UNLV Football had a tester this week against California. I know that Cal is a lower tier PAC-12 school, they still are a good football program. Rebels was +13 going into this game, making the Bears heavily favored. The Rebels had a chip on their shoulder going into this one after a good win against Idaho State two weeks before.
With two weeks of rest, you would think that the Rebels would come out well rested on defense and firing on offense. After receiving the kickoff in the 1st, UNLV went three-and-out on their first possession.
Cal went on to score two TDs in the 1st Quarter and UNLV could not get a sustainable drive together until the beginning of the 2nd Quarter.
