If their last game against Colorado State was a must-win for UNLV, then this game against San Jose State is imperative to keep the Rebels postseason hopes alive.
Just to recap the CSU game, the Rebels offense was stagnant, the defense was equally as bad, giving up 26 first downs and special teams couldn’t help UNLV out of their first half woes. On the other hand, San Diego State steamrolled San Jose State 42-3 so Rebel fans can feel a little better that the Rebels only lost 26-7 to the Aztecs on Oct. 8. The Spartans have won the last six meetings including a 33-27 overtime victory at Sam Boyd Stadium in 2015.
