IN HOME OPENER LAS VEGAS - Caleb Herring connected on a pair of touchdowns passes to Phillip Payne and the UNLV defense stymied the Hawai’i offense in a thrilling 40-20 win in the 2011 home opener at Sam Boyd Stadium Saturday night. The Rebels forced four fumbles on the night, resulting in 13 points en route to a spectacular defenseive performance. After opening the game with a three and out, UNLV punted and took advantage of the first Hawai’i miscue of the night, recovering a fumble at the 45 yard line. Nine plays later the Rebels got on the board with a 40-yard field goal by Nolan Kohorst. Those points HAWAI’I UNLV

marked the first time in the Bobby Hauck era that the Rebels had struck first in a game. Following a Hawai’i punt, the Rebels took over on their own 20 with just over two minutes to go in the opening quarter. Tim Cornett needed just one carry to extend the Rebel lead to 10-0, breaking off an 80-yard touchdown run down the sideline. Cornett finished the game with 106 yards and two touchdowns, marking his first 100-yard effort in Rebel Red. Herring found Payne from six yards out to make it 17-0. The catch capped a 10-play, 71-yard drive for UNLV. The Warriors cut the lead to 17-7 after Bryant Moniz found Justin Clapp from 10 yards out with 6:11 remaining in the first half. Hawai’i fumbled the second half kick, allowing the Rebels to set up shop on the Warriors 33 yard line. One play and a ridiculous catch in traffic by Payne quickly made it 24-7 in favor of UNLV. Payne, who moved second-place on the all-time touchdown receptions list and 10th on the all-time receiving yards list finished the night with seven catches for 98 yards. The Warriors’ third fumble of the night led way to Kohorst’s second field goal of the game, a 50-yarder, bringing the score to 27-7. Clapp caught his second touchdown of the night to bring the score to 27-14, but the Rebels responded with an 11-play, 80-yard drive with Cornett taking it in from a yard out to push the lead to 33-14. The Rebels final score of the night - a oneyard run by Bradley Randle - put the game out of reach at 40-14 with just over five minutes to go in the fourth. Hawai’i would add a late touchdown to bring the final count to 40-20. Defensively, the Rebels were led by Sidney Hodge, who totaled six tackles and a fumble recovery. Will Chandler had two tackles, a sack and a forced fumble on the night.
REBEL NOTES
The Rebels snapped a five-game losing streak overall and improved to 28-16 all-time in season home openers, including taking three of their last four such games. Sophomore Caleb Herring earned his first career victory as a starting quarterback at UNLV after completing 17 of 29 attempts for 178 yards and two TDs. UNLV junior-college transfer Sean Reilly also saw his first time at QB for the Rebels and completed his only attempted pass for one yard. Tim Cornett’s 80-yard touchdown run in the first quarter marked the longest rush by a UNLV player since Darin Brightmon went 89 yards vs. New Mexico State on Sept. 23, 1989. It tied for the eighth-longest rush in school history. It also came one week after the sophomore went 95 yards on a kickoff return for a TD at Washington State. UNLV senior WR Phillip Payne caught seven passes for 98 yards and two scores. His two touchdowns gave him 22 in his career, which is second all-time at the school behind only Henry Bailey, who had 24 from 1991-94. Payne’s career receiving yards total improved to 1,916, which ranks 10th all-time at the school. Cornett finished with 106 yards on just 11 carries to give the sophomore his first career 100-yard game. He also caught three passes for 22 yards.
UNLV THROWS ONE AWAY LAS VEGAS - Starting quarterback Caleb Herring threw three internceptions that were returned for touchdowns as UNLV dropped a game to an NCAA FCS team for the first time since 1994, falling to Southern Utah, 41-16 Saturday night at Sam Boyd Stadium. The Rebels (1-3) took an early 7-0 lead after holder Mike Clausen found Austin Harrington from 23 yards out on a fake field goal on UNLV’s second drive. Daniel Harper’s first-quarter interception marked the first of the year for him and just the second for the UNLV defense. The Rebels lined up five plays later SUU UNLV

with 1st and goal from the one, but following a pass interference call that backed them up to the 16-yard line, Herring was sacked and fumbled the ball away. Colton Cook’s 35-yard field goal early in the second quarter gave the Thunderbirds the 10-7 lead. UNLV’s Nolan Kohorst would knot the game at 10-10 with a 45-yarder with 10 seconds remaining in the half. The Rebel offensive miscues continued at the start of the second half with Herring throwing his second interception, returned by Nick Witzmann 35 yards for the score, giving SUU the 16-10 edge. Austin Minefee’s six-yard touchdown run with just over seven minutes left in the third pushed the lead to 24-10. Minefee would add a second touchdown in the fourth quarter before finishing with 61 yards on the night. Erron Vonner’s interception return put SUU ahead 41-10, sealing the win for the visiting Thunderbirds. UNLV added a late touchdown when Herring found Phillip Payne from 19 yards out. Payne finished with a career-high numbers for both receptions (13) and yards receiving (175). Nate Carter led the Rebel defense with seven total tackles, including one for a loss. Tani Maka finished with one tackle and an interception in the first quarter, marking the first of the year for UNLV.
REBEL NOTES
Tani Maka not only picked off his first career interception in the first quarter. It marked the first interception of the year for the Rebels. UNLV faked a 41-yard field goal attempt that saw holder (and former QB) Mike Clausen instead throw a 23-yard touchdown to tight end Austin Harrington to give the Rebels a 7-0 lead. The successful fake meant UNLV scored first in two straight games after going 15 straight games seeing the opponent score first. Senior Phillip Payne had a career night in the loss with 13 receptions for 175 yards and a TD (previous highs were 10 catches for 170 yards). The 13 grabs marked the second-most in UNLV single-game history (Randy Gatewood had an NCAA-record 23 vs. Idaho in 1994). Payne’s 19-yard scoring reception late in the game gave the Las Vegas native four on the season and 23 in his career, which is just one behind all-time record holder Henry Bailey (24 from 1991-94). Payne also became the 10th Rebel in history to reach the 2,000-yard mark as he now has 2,091. He also moved up two places to rank ninth in program history with 152 catches as a Rebel. Backup QB Sean Reilly saw his first significant action as a Rebel and completed five of six passes for 48 yards. In fact, four different Rebels attempted at least one pass vs. SUU (Herring, Reilly, holder Clausen and punter Chase Lansford -- who attempted a pass on a fake punt). After committing one turnover in the first three games, UNLV QB Caleb Herring lost a fumble and threw three interceptions for a touchdown in the 41-16 loss.

REBEL NOTES
UNLV forced five turnovers in a game for the first time since 2004 at BYU. The game marked the first shutout in the history of the Battle for the Fremont Cannon. UNR downed UNLV for the seventh consecutive year, which is the longest streak in the history of the series. The game marked the final one between the in-state rivals that was played as a nonconference affair as UNR will join the Mountain West in 2012. Former UNLV walkon and UNR transfer PK Allen Hardison scored 12 points kicking against his former school. UNLV’s one pass completion for 21 yards were both record lows in a game for the Rebels. The Rebels were shut out for the first time since Halloween 2009 when they were blanked 41-0 at sixth-ranked TCU. Rishard Matthews’ 90-yard touchdown run and catch tied for the longest ever against the Rebels, also by UNR in 2007.

The UNLV defense held Wyoming to just six total plays for a eight yards in the second quarter in the process. However, UNLV went three-and-out after receiving the third-quarter kickoff and saw mommentum swing back to the home team. Wyoming eventually got a 24-yard field goal to extend the lead before Chris McNeil returned a punt 76 yards for a score to make it 30-14 late in the third quarter. McNeill found Smith for a 28-yard strike on the first play of the fourth quarter and added a two-point conversion to make it a 38-14 game. Daniel Sullivan’s 28-yard field goal with just over six minutes left capped the scoring on the afternoon. Wyoming outgained UNLV 231-154 on the ground and earned a 355-258 advantage in total yards. The Rebels committed nine penalties for 73 yards compared to just one for five for UW. Five players were making their first start for the young Rebels, including true freshman running back Dionza Bradford, who gained 104 yards on 22 carries to post the team’s second 100-yard effort of the season. Junior-college transfer Sean Reilly made his first start at quarterback and completed seven of 16 attempts for 79 yards and one interception. Senior defensive lineman James Dunlap led the way for the Rebels on that side of the ball, finishing with seven total tackles, a quarterback sack and a forced fumble.
REBEL NOTES
Wyoming’s win tied the all-time series at 10-10. Making their first career starts for UNLV vs. Wyoming: QB Sean Reilly (junior), RB Dionza Bradford (freshman), OL Cameron Jefferson (freshman), WR Devante Davis (freshman) and DL Tyler Gaston (sophomore). UNLV redshirt freshman Taylor Barnhill saw his first career action at quarterback. He previously played in 2011 on special teams. Barnhill did not throw a pass but rushed twice for a net of one yard. UNLV snapped a five-quarter scoreless streak with a three-yard TD rush by Tim Cornett in the second quarter. On the very next drive, Cornett found the end zone again from nine yards out to give him four rushing scores of the year and 10 in his Rebel career. Freshman RB Dionza Bradford rushed for a career-high 89 yards in the first half alone. He finished with 104 on 22 carries to mark his first 100-yard game and the team’s second of the season (Tim Cornett). Wyoming returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. It marked the first time a Rebel opponent returned a punt for a score since Shaky Smithson of Utah did it on Sept. 11, 2010.

rushing on 23 carries. His touchdown from 4 yards out, set up by a long return of a blocked field goal, gave the Rams a 35-31 lead with 4:13 remaining. Dionza Bradford had 122 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries for UNLV. Payne’s second TD and Bradford’s 1-yard scoring run gave the Rebels a 31-20 lead. Colorado State cut it 31-28 with Thomas’ 12yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion run by Nwoke. UNLV’s next drive ended when Shaq Bell blocked Nolan Kohorst’s 34-yard field-goal attempt, and Austin Gray ran it back 61 yards to set up Nwoke’s scoring run. Playing their first afternoon home game in five years, the Rebels led 17-13 at halftime. Herring hit Payne in the end zone with 14 seconds left in the first half, a score set up by a fumble recovery on a punt at the Rams’ 11-yard line. Payne’s second score broke the school record held by Henry Bailey (1990-94). Colorado State took a 7-3 on Shaqui Barrett’s 52-yard interception return of a Sean Reilly pass for a touchdown with 5:14 left in the quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Deante’ Purvis ran it back 98 yards for a TD. Reilly, who was 2-of-3 for 27 yards, was relieved by Herring with 2:55 remaining in the first quarter. Herring finished 9-of-13 for 90 yards.
REBEL NOTES
UNLV’s 38-35 victory over Colorado State was the first game under second-year head coach Bobby Hauck – win or lose -- that was decided by 14 points or less. The previous closest game during Hauck’s 20 all-time games at the school was a 35-20 loss (15 points) to Air Force on Nov. 18, 2010. The three-point win was the closest for the Rebels since nipping Hawaii 34-33 on Sept. 19, 2009. It was also the sixth game of the 13 Mountain West meetings between UNLV and CSU that was decided by four points or less. UNLV downed Colorado State at home in back-to-back attempts for the first time. The Rams still hold a 6-2-1 all-time record vs. the Rebels at Sam Boyd Stadium and 13-6-1 overall. UNLV’s net rushing total of 244 yards was the program’s highest since gaining 275 vs. San Diego State on Nov. 10, 2007. The four quarterback sacks marked the most by a UNLV team since getting the same amount at New Mexico on Oct. 24, 2009. UNLV senior Phillip Payne’s two touchdown receptions vs. the Rams made him the Rebels’ all-time receiving TD king. He tied the record held by Henry Bailey (24 from 1991-94) with an eight-yard pass from Caleb Herring in the second quarter. He then broke the record when his 25th came on a 31-yard catch and score (also from Herring) in the third quarter. CSU returned a Sean Reilly pass attempt 52 yards for a score in the first quarter. It marked the fourth pick-six by a Rebel opponent in the last four games and in a span of just four quarters at home (Caleb Herring threw three vs. Southern Utah). UNLV immediately answered the interception with a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Deante’ Purvis. It marked the second-longest kickoff return in school history, following only Ken Bowles’ 99-yarder vs. Cal Poly in 1976. The KOR for a TD was the second of Purvis’ career. The senior also had one for 94 yards vs. BYU in 2009. He became the first Rebel in history to have more than kickoff return for a score as a Rebel.
STRONG FIRST HALF NOT ENOUGH LAS VEGAS (AP) - Kellen Moore threw five touchdown passes to become college football’s winningest quarterback and No. 5 Boise State brushed off a first-half scare from UNLV in a 48-21 victory Saturday night. During the first half, the Broncos looked nothing like the 41-point favorites Las Vegas casinos thought they were. Two of their three first-half touchdowns were set up by UNLV mistakes. After Boise jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead, UNLV answered right back when Dionza Bradford capped the Rebels ensuing drive with a 13-yard touchdown. Early in the second quarter, Boise State blocked a punt and took over needing 40 yards to score. Less than two minutes later, Moore hit Miller for a 30-yard BSU UNLV

touchdown. Once again, the Rebels fought right back and finished a 10-play drive when Caleb Herring connected with Michael Johnson for a 33-yard score to tie it up at 14-14. Herring finished 12-of17 for 117 yards and the one touchdown. Just before halftime, UNLV was called for pass interference and penalized 15 yards, setting up first-and-goal for the Broncos with just over a minute left. Three plays later, Moore found Miller again for a 5-yard score. At the break, each team had run 32 offensive plays, but UNLV had 198 yards compared with 161 for Boise State. UNLV coach Bobby Hauck said he was happier with his team’s play in the first half, but it still missed opportunities. Moore threw two touchdowns each to Tyler Shoemaker and Matt Miller, racking up 224 yards through the air on 18-of-31 passing despite leaving the game early in the fourth quarter. The victory gave Moore 46 career wins, one more than former Texas star Colt McCoy. Moore, in his fourth year as Boise State’s starting quarterback, is 46-2, tops all-time among FBS quarterbacks in winning percentage (95.8 percent). Stanford’s Andrew Luck is second at 85.3 percent (29-5). Boise State (8-0, 3-0) pulled away from UNLV during the second half, as Moore found Shoemaker streaking past UNLV’s secondary in the middle of the field for a 51-yard touchdown with 8:37 left in the third quarter. On its next possession, the Broncos faked a punt on fourth-and-8, snapping the ball to J.C. Percy and letting him run 20 yards before he was tackled at the UNLV 31-yard line. Shoemaker then gave Moore his fifth touchdown as the fourth quarter began by managing to catch a ball that had been deflected in the end zone by a UNLV defender. DJ Harper and Drew Wright added rushing touchdowns for the Broncos in the fourth quarter. Bradford finished the game with 46 yards on 16 carried for UNLV and Bradley Randle racked up 96 yards on just 10 carries. The matchup was the first between the teams since the 1970s, and could be their last for a while if Boise State leaves the Mountain West after one year for the Big East Conference.
REBEL NOTES
Boise State defeated UNLV in Las Vegas for the first time in four all-time attempts. The Broncos took a 4-3 lead in the all-time series that was renewed this year for the first time since 1977. The 48-21 final marked the first time in the series that a visiting team won the game. No. 5/5 Boise State was the second-highest ranked team to ever play in Las Vegas. Only No. 4/4 TCU was ranked higher in 2010. The Broncos also tied for the third-highest ranked team to ever face the Rebels behind No. 2/2 Tennessee in 1996 and the Horned Frogs. The 2007 Wisconsin team was also ranked No. 5/5. Freshman running back Dionza Bradford scored from 13 yards out for his second career touchdown. Making his second career start, he finished with 46 net yards on 16 carries to snap his two-game streak of 100-yard efforts. Sophomore running back Bradley Randle ran for a career-high 96 yards, besting the 78 yards he gained vs. Hawaii earlier in 2011. His night included a career-long 55 yarder. Making his first career start, linebacker John Lotulelei turned in a game-high 13 total tackles. The JC transfer was filling in for regular starter Tani Maka, who was one of five Rebels suspended by UNLV for the game.

the Lobos topped their first-quarter scoring output for the entire season. Crusoe Gongbay had a career-high 93 yards on 13 carries for New Mexico, while quarterback B.R. Holbrook was 15 of 23 for 274 yards. UNLV’s Dion Bradford rushed for a careerhigh 152 yards on 20 carries, but the Rebels (2-7, 1-3) could only manage 61 yards through the air. Rebel quarterback Taylor Barnhill got his first start of the season in place of injured Caleb Herring and rushed for 77 yards in 17 carries while connecting on 7-of-10 passes for 54 yards. Quinton Pointer led the Rebels on the defensive side, totaling nine tackles, including one for a loss and a pass breakup. James Dunlap added two sacks and eight total tackles, pushing his season sack total to a team-leading 6.5.
REBEL NOTES
New Mexico broke a three-game losing streak vs. the Rebels and took a 10-9 all-time lead in the series. UNLV had gone 10 consecutive quarters without committing a turnover until losing a fumble with two minutes remaining in the fourth vs. the Lobos, which UNM converted into the winning touchdown. Redshirt freshman Taylor Barnhill made his first career start at quarterback for UNLV. He had appeared in five games during the season but only once before at quarterback (one series at Wyoming) and four times on special teams. He became the third Rebel to start under center in 2011 as in the previous eight games, Caleb Herring started six and Sean Reilly started two. Barnhill completed his first career pass attempt for eight yards for a first down to tight end Austin Harrington in the second quarter and would finish 7 of 10 on the night for 54 yards. New Mexico threw an 80-yard touchdown pass on its first play from scrimmage, meaning the Lobos became the seventh opponent to score first this season and the 20th of the 22 opponents in the Bobby Hauck era. Dionza Bradford ran for a 45-yard touchdown in the first quarter, which tied his career long, set two weeks earlier vs. Colorado State. Making only his third start as a Rebel, Bradford posted his third 100-yard rushing game of the season and third in four games with a career-high 152 yards on 20 carries. The effort tied the UNLV record for 100-yard games in a season by a freshman (Omar Love in 1992). UNLV rushed for 268 net yards vs. UNM, which was the team’s most since 2007 and marked the fourth consecutive game that the Rebels finished with more than 150 on the ground. That is longest such streak for UNLV since reaching that number in the first five games of 2002. DB Sidney Hodge forced a fumble in the third quarter that was recovered by UNLV’s Alex Klorman. It was Hodge’s first force of the year to go with three recoveries. Sophomore RB Tim Cornett rushed into the end zone from four yards out to start the fourth quarter, which marked his fifth rushing TD of the season, the 11th of his career and the 14th overall score of his career (2 receiving and one KOR).
FALCONS FLY BY REBELS AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo.

close early with a 1-yard score in the second quarter to make it 14-10. But Air Force scored 31 straight points to turn the game into a rout. Jefferson did most of his damage with his legs, rushing for 81 yards and a score. He also threw for 128 yards and another TD. Tim Cornett finished with 104 yards rushing and Bradley Randle added a short touchdown late in the final quarter for the Rebels, who dropped their 15th straight road game. The Rebels have not won away from home since beating New Mexico 34-17 on Oct. 24, 2009. Even though the Falcons won their sixth game of the season, they aren’t quite bowl eligible since two of their wins came against FCS teams. They still have to beat rival Colorado State on the road in the season finale next weekend. Nate Carter led the UNLV defense with 11 total tackles, including one for a loss. Tim Hasson added nine and freshman linebacker John Lotulelei added seven in his third consecutive start . Air Force was led by linebacker Brady Amack with 10, including two for al oss. Alex Means added seven and the game’s only sack while Anthony Wright had three and the only interception on the night.
REBEL NOTES
UNLV lost its fifth consecutive trip to Air
Force and fell to 1-7 all-time in Colorado Springs. Sophomore RB Tim Cornett posted his second 100-yard game of the season with 104 yards on 19 carries. It also marked the fifth 100-yard game by a Rebel back in 2011, which was the most in a season for the school since 2007. Deante’ Purvis’ 90 yards on four kickoff returns made him the all-time leader in KOR yardage at UNLV, passing Henry “Varoom” Vereen’s total of 2,265 set from 1975-78. UNLV’s 227 yards rushing meant the Rebels rushed for at least 150 net yards in five straight games since the first five games of 2002. Nolan Kohorst’s 38-yard field goal in the first quarter was his first attempt since making 1-of-2 vs. Colorado State on Oct. 29. Former Air Force transfer Corbin Brown made his first start as a Rebel against his old team in the secondary.

REBEL NOTES
UNLV honored a class of 16 seniors before their final home game. The Rebels fell to 4-9 in the final home game since joining the Mountain West in 1999. With the win, San Diego State improved its record at UNLV to 5-5 and leads 13-8 overall in the series. Former Rebel head coach Jeff Horton (199498) was on the other sideline as he is in his first season as an assistant coach for the Aztecs. Tim Cornett finished with a career-high 136 yards on 15 carries to mark his third 100-yard game of the season. Cornett’s effort marked the sixth 100-yard game of the year for UNLV (three by Cornett and three by Dionza Bradford), which was the most for the program since posting the same number in 2007. UNLV finished with 141 net yards rushing to snap a five-game streak of gaining 150 yards or more, which was the longest such string since the first five game of the 2002 season. Cornett rushed for touchdowns from 54 and 25 yards out in the first half. It marked the sophomore’s second multiple-TD game of the season and third of his career. He rushed for a career-high three scores in 2010 vs. Wyoming (along with adding a TD reception vs. the Cowboys). After just 24 games played, Cornett already has 16 career touchdowns (13 rushing, 2 receiving and 1 kickoff return). UNLV led 14-7 at halftime to mark its third halftime lead of the season and first since 0ct. 29. It marked the first time this season that the Rebels lost when leading at the break. With starting quarterback Caleb Herring knocked out late in the game, Sean Reilly came off the bench and threw an interception, which was the first turnover of the game for UNLV and just the fourth in the last 19 quarters of play (2 fumbles and 2 interceptions). Senior defensive back Quinton Pointer tied a career high with 10 total tackles and also hauled in his sixth career interception.
TCU RUNS AWAY IN SEASON FINALE FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) ─ Bradley Randle rushed for 71 yards to lead UNLV which lost 56-9 to TCU Saturday. UNLV (2-10, 1-6) led 3-0 after Nolan Kohorst kicked a 39-yard field goal with 5:35 left in the first quarter before TCU scored 21 unanswered points. Waymon James, Matthew Tucker and Ed Wesley all ran for touchdowns for TCU (10-2, 7-0 MWC), which won its last 24 games in that league before moving to the Big 12 Conference next season. Casey Pachall and Matt Brown both scored on UNLV TCU

quarterback keepers on the rain-soaked field. Pachall dropped back to pass, then tucked and ran straight forward for an 8-yard touchdown, plunging through two defenders to get into the end zone. James had a 10-yard TD run, when he went to the right sideline, planted his right foot and then lunged forward with his left hand extended holding the football. Then on the first play after Deryck Gildon blocked a punt, Tucker took a handoff and scored on a 32-yard run when at least five defenders got their hands on him without bringing him down. After Kohorst kicked a 43-yard field goal with 2:13 left in the first half, McCoy and Gardner followed with their big plays for a 35-6 halftime lead. McCoy, who already had a kickoff return for a touchdown earlier this season, backpedaled to field the ball just in front of the goal line and then took off. He ran through a group of players on the left side before breaking into the open and sprinting all the way down the field. When the Rebels got the ball back, senior linebacker Gardner picked off a pass by Taylor Barnhill and went untouched into the end zone. James scored on a 2-yard run to cap TCU’s opening drive of the second half, and Wesley later had a 9-yard run.
REBEL NOTES
Former Rebel linebacker Bryce Saldi, who is a graduate of nearby Southlake Carroll High School, returned to the football field for the first time since suffering a serious head injury in the summer of 2009. Saldi, who has been rehabilitating at his Texas home, served as one of the team’s captains during the pregame coin toss for what would have been his final collegiate game along with the team’s other 15 seniors. TCU was the third ranked opponent to play UNLV in 2012 along with Wisconsin and Boise State. It marked the fourth consecutive season that the Rebels played at least three ranked teams. Rookie running back Dionza Bradford rushed for 10 net yards, which meant he finished the year just 11 yards short of breaking the school’s freshman season record of 624 set by James Wofford in 1997. Sophomore Nolan Kohorst made all three of his field-goal attempts on the day to mark the first time a Rebel hit a trio of three-pointers in a game since Kyle Watson went 3-3 vs. Utah in 2009. Texas native Taylor Barnhill made his second career start at quarterback for the Rebels while another Lone Star State product, senior TE Austin Harrington, led the team in receiving yards with 29. With TCU joining the Big 12 Conference in 2012, the Horned Frogs finished their series with Rebels a perfect 5-0 vs. UNLV in Fort Worth.
