Today, we’re continuing our series previewing each team the Michigan Wolverines face this year. Michigan starts its quest for the national title against East Carolina Week 1, and faces another non-conference opponent the following week at the Big House in UNLV.
The Rebels went 5-7 overall last season and 3-5 in the Mountain West, which led to head coach Marcus Arroyo getting fired after going 7-23 in his three seasons.
So what should the Wolverines expect from UNLV under new head coach and former Arkansas defensive coordinator Barry Odom?
Week 2 - UNLV Rebels
- 2022 Record: 5-7 overall, 3-5 in Mountain West (4th)
- Head Coach: Barry Odom, first season
- Key Losses: ILB Austin Aijiake
- Key Additions: CB Jaxen Turner, DE Zavier Carter, RB Vincent Davis
Odom was the head coach at Missouri and is a defensive-minded coach, unlike Arroyo, who served as offensive coordinator under Mario Cristobal at Oregon.
