The UNLV quarterback competition continues to be a tight two-man race between juniors Johnny Stanton and Kurt Palandech, who had similar outings Saturday in a scrimmage that was open to the public at Rebel Park.
Palandech started the scrimmage, which drew about 80 fans and featured 82 plays, which was the equivalent of a full game. Both engineered touchdown drives, with Palandech throwing a short TD pass to Brandon Presley and Stanton scoring on a 30-yard run.
“Kurt came out and played real well early, then slowed down a bit. Johnny started slow and played well later, then they both did some good things at the end,” Rebels coach Tony Sanchez said.
