Ok, it’s time. We’ve got to talk about the subject that fans of Mountain West Conference teams typically cringe over. It’s time to talk about defense.
The 2017 installment of the UNLV Rebels football team is loaded offensively. We told you all about it last week.
It’s a much different story on the defensive side of the ball. Don’t get me wrong, the Rebels have a lot of potential. But if they have any shot at a bowl game this coming season, they’ll have to improve upon the 36.8 points per game they yielded last year, good for 11th in the Mountain West.
