5 things to watch for in the UNLV-Michigan game

Five things to look for when UNLV's football team plays at Michigan at 9 a.m. PDT Saturday:

1. How the Rebels handle the quarterback situation. Starter Blake Decker, who has an injury near his groin, probably can play, but might be held out to make sure he's healthy for the rest of the season. So expect Kurt Palandech to start. If he struggles again, though, will coaches be tempted to pull the redshirt off freshman Dalton Sneed?

2. Early jitters. UNLV coach Tony Sanchez is taking his team to Michigan Stadium on Friday just to walk around so the players' first experience at the "Big House" isn't on game day.
