Game of the week! Maybe not. Here are the four keys to a UNLV win over Fresno State on Friday.
1. Avoid a Palanwreck
There have been growing pains for quarterback Kurt Palandech, starting for the injured Blake Decker. Last week against San Jose State, Palandech threw a pair of first half interceptions that dug the Rebels into a hole that ended up being just a little too deep. UNLV lost to the Spartans, 33-27 in overtime, but Palandech's second half performance was considerably better. The Rebels needn't rely on the sophomore's arm, Fresno State yields yards and points to anyone interested.
