Three days removed from an embarrassing 33-30 home loss to the Idaho Vandals after which UNLV Rebels (1-3) head coach Tony Sanchez stated he “very, very, very briefly” considered a mid-game change at quarterback, the decision is being made for him.
After starting quarterback Johnny Stanton missed Tuesday’s practice, Sanchez announced that redshirt freshman Dalton Sneed will be under center for the Rebels Saturday versus Fresno State.
The 6-foot, 195 pound signal caller from Scottsdale, Arizona has thrown all of one pass this season. Sanchez was quick to point out that junior Kurt Palandech will also see action at quarterback against the Bulldogs.
