Following a tough road win against Hawaii two weeks ago, the Rebels returned home to take on the Colorado State Rams last week. Unfortunately, UNLV was not prepared as the Rams blew the Rebels out 42-23. The loss is the fifth on the season and served as the main topic of discussion in coach Tony Sanchez’s weekly press conference.
Kicking things off, coach Sanchez started by saying that he felt the team came out flat in the first half, but looked much more energized in the second. Having built a 35-0 lead before halftime, the Rams had shut down any chance of the Rebels coming back.
