Five players to watch when UNLV’s football team plays San Jose State (2-6, 1-3 Mountain West) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday (CBS Sports Network) at CEFCU Stadium:
1. Dalton Sneed, QB, Rebels:
The redshirt freshman quarterback has alternated good and bad outings since leading UNLV (3-5, 2-2) to a win over Fresno State on Oct. 1 in his first collegiate start. After producing a 91-yard touchdown run and 61-yard touchdown toss against the Bulldogs, he threw for 9 yards and an interception in a loss at San Diego State. Sneed bounced back with 279 yards passing and two touchdowns in a comeback win at Hawaii before throwing for 14 yards and an interception in the first half of Saturday’s 42-23 loss to Colorado State.
