UNLV football finished 3-9 last season.
Now, after a 1-4 start under second-year head coach Tony Sanchez, the Rebels (3-4,1-2) not only have the chance to finish above .500 but getting to a bowl game is starting to look more realistic after a solidifying win against Hawaii. Saturday is going to be a big game as UNLV and Colorado State (3-4,1-2) are both fighting to keep their postseason hopes alive with five games left in the regular season. If the Rebels beat the Rams on Saturday, UNLV could realistically finish their season 6-6. Key word: could.
