Five burning questions as UNLV’s football team prepares to play against Fresno State at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium:
1. How will quarterback Dalton Sneed fare in his first collegiate start?
The big question mark for the Rebels is at quarterback after starter Johnny Stanton suffered a knee injury that will sideline him for at least three-four weeks. Sneed, a redshirt freshman, will make his first start in the Mountain West opener. A self-assured 6-footer from Scottsdale, Arizona, Sneed holds the Arizona high school records for touchdown passes in a game (seven) and career (87) and passing yards in a season (3,740) and career (8,377).
