Five players to watch in UNLV’s football game against Idaho at 6 p.m. Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium:

The junior is coming off a brutal outing in Saturday’s 44-21 loss at Central Michigan, where he completed only 15 of 41 passes for a season-low 131 yards and threw two interceptions. The strong-armed Stanton has struggled with his accuracy in losses to the Chippewas and UCLA.
